derivative contract, even when trading with a non-EU counterparty

must be reported
to a TR by all trade counterparties by the end of T+1
Mark-to-market is to be reported daily
2
on all open positions, and if cleared, are the values
provided by the Clearing House

trade details to a TR, typically the agreed identifier from middleware

platforms like ICE Link
ESMA defined reporting standards dictates required reporting details such as: standard
trade economic fields, registered Legal Entity Identifiers (LEI), standard contract product
taxonomies, counterparty types

EMIR Regulatory Reporting Mandate ICE Cleared Trade Reporting
ICE Clear Credit and ICE Clear Europe (CCP) report all cleared trades for all trade parties
to an SDR for CFTC jurisdiction entities
ICE Clear Credit and ICE Clear Europe (CCP) will provide a delegated reporting model that
provides reporting submissions on behalf of Clients and Clearing Members (CM) that are
ESMA jurisdiction entities
CH provides USI/UTI for all cleared trades
CCP vs. CM report
CM vs. Client report
Reports are submitted to the Trade Repository upon clearing acceptance
Aside of new cleared trades, the CH reports post clearing events including:
Netting/Compression Events
MTM and Collateral Valuations
Transfers
Succession & Credit Events
9
EMIR Regulatory Reporting Mandate UTI Generating Party
ICE Link in role of middleware always communicates the Unique Trade Identifier (UTI)
for all bilateral and cleared workflows
For Cleared trades, the ICE clearing house is always the UTI Generating Party (GP)
Two UTIs are generated for Client cleared trades: CCP-CM and CM-Client
For Non-Cleared trades, ICE Link calculates which trade counterparty is the UTI GP per
ISDA best practices guidelines
USI as UTI logic for trades that fall under dual jurisdiction (CFTC,ESMA) reporting
If the counterparty is not under CFTC or ESMA jurisdiction, the party under ESMA
jurisdiction is the UTI GP
Protection (Floating Rate) Seller is the UTI GP per tie-breaker logic
ICE Link will be the UTI Generating Party if neither trade party provides a UTI
Is CFTC
Eligible?

Workflows
11
EMIR Regulatory Reporting Mandate Clearing Workflow
1. Swap Dealer alleges trade to Buy-side
client who designates their Clearing Broker
(CB)
2. Buy-side client affirms block details and
provides allocations with a designated
Clearing Broker (CB)
3. Buy-side client allocations routed to CBs
for clearing consent, upon consent to clear
the trade, the trades are submitted to the
Clearing House (CCP)
4. Clearing House (CCP) provides the
cleared and confirmed status to all parties
5. ICE Link reports the bilateral (alpha) trade
between the Dealer and Buy-side to the
TR and the Clearing House (CCP) reports
the below to the ICE TR
CCP vs. Dealer CB
Dealer CB vs. Dealer
CCP vs. Buyside CB
Buyside CB vs. Buyside
6. Post clearing reporting, the Clearing
House reports the daily MTM and collateral
calculations for cleared trades
Post Clearing Note: The clearing house also regulatory reports Netting, Transfer, Succession/Credit Event Updates
12
EMIR Regulatory Reporting Mandate Bilateral Workflow
1. Swap Dealer alleges trade to Buy-side
client
2. Buy-side client affirms block details and
provides allocations
3. ICE Link designates the trade as
Affirmed and provides the block and the
allocation UTI/details; ICE Link submits
the block trade and the allocations to
the Trade Repository
13
EMIR Regulatory Reporting Mandate Novation Consent
1. Buy-side client alleges Novation to
Transferee Dealer
2. The Transferee Dealer affirms the
novation trade
3. The Remaining Party Dealer affirms to
consent to the novation trade
4. ICE Link designates the trade as
Affirmed and reports a termination of the
original Buy-side vs. Dealer trade and
reports the new Remaining Party vs.
Transferee Dealer trade to the Trade
Repository
