Default: Change to:


The updated Q&A - on practical questions related to EMIR - includes new answers regarding CCP’s default management, competent authorities’ access to trade repository data and reporting of notional in position reports.


The European Commission has already released some Frequently Asked Questions on EMIR1 to clarify the timing and the scope of the European Markets Infrastructure Regulation (EMIR), together with certain issues related to third country CCPs and trade repositories.

In view of ESMA's statutory role to build a common supervisory culture by promoting common supervisory approaches and practices, ESMA has adopted this Q&As document which relates to the consistent application of EMIR. The first version of this document was published on 20 March 2013, subsequent updates have been published on a regular basis. This document is expected to be updated and expanded as and when appropriate.

The purpose of this document is to promote common supervisory approaches and practices in the application of EMIR. It provides responses to questions posed by the general public, market participants and competent authorities in relation to the practical application of EMIR.

The content of this document is aimed at competent authorities under the Regulation to ensure that in their supervisory activities their actions are converging along the lines of the responses adopted by ESMA. It should also help investors and other market participants by providing clarity on the requirements under EMIR.
