On December 15, 2015, ISDA and GFMA sent a letter to the European Commission highlighting two major concerns related to the mandated use of ISINs for OTC derivatives. The first one relates to the applicability of ISIN for derivatives and derivatives processing as a product identifier. The second relates to competition issues that will be created by a mandated adoption of ISIN.
