TR Question 43: Trades cleared by clearing house which is not a CCP [last update 26 July 2016]

Article 9 of EMIR

Trades cleared by a clearing house which is not a CCP

a) When a derivative contract is cleared by an entity which is not a CCP within the meaning of EMIR (e.g. a clearing house), should the clearing house be identified in the field "CCP ID"?

b) How counterparties should identify each other if the transaction is executed in an anonymised market and cleared by a clearing house?

TR Answer 43

a) No. The field "CCP ID" should only be populated with the identifier of a CCP, i.e. a central counterparty which meets the definition of Article 2(1) of EMIR.

b) The counterparty executing the transaction should request the trading venue or the clearing house that matches the counterparties to disclose before the reporting deadline the identity of the other counterparty.
