- Protection of the ability of EU firms to operate in global markets, under the Settlement Finality Directive, European Market Infrastructure Regulation (EMIR) and the Markets in Financial Instruments Regulation.
- Preserving multilateral netting and collateral certainty for derivatives business where uncertainty is currently manifest in the EU framework.
- ‘Wait and See’ as regards to more centralized EU supervision of EU central counterparties following the effectiveness of EMIR 3.
- Less encumbered ‘no action’ powers for the European Securities and Markets Authority.
