European Market Infrastructure Regulation<ref>http://eur-lex.europa.eu/LexUriServ/LexUriServ.do?uri=OJ:L:2012:201:0001:0059:EN:PDF</ref> (EMIR) came into force as binding law within the European Union on 16 August 2012, although certain of its requirements came into force after a period of delay.
''Capital adequacy''.


The objective of EMIR is to reduce the risks posed to financial systems from the vast web of [[Over the counter]] (OTC) derivative transactions and the contingent large credit exposures that may arise as a consequence. The Regulation achieves this object by three significant requirements for:
Reserve Requirement Ratio.
 
• Central clearing and margining of standardised OTC derivatives (with certain exemptions for Non-Financial Counterparties)
 
• Reporting of all derivative transactions to a trade repository
 
• Risk mitigation measures for all non cleared derivatives including collateral exchange and  confirmation and reconciliation procedures
