On May 17, ISDA published its views on the European Commission’s proposal to mandate EU clearing participants to clear in Europe. ISDA believes if this requirement is not adequately calibrated, it will create costs and other competitive disadvantages that non-EU competitors will not have to bear, highlighting the trade-off between mandating clearing in Europe and preserving the competitiveness of EU clearing participants. ISDA’s briefing sets out the risks and costs of requiring EU firms to hold an account at EU central counterparties (CCPs) and mandating them to clear a proportion of their business at EU CCPs.
