Abstract

The European market infrastructure regulation (EMIR) is the European declination of the G20 commitments to the 2009 Pittsburgh Summit. EMIR lays down rules regarding over-the-counter derivatives contracts, central counterparties and trade repositories. EMIR came as an international drive to reduce the risk of counterparty and system related to OTC derivatives, and to increase the transparency of over-the-counter and regulated derivatives markets. The main requirements set forth for derivatives market participants are clearing, bilateral risk management and reporting. EMIR also implements a common legal framework concerning the performance of activities of central counterparties and trade repositories by introducing uniform requirements.
