Eurex Clearing

Changes to the General Terms and Conditions to the Agreement on Technical Connection to the Clearing EDP of Eurex Clearing AG (Connection Agreement)

The announced introduction of the EurexOTC Clear Service for Interest Rate Swaps requires amendments to the General Terms and Conditions to the Connection Agreement.

The changes in the General Terms and Conditions refer to the definitions of the terms “Eurex Clearing Graphical User Interface (GUI), “FpML Interface (API)”, “OTC Contractual Party”, “OTC Web Clearing Graphical User Interface(GUI)”, “Parties” and “Contractual Party“. “Multi Member Front End Operator” was renamed “Multi-Member-Service Operator”. Also, the options for technical connection to the Clearing EDP of Eurex Clearing AG were enhanced by an “internet-based service”.

As a new element connections and access to clearing data of Eurex Clearing Members who only possess a licence for clearing of OTC products (e.g. Interest Rate Swaps) were introduced.

Furthermore, the data protection clause was changed.

The changes will come into effect on September 28, 2012.

The attachment contains the modified version of the General Terms and Conditions.
