On 13 September 2018, the Final Regulatory Technical Standards (RTS) on Settlement Discipline have been published in the Official Journal of the European Union. The standards are mandated by the CSD Regulation and constitute part of a binding package providing the regulatory framework for all Central Securities Depositories of the European Economic Area.
The standards have been released by the European Commission on 25 May 2018 and published following the absence of any objection from the Council and the Parliament.
The date of publication in the Official Journal is essential for the calculation of the date of applicability of the standards. The compliance with the standards is required after a phase-in period of 24 months.
