Chapter 1
Financial Conduct Authority | Bank of England Changes to reporting requirements, procedures for data quality and registration of Trade Repositories under UK EMIR 1 Summary Why we are consulting
1.1 The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) and Bank of England (Bank) share supervisory
responsibilities for the UK version of the European Market Infrastructure Regulation (UK EMIR). This is a joint consultation, setting out the FCA and Bank’s proposals to amend the framework for derivatives reporting under UK EMIR.
1.2 We aim to align the UK derivatives reporting framework with international guidance
issued by the Committee on Payments and Market Infrastructures and International Organization of Securities Commissions (CPMI-IOSCO), where appropriate, to ensure a more globally consistent data set. This will enable authorities to better monitor for systemic and financial stability risk, particularly given the global nature of the derivatives market.
1.3 We are proposing measures relating to mandatory delegated reporting requirements,
counterparty notifications and reconciliations processes and the use of XML schemas and global identifiers. These proposals aim to provide clarity to counterparties and Trade Repositories (TRs), including on areas where there are discrepancies on how certain data fields are reported.
1.4 The FCA is also proposing new targeted requirements for TRs in relation to the
registration and reconciliation processes, to streamline the process for registration, ensure consistency of reporting and improve overall data quality. Joint FCA/Bank of England consultation
1.5 The FCA and Bank are consulting jointly on proposals for derivatives reporting
(proposal 1 below) as we share supervisory responsibilities for the reporting requirements under Article 9 of UK EMIR. The Bank is consulting on changes to the framework for derivatives reporting as they apply to Central Counterparties (CCPs) and the FCA is consulting on the same changes as they apply to all other counterparties.
1.6 The FCA is consulting separately (on its own) on the proposals relating to TR
registration and TR requirements for procedures for reconciliation and to verify how complete and correct the data is (proposals 2 and 3 below).
1.7 Any references to ‘we’, ‘our’ or ‘us’ within this CP should be read in this context and
based on this split of responsibilities.
1.8 We are consulting on 3 keys proposals:

Chapter 1
Financial Conduct Authority | Bank of England Changes to reporting requirements, procedures for data quality and registration of Trade Repositories under UK EMIR e. We are proposing specific requirements for the use of global identifiers, including the use of Legal Entity Identifiers (LEIs), Unique Trade identifiers (UTI) and Unique Product Identifiers (UPIs). These proposals look to promote consistency among counterparties in how global identifiers are used, helping to improve overall data quality. Proposal 2
CP21/31
Chapter 1
Financial Conduct Authority | Bank of England Changes to reporting requirements, procedures for data quality and registration of Trade Repositories under UK EMIR
1.14 Proposal 3 would result in new rules for TRs which we propose to include in a new
specialist sourcebook, the UK EMIR Rules (EMIRR), in the FCA Handbook. See Appendix 3 for the draft rules.
1.15 For Proposal 1, the FCA and Bank propose to rely on their respective powers to make,
amend and revoke technical standards as set out under Article 9(5) and 9(6) UK EMIR and Section 138P of the Financial Services and Markets Act (FSMA). For Proposal 2 the FCA proposes to rely on its power to amend technical standards as set out in Article 56(3) UK EMIR and Section 138P FSMA. For Proposal 3 the FCA proposes to rely on its rule making power in Article 78(10) UK EMIR (as inserted by Section 40 of the Financial Services Act 2021).
1.16 The FCA and the Bank are also proposing to make a number of ‘consequential changes’
to other pieces of UK legislation, where that legislation contains cross-references to provisions of the technical standards which we are proposing to amend or revoke and replace as part of this consultation (as set out above). Those changes are intended to ensure that any such cross-references continue to function effectively in light of the substantive proposals in this CP. Outcome we are seeking
1.17 The G20 jurisdictions have implemented derivatives reporting requirements following
the G20 commitment for all over-the-counter (OTC) derivatives to be reported to TRs, with the aim of improving transparency for authorities in an internationally consistent way. However, the specific data fields and how they are reported varies across G20 jurisdictions, limiting the scope to monitor effectively the derivatives market on a global level and increasing burdens for counterparties and TRs which have to comply with different rules across different jurisdictions.
1.18 There is scope to amend the current requirements to better fulfil the G20
commitment. Other G20 jurisdictions are already considering changes to their derivatives reporting regimes, similar to the proposals set out in this consultation, to make such improvements.
1.19 Through the proposals, 4 key outcomes are being sought:

CP21/31
Chapter 2
Financial Conduct Authority | Bank of England Changes to reporting requirements, procedures for data quality and registration of Trade Repositories under UK EMIR 2 The wider context The harm we are trying to reduce/prevent Background
2.1 Following the global financial crisis in 2008, the G20 committed to improving the
transparency and regulatory oversight of OTC derivative trades in an internationally consistent way to monitor systemic risk in the derivatives market. This is a key objective for authorities, given the interdependencies of a global market.
