T2-T2S consolidation: Go-live date postponed by ECB

Eurex Clearing Circular 079/22 T2-T2S consolidation: Go-live date postponed by ECB

1.  Introduction   

The Governing Council of European Central Bank (ECB) announced on 20 October 2022 the rescheduling of the launch of the T2-T2S consolidation project.  

The new go-live date is determined as 20 March 2023

The main reason for the delay is to provide the necessary stable testing conditions to all market participants in order to ensure smooth migration.  

Eurex Clearing notes that all the mandatory testing for margining, invoicing, and billing purposes between Eurex Clearing and Clearing Members has been successfully conducted. Nevertheless, Eurex Clearing will accommodate the testing opportunities for this purpose to all interested Members. 

If the need for regression testing should arise due to new ECB requirements or unexpected critical changes in the infrastructure, Eurex Clearing will inform Members separately. Currently, no such requirement is foreseen. 

  • New introduction date: 20 March 2023 

Learn now more about the T2-T2S Consolidation on our dedicated initiative page under the following link: Support > Initiatives & Releases > Project Readiness > T2-T2S Consolidation. System documentation, circulars, timeline and much more information is available there for you. 

2.  Required action

Members are required to finalize the internal procedures and testing given the new go-live date and submit the Readiness Statement to Eurex Clearing by 10 February 2023

For the already submitted Readiness Statements, there is no further required action in the light of this postponement given that all readiness steps are successfully completed.
