FESE comments on forthcoming Giovannini II Report





The Federation of European Securities Exchanges (FESE) expresses its satisfaction with the overall message of the forthcoming second report. FESE now agrees that removing the main barriers for the efficient provision of crossborder clearing and settlement services is the key towards eliminating the inefficiencies in this area. To reduce the costs, the contribution of efficient central counterparty netting and clearing is regarded as the most important factor.

FESE feels that the Draft Report is giving more emphasis to the settlement of securities than to the clearing side, and therefore suggests a slightly more balanced document by inviting particular comments from practitioners and legal experts in the field of clearing.

FESE also suggests to check the wording of the sections on the individual barriers whether they really exist in the areas of clearing and of settlement. More precise definitions could increase the quality of the comments and the focus of the proposals, thereby facilitating their easier acceptance and later implementation.