2.2 This G20 recommendation was originally implemented for UK counterparties through
legislation under the EU European Market Infrastructure Regulation (EU EMIR). EU EMIR introduced a requirement for all counterparties who enter into derivative trades to report details of both their OTC derivatives and exchanged traded derivatives (ETD) to a registered, or recognised, TR. This is dual-sided reporting ie both sides of a derivatives trade are required to report their side of the trade.
2.3 Given their role in enhancing the transparency of the derivatives market and reducing
financial stability risks, EMIR also prescribes specific requirements for TRs relating to registration, supervision and enforcement.
2.4 The reporting requirements aim to improve the transparency for authorities of
derivatives trades, which contributed to the global financial crisis in 2008 with complex interdependencies between counterparties that made it difficult to understand the nature and level of risks involved in the transactions. These attributes can amplify market stress and contribute to financial instability.
2.5 The EMIR reporting rules were first implemented in 2014 for all counterparties. Since
2014, there have been updates to the reporting framework to aid implementation for counterparties and increase the level of data available to authorities to better fulfil the systemic risk monitoring objectives under the regime.
2.6 EMIR REFIT came into force in June 2017 and made changes to the derivatives
reporting framework under EU EMIR to make the regime more proportionate for counterparties who do not pose significant systemic risk. Following these changes, further work was undertaken to assess the effectiveness of the derivatives reporting framework, and the proposals in this CP are the outcome of that work.
2.7 The majority of G20 jurisdictions have implemented similar derivatives reporting
frameworks to EU EMIR, including the US, Singapore, Australia and Japan, in response to the G20 recommendation for all OTC derivatives to be reported to a TR. A UK reporting regime for derivatives reporting
2.8 The European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 (EUWA) converted directly applicable
EU law into UK law at the end of the transition period. The EUWA also allowed for amendments to ‘onshored’ legislation so that it continued to operate effectively in
CP21/31
Chapter 2
Financial Conduct Authority | Bank of England Changes to reporting requirements, procedures for data quality and registration of Trade Repositories under UK EMIR the UK immediately following the end of the Transition Period. The onshoring changes were not intended to make policy changes, other than where appropriate to reflect the UK’s new position outside the EU.
2.9 To ensure a smooth transition for UK counterparties fulfilling their derivative reporting
obligations, and TRs continuing to offer derivative repository services in the UK, EMIR and its supporting technical standards were onshored into UK legislation immediately following the end of the Transition Period. The UK EMIR reporting framework is almost identical to the current EU framework with only minor amendments to ensure the regime is operable under UK law. International guidance on derivatives reporting and alignment with the European Securities and Markets Authority’s (ESMA) proposals on EMIR
2.10 In response to the jurisdictional fragmentation of reporting requirements, a CPMIIOSCO working group developed global guidance for authorities regarding the
definition, format and usage of key derivatives data elements reported to TRs.
2.11 In April 2018, CPMI-IOSCO published technical guidance on the harmonisation of
critical data elements for OTC derivatives (CDE guidance). This central document provides guidance on the definition, format and allowable values of critical data elements to be provided to authorities and lays the foundation for jurisdictions worldwide to meet the original G20 commitment of implementing derivative reporting requirements in an internationally consistent way. Following consultation, ESMA published a final report in December 2020 with proposed changes to the derivatives reporting framework under EU EMIR, aligning with the CDE guidance where feasible.
2.12 Under the UK EMIR regime, the derivatives reporting framework is predominantly
aligned with the EU EMIR derivatives reporting framework. The proposals within this CP are also predominantly aligned with the changes to the reporting framework proposed by ESMA in their December 2020 final report. We have taken this approach as we agree with the majority of the policy proposals in ESMA’s final report. However, we have also taken into consideration feedback from UK counterparties and TRs to date. This indicates that there is a preference, particularly from market participants who are
part of groups who operate in both the UK and EU, for our approach to be aligned to
avoid any unintended cost and/or operational burden that would arise as a result of any divergence.
2.13 As noted above, the FCA and Bank have predominantly aligned with the approach
taken by ESMA throughout. There are, however, a small number of areas in Proposals 1 and 3 that diverge from ESMA’s proposals where we have taken a different policy approach for the UK regime. Where this is the case, we have highlighted it below, with our reasons.
2.14 As of the publication of this CP, we note that the EU Commission have yet to finalise
the EU amended rules which could lead to further changes to the EU proposals. We will consider any changes and whether it would be appropriate to seek to adopt these changes.
