Amendment 53 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 13
(13) The requirement to report exchange-traded derivative contracts (‘ETDs’) imposes a significant burden on counterparties because of the high volume of ETDs that are concluded on a daily basis. Moreover, since Regulation (EU) No 600/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council22 requires every ETD to be cleared by a CCP, CCPs already hold the vast majority of the details of those contracts. To reduce the burden of reporting ETDs, the responsibility, including any legal liability, for reporting ETDs on behalf of both counterparties should fall on the CCP as well as for ensuring the accuracy of the details reported. In order for CCPs to be able to perform their new reporting tasks and since all information required under this Regulation might not be automatically available to CCPs, CCPs, their members and their clients should establish adequate arrangements in order to ensure timely and accurate transmission of the relevant information from the counterparties subject to the reporting obligation to the CCPs. Where and as long as such arrangements are non- existent or not operational, the responsibility, including legal liability, for reporting ETDs should remain with the counterparty itself. _________________ 22 Regulation (EU) No 600/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 15 May 201 on markets in financial instruments and amending Regulation (EU) No 648/2012 (OJ L 173 12.6.2014, p. 84).

Amendment 56 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 13 a (new)
(13a) Shifting the responsibility for reporting details of derivatives which are not OTC derivatives from counterparties to CCPs implies that counterparties might enjoy less freedom of choice concerning the trade repository to which they have to report. It is therefore appropriate to require CCPs, members and clients to consult each other regarding the choice of trade repositories to which reporting should be made.
