European Market Infrastructure Regulation (EMIR)

Read aloud

The European Markets and Infrastructure Regulation (EMIR) is a European regulation¹. It contains rules on the mandatory clearing of certain derivatives transactions with central counterparties (CCPs), the active account requirement, and reporting on derivatives transactions and risk mitigation techniques for non-centrally cleared derivatives transactions. EMIR also provides a framework for licensing and supervision of CCPs and supervision of trade repositories through the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA).

This document explains in general terms what EMIR entails and is relevant for banks, clearing institutions, insurers, reinsurers, pension funds and premium pension institutions having their registered office in the Netherlands. See the AFM information page for MIFID II firms, UCITS, AIFs and NFCs. For more detailed information on EMIR, its implications for your institution and how you can meet its requirements, we strongly recommend that you consult the ESMA website. The EMIR rules are elaborated in various regulatory technical standards (RTS) and implementing technical standards (ITS).
