欧州委員会、EMIR(欧州市場インフラ規則)に基づくカナダ、スイス、南アフリカ、メキシコ、韓国における中央清算機関に係る規制・監督の同等性評価を公表


Default: Change to:


The European Commission determines that five countries (Canada, Switzerland, South Africa, Mexico and the Republic of Korea) have the equivalent regulatory regimes for central counterparties as the European Union.


These decisions follow previous determinations of equivalence made in October 2014 for four other countries (Australia, Singapore, Japan and Hong Kong).

The European Commission today adopted five 'equivalence' decisions for the regulatory regimes for central counterparties (CCPs) in Canada, Switzerland, South Africa, Mexico and South Korea. CCPs are bodies that sit in the middle of derivatives contracts, becoming the buyer to every seller and the seller to every buyer. The G20 has encouraged the use of CCPs since the financial crisis to reduce risk in derivatives trading.

EU Commissioner Jonathan Hill, responsible for Financial Stability, Financial Services and Capital Markets Union said:

"I am pleased to announce these equivalence decisions for Canada, Switzerland, South Africa, Mexico and the Republic of Korea today.  Derivatives markets are global in nature and today's decisions reflect that.  We continue to work with other third country regulators to assess the equivalence of further regimes and will make additional decisions as soon as is possible."
