Article 7 Unique Trade Identifier

1. The counterparties shall report derivatives using the UTI generated in accordance with paragraphs 2, 3 and 5.

2. A derivative, reported either at transaction or position level, shall be identified using a ISO 23897 Unique Transaction Identifier (UTI) in field 1 in Table 2 of the Annex. The UTI shall be composed by the LEI of the entity which generated that UTI followed by a code containing up to 32 characters which is unique at the level of the generating entity.

3. The counterparties shall determine the entity responsible for generating the UTI in accordance with the following:

(a) for cleared derivatives other than derivatives between two CCPs, the UTI shall be generated at the point of clearing by the CCP for the clearing member. A different UTI shall be generated by the clearing member for its counterparty for a trade in which the CCP is not a counterparty;

(b) for centrally-executed but not centrally-cleared derivatives, the UTI shall be generated by the venue of execution for its member;

(c) for derivatives other than those referred to in points (a) and (b), where either counterparty is subject to the reporting requirements in a third country, the UTI shall be generated pursuant to the rules of the jurisdiction of the counterparty that must comply first with those reporting requirements.
