OTC Question 7: Public Register [last update 21 May 2014]
Article 6 of EMIR: Public Register
When will the Public Register be available on ESMA’s website and what type of information will be published in this register?
OTC Answer 7
The Public register contains two types of information:
1. The list of the classes of OTC derivatives notified to ESMA.
This section of the register was published for the first time on 18 March 2014 after a notification was received by ESMA under the procedure described in Article 5(1) of EMIR, i.e. following the authorisation of the first CCP to clear certain classes of OTC derivatives. This part of the Public Register is updated after each CCP authorisation and is available under the Post-Trading section of the following page:
http://www.esma.europa.eu/page/Registries-and-Databases
2. The list of classes subject to the clearing obligation.
This section of the register will be published immediately after the entry into force of the RTS specifying the classes of OTC derivatives subject to the clearing obligation. These RTS will be adopted following the procedure described in Article 5(2) of EMIR.
