ESMA and RBA conclude MoU on access to data held in trade repositories

06 March 2015

The Memorandum of Understanding will allow RBA to have access to data held in European Trade repositories according to its mandate.

The ESMA-RBA MoU is the second cooperation arrangement established under Article 76 of the European Market Infrastructure Regulation (EMIR). This provision aims at ensuring that third-country authorities that do not have any trade repository in their jurisdiction may access the information on derivatives contracts held in European trade repositories which is relevant for their mandates.  The MoU ensures that guarantees of professional secrecy exist.

The MoU is effective as of 18 February 2015.
