ISDA is concerned about the documentation that is required for parties to qualify for exemptions from the margin requirements under the Draft RTS on risk-mitigation techniques. This documentation is not required by Regulation (EU) No 648/2012 (“EMIR”) and imposing such requirements would result in very significant administrative and operational burdens. In the letter, we set out proposed alternative language that could be used to permit exemptions without documentation requirements. This letter is a supplement to the letter we sent to the ESAs on 14 July commenting generally on the Draft RTS.
