European Market Infrastructure Regulation (“EMIR”) Workshop

CMS Budapest proudly invites you and your colleagues to our second EMIR workshop. During this private and interactive business breakfast we will provide an overview on the current status and future developments of EMIR.

EMIR has introduced various obligations on parties to derivatives contracts, including, amongst other requirements, an obligation to report trades, to centrally clear certain types of OTC derivative contracts and to implement procedures for margining uncleared OTC derivative contracts. 

The EU derivatives regulations that have been slowly coming into force for years are at a point where starting later this year/early next year, all EU banks, funds and NFC+ counterparties trading derivatives will need to have in place new clearing documentation and/or agree to post additional margin under new margin documentation that has just now been published by ISDA.

These are the biggest changes to the ISDA framework for many years.

As we move into the next phase of implementation of EMIR, this workshop will revisit the existing obligations imposed upon relevant market participants, as well as the future implications of recent regulatory developments. In particular, the presentation will cover:

• An overview of EMIR.
• What obligations are already live.
• The new collateral and margin requirements.
• The new documentation produced by ISDA for margining under uncleared derivatives.

The presentation will be held in English. If you cannot attend the presentation, feel free to forward this invitation to your colleagues who may be interested. Please note there is no charge for attending this event, however places are limited and registration is on a first come first served basis.
