Proposal for a regulation
Recital 33

(33) The degree of risk posed by a systemically-important CCP to the financial system and stability of the Union varies. The requirements for systemically- important CCPs should therefore be applied in a manner proportionate to the risks that the CCP may present to the Union. Where ESMA and the relevant central bank(s) of issue conclude that a third-country CCP is of such systemic importance that additional requirements will not ensure the financial stability of the Union, ESMA should be able to recommend to the Commission that that CCP should not be recognised. In its recommendation, ESMA should assess the net benefits of such a move with regards to safeguarding the interests of EU taxpayers and financial stability. The Commission should be able to adopt an implementing act declaring that the third- country CCP should be established in the Union and authorised as such to provide clearing services in the Union.
