Response to EMSA consultation on the clearing obligation for financial counterparties with a limited volume of activity

The EACT has responded to the European Securities Markets Authority's consultation on the clearing obligation for financial counterparties with limited volume of activity. ESMA is proposing a delay to the start of the clearing obligation for small financial counterparties. We highlight in our response the need to extend such a delay to the non-financial counterparties subject to the clearing obligation (NFC+s).
