ISDA is concerned about the documentation that is required for parties to qualify for exemptions from the margin requirements under the Draft RTS on risk-mitigation techniques. This documentation is not required by Regulation (EU) No 648/2012 (“EMIR”) and imposing such requirements would result in very significant administrative and operational burdens.
