353. In accordance with the CPMI-IOSCO CDE Guidance the draft RTS on reporting introduced new package-related fields. This includes field 2.6'Package identifier', which should be used by reporting counterparties or entities responsible for reporting as an unique link between reports belonging to the same derivative contract, where the table of fields did not allow to submit the details in only one report (such as in the case where the derivative contract is composed of a combination of derivative contracts that are negotiated together as the product of a single economic agreementsee also recital 4 of the draft RTS on reporting).

354. While there is a requirement for both counterparties to agree on the number of reports to be submitted for a given contract and on the UTI's assigned to those reports, there is no need to agree on the "Package identifier" used to link those reports between the two counterparties. The "Package identifier" will be unique for a set of reports belonging together and assigned by each reporting counterparty or entity responsible for reporting on their own. For this reason there is no need to consume a "Package identifier" from trading venues.
