3. Details of the initiative
Under the new provision, Clearing Members participating in a CCP switch may request a novation of certain OTC transactions on portfolio basis instead of a novation per transaction. For each such request, Clearing Members need to provide a list of all transactions forming a switch portfolio. If Eurex Clearing agrees, the legal effectiveness of the novation of the transactions forming a portfolio is subject to the additional condition precedent that all novation reports relating to all transactions of the portfolio are made available by Eurex Clearing. This allows to treat the transactions subject to a CCP Switch as a portfolio.
To reflect the changes, the following provision will be amended as outlined in the Attachment:
As of the effective date, the full version of the amended Clearing Conditions will be available for download on the Eurex Clearing website www.eurex.com/ec-en/ under the following link:
