国境を越えたOTC(店頭)デリバティブ取引に関する規制について米国のルー財務長官に宛てた共同レター


Default: Change to:


The letter, signed by Barnier, Schäuble, Moscovici, Osborne et al, expressed concern at the lack of progress in developing workable cross-border rules as part of reforms of the OTC derivatives market.


"We share a common commitment with respect to OTC derivatives reform, and are  implementing rules across very different markets with different characteristics and different  risk profiles, to support this global initiative. We believe the basic principles on which cross-border rules should be based are clear and widely shared. An approach in which jurisdictions require that their own domestic regulatory rules be applied to their firms’ derivatives transactions taking place in broadly  equivalent regulatory regimes abroad is not sustainable. Market places where firms from all our respective jurisdictions can come together and do business will not be able to function under such burdensome regulatory conditions.

A coherent collective solution is therefore needed for cross-border derivatives, and regulators must work together to avoid outright conflicts in regulation and minimise overlaps as far as possible. In this regard, mutual recognition, substituted compliance, exemptions, or a combination of these would all be a valid approach, and careful consideration should be given with respect to registration requirements for firms operating across borders.

Recent experience shows that these discussions can only proceed if they are based on a shared understanding of the overall outcome being sought. For this reason, we are writing to urge that jurisdictions consider carefully the attached principles to avoid cross-border conflicts and support the Pittsburgh G20 reforms. We hope that these principles might provide a useful foundation for regulatory discussions to make progress."
