ESMA suggests to postpone Settlement Discipline Standards until 1 February 2022
On 26 August 2020, ESMA released its Final Report CSDR RTS on Settlement Discipline that provides explanations for the proposal to postpone the entry into force of the RTS on settlement discipline until 1 February 2022.
It is sent to the European Commission, and ESMA is submitting the draft RTS presented in Annex IV for endorsement in the form of a Commission Delegated Regulation, i.e. a legally binding instrument applicable in all Member States of the European Union. Following the endorsement of the draft RTS by the European Commission, the Commission Delegated Regulation will then be subject to the non-objection of the European Parliament and of the Council.
