On February 24, 2015, secondary legislation was enacted which amends the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (Over the Counter Derivatives, Central Counterparties and Trade Repositories) Regulations 2013. The amending regulations correct the original legislation and ensure that the special resolution regime under the Banking Act 2009 applies to UK-based CCPs regardless of whether or not they are authorized under the European Market Infrastructure Regulation, from March 18, 2015 until such time as the CCP becomes authorized. The amending regulations come into force on March 18, 2015. The special resolution regime under the Banking Act 2009 will apply to all EMIR authorized CCPs upon that authorization.
The amending regulations are available at: http://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2015/348/pdfs/uksi_20150348_en.pdf.
