Response to FCA Quarterly Consultation on UK EMIR Reporting

On June 30, ISDA submitted a response to chapter 5 of the UK Financial Conduct Authority’s (FCA) quarterly consultation CP25/16 on trade repository reporting requirements under the UK European Market Infrastructure Regulation (UK EMIR). Chapter 5 proposes ‘Amendments to the UK EMIR Trade Repository reporting requirements’, which includes the addition of the field ‘Execution Agent’ to table 3 of the EMIR message template, and to correct a typo in Article 8(5) of the EMIR technical standards. In the response, ISDA supports these proposed changes, although with some minor modifications to be made to the new validation rules.

Subject to consultation feedback, the FCA intend to implement the changes proposed in chapter 5 of CP25/16 on December 1, 2025.
