4.4.3.3 Settlement (paras. 330-338)

330. The current RTS on reporting indicates "Settlement date" as "date of settlement of the underlying" and sets this field as repeatable. This description is not aligned to the one in the CDE guidance, which refers to the final settlement date.

331. ESMA suggested aligning the description of settlement date to the CDE guidance. However, it should be still possible to report the field twice, to report accurately certain products such as FX swaps for which a settlement date for each leg should be reported.

332. The CDE guidance suggest the reporting of "Settlement location" for derivatives traded in off-shore currency. At this stage ESMA does not see reporting of this field as necessary and proposed that for the derivatives traded in off-shore currencies, the counterparties report onshore currency in the relevant fields.

333. As regards the field 'Deliverable currency' ESMA proposed to rename it 'Settlement currency' to align it with the CDE guidance as well as to harmonise its definition with the one included in the guidance.

334. ESMA proposed to eliminate the field 'Delivery currency 2' given that the 'Settlement currency' as proposed in the CDE guidance should be specified for each leg of the multicurrency products, therefore it is not necessary to maintain a separate field 'Delivery currency 2'.
