| | |
| The European Market Infrastructure Regulation<ref> http://eur-lex.europa.eu/LexUriServ/LexUriServ.do?uri=OJ:L:2012:201:0001:0059:EN:PDF</ref> (EMIR) became law within the European Union in 2012, although certain of its requirements came into force only after a period of delay.
| |
| | |
| 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 large contingent credit exposures that may arise as a consequence.
| |
| | |
| | |
| The Regulation achieves this object by three significant requirements for:
| |
| | |
| #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
