欧州委員会、日本を含むEU(欧州連合)域外の10ヵ国におけるCCP(中央清算機関)・取引所の同等性評価を採択


Default: Change to:


The European Commission has determined that India, Brazil, New Zealand, Japan Commodities, United Arab Emirates and Dubai International Financial Centre have equivalent regulatory regimes for central counterparties to the European Union.


The Commission has also determined that the rules governing certain financial markets in Australia, Canada, Japan and Singapore can be deemed equivalent to those in the EU.

The first set of decisions confirms that non-EU CCPs in India, Brazil, New Zealand, Japan Commodities, UAE and Dubai DIFC meet the EU's regulatory standards. This will contribute to market certainty and cross-border activity, avoiding the fragmentation of markets. These decisions follow previous determinations made for other jurisdictions in October 2014 (Australia, Singapore, Japan and Hong Kong), November 2015 (Canada, Switzerland, South Africa, Mexico and the Republic of Korea) and March 2016 (United States Commodity Futures Trading Commission - CFTC).

Today the Commission has also adopted equivalence decisions in relation to Australia, Canada, Japan and Singapore determining that the rules governing trading venues in those countries can be deemed equivalent to those in the EU. The decisions follow a previous determination of equivalence made in July 2016 for US designated contract markets (DCMs) under the CFTC oversight. The decision will allow EU corporates active in financial markets to apply the same treatment for their transactions on these exchanges as for European ones for the purpose of calculating whether they cross thresholds triggering mandatory clearing under the EMIR regulation.
