European Commissioner Announces Proposed Extension of Equivalence for UK CCPs

European Commissioner McGuinness has announced that in early 2022 the European Commission will be proposing an extension of the time-limited equivalence granted to U.K. CCPs. The existing equivalence decision is due to expire at the end of June 2022. The Commissioner reiterated that the EU would continue to build out the capability of EU CCPs to reduce the reliance on U.K. CCPs. Furthermore, the EU will seek to strengthen the supervisory powers for EU-level supervision of CCPs.
