Response to EMIR Amendment

18 Jul 2017

Citadel LLC (“Citadel”) appreciates the opportunity to provide comments to the European Commission (the “Commission”) on the proposal to further refine and enhance the European Market Infrastructure Regulation (the “EMIR Refit” proposal). EMIR implements several of the G20 commitments to improve the safety, stability and transparency of the OTC derivatives markets, including (a) central clearing, (b) transaction reporting to trade repositories, and (c) margin requirements for uncleared OTC derivatives. These reforms are essential for a market that was notoriously concentrated, opaque, interconnected, and under-collateralized in the years preceding the financial crisis. However, many EMIR reforms have only been gradually phased-in since its adoption in 2012. For example, while central clearing is now required for the largest financial counterparties when transacting in certain interest rate and credit derivatives, central clearing requirements for more than 90% of EU financial counterparties have been deferred until June 2019. As implementation of the EMIR reforms continues, we support efforts by the Commission to comprehensively review progress thus far, with a view to simplifying requirements and eliminating disproportionate costs where possible. However, at the same time, we agree with the Commission that is important to ensure that the policy objectives of the EMIR reforms, including mitigating systemic risk and increasing market transparency, are not undermined by changes to the regulatory framework. With these considerations in mind, we provide our feedback below on the Commission’s proposals regarding (i) amending the scope of counterparties subject to the clearing obligation for OTC derivatives, and (ii) improving the quality of data that is reported to trade repositories. In particular, we believe it is critical that any proposal to narrow the scope of the EU clearing obligation for OTC derivatives is carefully calibrated based on data analysis showing both (a) the amount of daily trading activity and (b) the number of financial counterparties that would be eligible for the proposed exemption.
