The EMIR Refit Regulation was published in the EU Official Journal on 28 May 2019. It is intended to amend EMIR to simplify certain requirements and reduce costs and burdens on corporates including amending clearing thresholds, reporting obligations and counterparty classification. The legislation will enter into force on 17 June 2019. While various aspects of EMIR Refit have phase-in periods, other elements of EMIR Refit will come into effect immediately. Clients are advised to act quickly to consider whether their obligations under EMIR have changed.
Our briefing (which can be found here) provides a summary of the key changes to clearing and reporting obligations under the new Regulation.
