On August 31, 2021, ISDA submitted a response to the European Commission’s (EC) draft Implementing Act (IA) on the statutory replacement rate for EONIA, a fallback of €STR plus 8.5 basis points. The response discusses the limited scope of power to designate a statutory replacement and the need to avoid a presumption of contractual frustration for contracts without an incorporated fallback. Furthermore, ISDA stressed the importance of adopting the IA in a timely manner, in light of the cessation of EONIA, scheduled for January 3, 2022.
In terms of next steps, the EC will need to adopt a final IA prior to its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union, with the regulation coming into force 20 days after its publication.
