(10) A specific Executive Session (“CCP Executive Session”) should be created within the Board of Supervisors of ESMA to handle tasks related to CCPs in general, and supervise Union and third- country CCPs in particular. In order to guarantee a smooth establishment of the CCP Executive Session, it is necessary to clarify its interactions with the Board of Supervisors of ESMA, its organisation and the tasks it should perform.deleted

Recital 11

(11) In order to ensure a coherent supervisory approach and to reflect the mandates relevant authorities involved in the supervision of CCPs, the CCP ~~Executive Session~~Supervisory Committee should be composed of permanent and CCP-specific members~~. Permanent members should include the Head of the CCP Executive Session and two independent Directors, who~~, with a board composed of two permanent and independent Vice Chairs and one permanent and independent Chair. The Chair of the CCP Supervisory Committee and the two Vice Chairs should act independently and objectively in the interest of the Union as a whole. The Commission and the ECB should also appoint permanent members. Members specific to each CCP should include a representative of the competent national authorities of the Member States where the CCP is established, designated in accordance with Regulation (EU) No 648/2012, and a representative of the relevant central bank(s) of issue. The ~~Head~~Chair of the CCP ~~Executive Session~~Supervisory Committee should be able to invite members of the supervisory college, as well as representatives of authorities of third- country CCPs recognised by ESMA as observers to ensure that the views of the other relevant authorities are taken into account by the CCP ~~Executive Session~~Supervisory Committee. While the permanent members should participate in all meetings of the CCP ~~Executive Session~~Supervisory Committee, CCP specific members and observers should participate only where necessary and appropriate for CCPs under their supervision. The presence of independent permanent members and CCP-specific members should ensure that decisions made in the CCP ~~Executive Session~~Supervisory Committee are consistent, appropriate and proportionate across the Union and that the relevant national competent authorities, central banks of issue and observers are involved in the decision-making on issues concerning a CCP established in a Member State.

(25a) Current equivalence decisions take into account market specificities in third countries, including market sectors, which are deemed to be non-systemic to the Union. With the entry into force of this amending regulation, and particularly with regards to determining the need for onsite inspections and direct supervision, ESMA should strive to remain within the spirit of current equivalence decisions until such a time where non-EU facing market sectors become directly systemically important to the Union

(32) In order to ensure the proper involvement of the central bank(s) of issue, the systemically important third-country CCP should also fulfil ~~any addition~~relevant requirements that the central bank(s) of issue consider necessary. Such requirements could relate to stress testing, reporting requirements, liquidity or collateral requirements, thate right for the central bank~~(s)~~ of issue ~~consider necessary~~to participate in on- site inspections and the requirement for the CCP to open a cash account at a central bank before ESMA’s decision to recognize that CCP or, where this is not possible, a commitment to do so within a set timeframe following the recognition of that CCP. The central bank(s) of issue should provide ESMA with confirmation whether or not the CCP complies with ~~any~~those additional requirements ~~as quickly as possible and in any case 180 days from~~in due time before the deadline for ESMA to reply to the CCP’s application ~~to ESMA~~.

(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. TOn the basis of that recommendation, the Commission should be able to adopt an implementing act declaring that one or more clearing services of the third- country CCP should be established in the Union and authorised as such to provide clearing services in the Union.

Article 25 – paragraph 2 c – subparagraph 1

ESMA, ~~in agreement with~~after obtaining consent of the relevant central banks of issue and ~~commensurate with the degree of systemic importance of the CCP in accordance with paragraph 2a~~after consulting the ESRB, may conclude that a CCP is of such substantial systemic importance that compliance with the conditions set out in paragraph 2b does not sufficiently ensure the financial stability of the Union or of one or more of its Member States and should not therefore be recognised. In such a case, ESMA shall recommend that the Commission adopt an implementing act confirming that that CCP should not be recognised in accordance with paragraph 2b. . In such a case, and on the basis of its analysis which has determined that systemic risk will be reduced as a result of such a decision, ESMA shall recommend that the Commission adopt an implementing act prohibiting the CCP concerned from being recognised in accordance with paragraph 2 and requiring the CCP to obtain authorisation in accordance with Article 14 in order to provide the clearing services concerned in the Union. ESMA may, in its analysis, identify specific clearing services or activities for which it considers that recognition shall not be granted or extended. The recommendation shall be accompanied by an analysis of all of the following elements: (a) the elements referred to in points (a) to (d) of Article 25 (2a); (b) the characteristics of the clearing services provided by the CCP, in particular the liquidity needs associated with such services and the related likelihood of need for liquidity support in distressed situations, as well as the substitutability of the clearing services provided by the CCP; (c) the potential consequences of including the outstanding cleared contracts within the scope of the implementing act; (d) the potential consequences on EU clearing members’ own funds requirements under Regulation (EU) No 575/2013 in the event of a requirement under the implementing act for the CCP to immediately apply for authorization in accordance with Article 14; (e) the potential consequences, in terms of costs and benefits, of the requirement for the CCP to apply for authorisation in the Union on the Union clearing members, their clients, linked and operable FMIs and Union markets as a whole, in particular as regards the impact of the decision on the level playing field between Union clients and members and clients and members from other jurisdictions; (f) the potential impact consequences of the requirement for the CCP to apply for authorisation in the Union for the financial stability of the Union or of one or more of its Member States; (g) the existence and nature of liquidity support mechanisms available to the CCP in its home country and the existence of any market mechanisms allowing to spread the risk caused by the CCP.
