EBA consults on the reporting of the hypothetical capital of a CCP under EMIR and the CRR

The European Banking Authority (EBA) has launched a consultation on Implementing Technical Standards (ITS) for the reporting of the hypothetical capital of a central counterparty (CCP).  These are required by the European Markets Infrastructure Regulation (EMIR) and the Capital Requirements Regulation (CRR) and relate to prudential requirements for banks’ exposures to central counterparties.  In particular, the ITS specify:

• the reporting frequency - on a quarterly basis;
• the template for the information that a CCP has to deliver to all credit institutions and investment firms that are clearing members, as well as to the supervisory authorities competent for those clearing members; and
• the conditions under which supervisory authorities may request an increase in reporting frequency.

The deadline for feedback is 30 September 2013 and a public hearing will take place on 5 September 2013.
