ESMA has published an updated list of third-country CCPs which are recognized to offer clearing services and perform activities in the EU in accordance with Article 25 of EMIR. The list also includes a table of classes of financial instruments by each counterparty which are covered by the CCP’s recognition.
Please note that the inclusion of the United Arab Emirates on AML blacklist (eventid=19706) requires ESMA to withdraw the recognition decisions of three CCPs.
