On 12 January 2023, the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) published an updated version of the list containing questions received through its Q&A process. ESMA is working on developing a web-based tool to facilitate the submission of questions and the publication of questions received.
Compared to the previous version, the updated version contains one new question:
1. EMIR clearing obligation (Topic „Post Trading“) [section 9]:
Can virtual power purchase agreements be considered as “risk reducing transactions” under EMIR?
Please note that the questions labeled „New Question“ in the table are not really new questions compared to the [previous version*](https://www.risp.eu/DataService/Attachment.ashx?id=45005) (published on 9 December 2022).
