ISDA Comments on European Parliament Amendments to MISP

On October 30, ISDA submitted comments on the European Parliament’s (EP) proposed transaction reporting and transparency-related amendments to the European Commission’s Market Integration and Supervision Package (MISP).

On transaction reporting, ISDA commends the EP’s ambition but cautions against trying to achieve significant structural reform of transaction reporting under MISP. ISDA believes this would be better achieved under a separate legislative vehicle that would afford adequate time for scrutiny and revision of the proposed legislation.

On transparency, ISDA supports the EP’s amendments to remove post-trade transparency requirements for transactions executed between non-EU branches of EU investment firms and non-EU counterparties, where those transactions are made publicly transparent on third-country approved publication arrangements subject to a transparency regime similar to that under the Markets in Financial Instruments Regulation.
