The document discusses the European Market Infrastructure Regulation (EMIR) which aims to reduce risks in over-the-counter (OTC) derivatives markets through increased transparency, security and regulation. EMIR requires reporting of all derivatives contracts to trade repositories, clearing of standardized OTC contracts through central counterparties, and risk mitigation processes for non-cleared OTC derivatives. It affects financial and non-financial counterparties engaged in derivatives trading and imposes requirements for reporting, clearing thresholds, and compliance audits.

• In the wake of the global financial crisis the G20 states agreed to subject the financial marketsto extensive regulation serving stabilization
and transparency. In particular, it was intended to ensure supervision of over-the-counter (“OTC”) trading of derivatives(“OTC
derivatives”) which were considered to have played a central role in causing the financial crisis.
• In order to achieve this objective, the “European Market Infrastructure Regulation“ (“EMIR“) entered into force on 16August 2012 within
the European Union (“EU“).As a regulation, EMIR is directly applicable in all member states.
• However, most of EMIR’sprovisions were still inapplicable without the supplementaryRegulatoryTechnical Standards(“RTS“) issued by
the EU-Commission in the form of Delegated Regulations. The first RTS entered into force on 15 March 2013, after being adopted by the
EU-Commission in December 2012 and being approved by the European Parliament and Council.
• In addition to the RTS the EU-Commission issued the Implementing Technical Standards (“ITS“) in the form of Commission Implementing
Regulations, which entered into force on 10 January2013.
• However, as to now, onlya part of the RTS and ITS envisaged for EMIR entered into force.
EMIR, including the corresponding additional regulations and the national provisions, is intended to reduce the
risks – in particular, counterpartycredit risks and systemic risks – and to increase transparency and security in
OTC derivatives markets.

► When analysing EMIR’s consequences and its implementation, the complicated connections and
interactions with other regulations must be considered as well.
► By timely detection of interfaces with other regulations it is possible to raise significant synergetic potentials.
l EMIR is a key elementof the European reform-agenda
to establish a safe, healthy and transparentas well as
responsible financial system,which “serves the real
economy and benefits society as a whole”.
l EMIR also implements requirements of the G20 to
improve market transparency and stability.
l In order to achieve these objectives,the legislators in the
G20 areas issued various regulations, which
complement and partially overlap each other.

In addition and complementary to EMIR, especially the Markets in Financial Instruments Directive (“MiFID“), currently being fundamentally revised (“MiFID2“) and
supplemented by the Markets in Financial Instruments Regulation (“MiFIR“), also serves the objective of an extensive regulation of derivatives trading. Hereby, the
EMIR provisions on clearing obligations, in particular for OTC derivatives, are supplemented by, e.g., trading obligations in regulated markets and clearing
obligations for derivatives traded on regulated markets.
The complex– and not alwaysunambiguous – connections and interactions between those regulations must
also be taken into account.

confines itself to only laying outgeneral framework principles.

EMIR – Who is affected
In general, EMIR affects all market participants involved in derivatives trading (from the first
derivative) and provides extensive requirements for them. Some of the requirements provided by
EMIR are applicable to market participants, even if they do not provide financial services. In this
regard the regulation distinguishes between financial and non-financial counterparties.
All other undertakings involved in derivatives
trading, e.g.
l Energy suppliers
l Industrial undertakings
l Corporates
l Investment firms
l Credit institutions
l Insurance undertakings
l Assurance undertakings
l Reinsurance undertakings
l UCITS and, where relevant, their
management companies
l Institutions for occupational retirement

l Alternative investment funds

- Purpose: Reducing counterparty credit risk
through central clearing of OTC derivatives.
- In general, all OTC derivative contracts where both
parties are subject to a clearing obligation, have to
be cleared.
- Financial counterparties have to clear all their
standardized OTC derivative contracts through a
Central Counterparty (“CCP“).
- Non-financial counterparties are obliged to clear
all their standardized OTC derivative contracts
through a CCP as soon as their positions in OTC
derivative contracts exceed a determined clearing
threshold. Furthermore, non-financial
counterparties are obliged to monitor their OTC
derivative positions with regard to a possible
excess of the clearing threshold.
- In order to detect a possible excess of the clearing
threshold, all derivative contracts held within the
counterparties’ group have to be evaluated.

l Implementation of suitable dispute resolution
procedures;
l Valuation of outstanding contracts;
l Timely, accurate and appropriately segregated
exchange of collateral;
