ESMA published an updated version of its Q&As on data reporting with respect to SFT under the SFTR.
In this latest version, the Q&A below relating to the Reporting of the SFTs concluded by IORPs and pension funds was added as follows – quote:
Question 16: Which are the entities that have the reporting responsibility under SFTR, for IORPs and for personal pension funds? [new/ page 27]
Answer 16: The entities that have the reporting responsibilities under SFTR are the counterparties to the SFTs that they have concluded. Where a financial counterparty concludes an SFT with a nonfinancial counterparty which on its balance sheet dates does not exceed the limits of at least two of the three criteria laid down in Article 3(3) of Directive 2013/34/EU, the financial counterparty shall be responsible for reporting on behalf of both counterparties.
