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 SessionSupervisory Committee should be composed of permanent and CCP-specific members. Permanent members should include the Head of the CCP Executive SessionChair and Vice-Chair of the CCP Supervisory Committee and twofive independent Directors, who 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 HeadChair of the CCP Executive SessionSupervisory 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 on a case by case basis to ensure that the views of the other relevant authorities are taken into account by the CCP Executive SessionSupervisory Committee. While the permanent members should participate in all meetings of the CCP Executive SessionSupervisory Committee, CCP specific members and observers should participate only where necessary and appropriate for CCPs under their supervision. The presence of an independent permanent membersChair and CCP-specific members should ensure that decisions made in the CCP Executive SessionSupervisory 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.

Amendment 167 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 21
Recital 21
(21) While national competent authorities continue to exercise their current supervisory responsibilities under Regulation (EU) No 648/2012, the prior consent of ESMA should be required for certain decisions in order to promote consistency in the supervision of CCPs throughout the Union. A specific mechanism is introduced for cases of disagreement between ESMA and the national competent authorities. Similarly, there is a need to better reflect the mandates of the central banks of issue concerning their monetary policy responsibilities, due to the potential risks that the malfunctioning of a CCP could pose to the implementation of the monetary policy of the Union and the promotion of the smooth operation of payment systems. Therefore, the prior consentconsultation of the relevant central banks of issue should be required on certain decisions envisaged by national competent authorities, in particular when it relates to a CCP’s payment and settlement arrangements and related liquidity risk management procedures for the transactions denominated in that central bank of issue’s currency. Upon conclusion of the period for consulting the central banks of issue, every effort should be made to comply with the amendments, proposed by them. In case, the draft decision doesn’t include the amendments proposed by a central bank of issue, the central bank of issue shall be informed in writing with the full reasons and an explanation of any significant deviation from these amendments.
Amendment 185 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 29
Recital 29
(29) When considering the application of a third-country CCP for recognition, ESMA should assess the degree of systemic risk that the CCP presents to the financial stability of the Union or of one or more of its Member States on the basis of objective and transparent criteria set out in this Regulation. A Commission delegated act should further specify these criteria. In this regard, specific features concerning certain agricultural derivative contracts listed and executed on regulated markets in third countries, which relate to markets that largely serve domestic non-financial counterparties in that third country who manage their commercial risks through those contracts, may pose a negligible risk to clearing members and trading venues in the Union as they have a low degree of systemic interconnectedness with the rest of the financial system.
Amendment 189 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 30
Recital 30
(30) CCPs that are not systemically important to the financial stability of the Union or onf one or more of its Member States should be considered as ‘Tier 1’ CCPs. CCPs that are systemically important, or likely to become systemically important, to the financial stability of the Union or of one or more of its Member States should be considered as ‘Tier 2’ CCPs. Where ESMA determines that a third-country CCP is not systemically important to the financial stability of the Union or of one or more of its Member States, the existing recognition conditions under Regulation (EU) No 648/2012 should apply to that CCP. Where ESMA determines that a third-country CCP is systemically important, additional requirements proportionate to the degree of risk presented by that CCP should be establishedthe CCP should comply with additional requirements. ESMA should only recognise such a CCP where that CCP complies with these requirements.
Amendment 195 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 32
Recital 32
(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 additional requirements that the central bank(s) of issue consider necessary according to this Regulation. The central bank(s) of issue should provide ESMA with confirmation whether or not the CCP complies with any additional requirements as quickly as possible and in any case 180 days from the CCP’s application to ESMAin the deadline to respond to the consultation in the framework of the recognition of a third-country CCP.
Amendment 201 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 33
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, in agreement with the relevant central bank(s) of issue, concludes that a third-country CCP is of such systemic importance that compliance with the additional requirements will not ensureset out in this Regulation does not sufficiently address the financial stability ofrisk for the Union or for one or more of its Member States, ESMA should be able to recommend to the Commission that that CCP should not be recognised. The Commission should be able to adopt an implementing delegated act declaring that the third- country CCP should be established in the Unionany Member State and authorised as such to provide clearing services in the Union.
Amendment 207 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 34
Recital 34
(34) ESMA should regularly review the recognition of third-country CCPs as well as their classification as Tier 1 or Tier 2 CCPs. In this regard, ESMA should consider amongst others, the changes in the nature, size and complexity of the third- country CCP’s business. Such reviews should take place at least every two years and more frequently where necessary.
Amendment 208 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 35
Recital 35
(35) ESMA should also be able to take into account the extent to which the compliance of a systemically-important third-country CCP with the requirements applicable in that third country can be compared to the compliance of that CCP with the requirements of Regulation (EU) No 648/2012. When conducting this assessment, ESMA should take into account, where relevant, whether the Commission has adopted an implementing acts determining that the legal and supervisory arrangements of the third country where the CCP is established are equivalent to those of this Regulation and any conditions which the application of that implementing act may be subject to. When conducting this assessment, to ensure proportionality, ESMA should also consider the extent to which the financial instruments cleared by the CCP are denominated in Union currencies. The Commission should adopt a delegated act specifying further the modalities and conditions to assess such comparable compliance.
Amendment 211 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 36
Recital 36
(36) ESMA should have all the powers necessary to supervise recognised third- country CCPs to ensure their ongoing compliance with the requirements of Regulation (EU) No 648/2012. In certain areas, ESMA’s decisions should be subject tothe central bank(s) of issue shall be consulted on those aspects of the draft decision which relate to the currency it issues. Upon conclusion of the period for consent of the relevant central bank(s) of issueulting the central banks of issue, every effort shall be made to comply with the amendments proposed by them. In case the decision doesn’t include the amendments proposed by a central bank of issue, the central bank of issue shall me informed in writing with the full reasons and an explanation of any significant deviation from these amendments.
