ESMA has published an new version as of 28 November 2023 of its Public Register for the Clearing Obligation under EMIR as mandated by Article 6 of Regulation (EU) No 648/2012, EMIR, and Article 8 of Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) No 149/2013. In this register, ESMA publicly specifies the following:
1. the „classes of OTC derivatives subject to the clearing obligation“ including OTC interest rate and credit derivatives classes, authorized central counterparties (CCPs) to clear these derivatives, and the dates upon which such clearing obligations must be met; and
2. the „classes of OTC derivatives“ that may be cleared by EU authorized central counterparties. This includes an overview of all asset classes per CCP as well as detailed information with respect to each class (interest rate, credit, foreign exchange, and equity commodity).
As a comparison with the previous version reveals, Eurex Clearing (Germany) does now offer a new Fixed-to-Float Interest Rate Swap Class („C.1.3 Fixed- to-Float STIBOR SEK 28D-15Y“) (please see page 6 in the attached PDF).
