The reforms are set to force Europe's major cash equities clearers to compete head-on for equities clearing flow, thereby forcing down clearing fees.

Nasdaq OMX is the fifth trading platform to announce the introduction of a choice of three or more clearers to its market during the past three months. In July, alternative trading platforms Bats Europe, Chi-X Europe and UBS MTF each announced their intention to offer a choice of four clearers, EMCF, SIX x-clear, EuroCCP and Anglo-French clearing house, LCH.Clearnet. Last month, Turquoise, Europe's second-largest alternative trading facility owned by the London Stock Exchange, said it would add the LSE's Italian provider CC&G, LCH.Clearnet and SIX x-clear to its market.
