ESMA updates EMIR Q&A


The updated Q&As provide clarifications on the new framework introduced by Regulation 2019/834 amending EMIR and amends an existing Q&A on novation.

The overall update mainly provides new answers on the implementation of the EMIR Refit framework with regards to:

The clearing obligation for financial (FC) and non-financial counterparties (NFC);

The procedure for notifying when a counterparty exceeds or ceases to exceed the clearing thresholds; and,  

How counterparties should report derivatives novations and removes some obsolete references to frontloading when populating field “Clearing Obligation”.

Finally, this update also includes an amendment to the existing Q&A 20 in the OTC Section, clarifying that for the purpose of applying the clearing obligation, all types of novations of derivative contracts are covered.
