Eurex Clearing

Reporting by Eurex Clearing according to Article 9 EU Regulation No. 648/2012 (EMIR): Updated version 1.7 of the Member Information available

In extension of the obligation to report derivative transactions according to Article 9 EMIR (European Market Infrastructure Regulation) for off-book and exchange traded derivatives that came into effect on 12 February 2014, also collateral- and valuation reports have to be sent, since 12 August 2014.

Since both counterparties of a trade have to report and since common data must be identical, it is important that the CCP and its Clearing Members use the same methods to populate the common data fields.

The attachment “Member Information – Reporting by Eurex Clearing according to EMIR Article 9” (Member Information), version 1.7 describes how Eurex Clearing reports derivative transactions according to EMIR to enable Clearing Members and other reporting participants to align the reporting. Compared to the previous version 1.6 enclosed in Eurex Clearing circular 121/14, the updated version 1.7 contains modified respectively new rules regarding the population of specific EMIR fields as a result of new validation rules which recently have been announced by ESMA via the transaction registers (presumably valid as of 1 December 2014). In addition, the updated version 1.7 contains new rules for the UTI construction which will be valid with C7 Release 3.0 (scheduled for November 2015).
