ALFI comments on the ESMA Discussion Paper
23 March 2012 | Statements and Position Papers
ALFI welcomes the ESMA discussion paper – Draft Technical Standards for the Regulation on OTC Derivatives, CCPs and Trade Repositories as very positive and fully supports the initiatives aimed at enhancing safety and transparency in the over-the-counter derivatives market.
Regarding these Draft Technical Standards, the ALFI EMIR and OTC Derivatives working Group has analyzed the document and has some more specific comments. The Group decided not to answer to all the questions raised in this document however, only to a selection of questions that are developed in the ALFI position paper and that appear to be more relevant for the fund’s industry.
