Comments in response to ESMA consultation paper: Draft Technical Standards for the Regulation on OTC Derivatives, CCPs and Trade Repositories

The EACT welcomes the work done by ESMA to develop the draft technical standards covered by this consultation paper. In the aim of providing the most constructive support to ESMA we are limiting our comments to the areas of most concern in the drafting. In all cases the views we express are done so from the position of non-financial counterparties, in other words the real economy end-users of the financial system.
