On 19th December, 2019, The Association of Financial Markets in Europe (AFME), Futures Industry Association (FIA), International Capital Market Association (ICMA), International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. (ISDA) and International Securities Lending Association (ISLA) published a new agreement intended to simplify reporting across different European Union regulatory regimes.
The Master Regulatory Reporting Agreement (MRRA) gives market participants an option to use a single template to help them manage regulatory obligations and provide services related to reporting under the European Market Infrastructure Regulation (EMIR) and the Securities Financing Transactions Regulation (SFTR).
The MRRA sets out common terms governing mandatory and delegated reporting of derivatives transactions under EMIR, compatible with changes introduced via EMIR Refit, as well as securities financing transactions under the SFTR. The agreement has also been drafted with a view to ensuring these terms remain effective post-Brexit.
On 6th December, 2023, the MRRA was updated to reflect certain changes to the reporting rules under EMIR REFIT, including amendments to the EMIR Reporting Annexes and Derivatives Annex.
The MRRA and Explanatory Notes (along with blacklines against the previously published version) are attached below.