CP21/31
Chapter 2
Financial Conduct Authority | Bank of England Changes to reporting requirements, procedures for data quality and registration of Trade Repositories under UK EMIR Approach in other jurisdictions
2.15 We are aware other G20 jurisdictions are also considering changes to their derivatives
reporting regimes to align with international guidance for derivatives reporting. The US (CFTC), Singapore and Australia are all in the process of consulting on similar changes relating to the table of reportable fields and the use of global identifiers. Our proposals in these areas are therefore not only predominantly in line with the changes made in the EU but also other G20 jurisdictions. The issues we are looking to address
2.16 There are issues with the consistency of derivative reporting requirements across the
G20 jurisdictions which limit authorities’ ability to effectively monitor the derivatives market on a global level. These inconsistencies also contribute to increased cost and operational burdens for counterparties and TRs who operate in different jurisdictions.
2.17 The proposals seek to amend the reporting requirements in technical standards under
Article 9 UK EMIR with the aim of harmonising the UK EMIR dataset with the CDE
guidance. This will help to ensure that UK authorities have the necessary data, with increased data quality, to effectively monitor systemic and financial stability risk in the global derivatives market. Our proposals also support the FCA’s statutory objective of protecting and enhancing market integrity and the Bank’s financial stability objective.
2.18 An internationally harmonised derivative reporting framework would also reduce
operational and cost burdens for UK counterparties and TRs who are part of multinational groups subject to reporting requirements in different jurisdictions.
2.19 We are also aware there are issues with how counterparties are reporting certain data
fields as a result of inconsistent interpretation of how these fields are to be reported. This ultimately affects data quality which then limits our ability to effectively use the UK EMIR data for systemic monitoring purposes or for other purposes to support our statutory objective of protecting and enhancing market integrity.
2.20 In addition, the new requirements for TRs will ensure harmonised policies and
procedures that will improve the overall data quality and provide clarity to TRs on requirements that currently have inconsistencies. How it links to our objectives Market integrity
2.21 The proposals outlined in this consultation will help the FCA fulfil its statutory objective
of protecting and enhancing the integrity of the UK financial system by improving the quality of data available to the FCA for monitoring systemic and financial stability risk in the derivatives market. Financial Stability
2.22 The proposals outlined in this consultation will help the Bank fulfil its statutory
objective to protect and enhance the stability of the financial system of the United Kingdom by increasing the clarity and transparency of the OTC derivative markets

Chapter 2
Financial Conduct Authority | Bank of England Changes to reporting requirements, procedures for data quality and registration of Trade Repositories under UK EMIR through improvements to data quality and international consistency. By doing so it makes it easier for the Bank to identify emerging potential risks. Wider effects of this consultation Cost and resource implications for counterparties and TRs
2.23 Implementing the proposals detailed in this CP, notably the amendments to the
table of reportable fields, would require both counterparties and TRs to undertake
significant IT system changes, incurring material costs and resource implications. To understand the overall cost, we surveyed a selection of counterparties and TRs for information on the costs associated with implementing the proposals in this CP. The cost benefit analyses are provided in Annex 2 and Annex 4.
2.24 We welcome feedback on this analysis and the effect on firms.
Implementation period
2.25 Given the scale of the changes required to meet the new requirements, we are
proposing an 18-month implementation period following publication of our updated technical standards and rules (unless otherwise specified). This would allow reporting counterparties and TRs adequate time to incorporate the proposed changes within their budgets, update the relevant IT systems and make other necessary changes to report under the updated technical standards and rules.
2.26 For the amendments to the table of reportable fields, we are also proposing a further
6-month period (to start after the 18-month implementation period) during which counterparties would be required to update all outstanding derivative trades in line with the new requirements (with the exception of our proposals relating to Unique Trade Identifiers (UTI) generation, discussed in paragraphs 3.69 – 3.74). This is a necessary step to meet our objective of enhancing the data quality and enabling UK authorities to effectively make use of the UK EMIR dataset. Q1: Do you expect the proposed 18-month implementation period for counterparties and TRs to implement the proposals as detailed in this CP to pose any challenges? If yes, please provide as much detail as possible on the expected challenges and any views you have on how those challenges could be mitigated. Q2: In relation to the amendments to the table of reportable fields, do you expect the proposed 6-month period for counterparties to update their outstanding derivative reports in line with the new requirements to pose any challenges? If yes, please provide as much detail as possible on the expected challenges and any views you have on how those challenges could be mitigated.

Financial Conduct Authority | Bank of England Changes to reporting requirements, procedures for data quality and registration of Trade Repositories under UK EMIR Equality and diversity considerations
2.27 We have considered the equality and diversity issues that may arise from the proposals
in this Consultation Paper.
2.28 Overall, we do not consider that the proposals materially impact any of the groups with
protected characteristics under the Equality Act 2010. But we will continue to consider the equality and diversity implications of the proposals during the consultation period and will revisit them when making the final rules.
2.29 In the meantime, we welcome your input to this consultation.
CP21/31
Chapter 3
Financial Conduct Authority | Bank of England Changes to reporting requirements, procedures for data quality and registration of Trade Repositories under UK EMIR 3 Our proposals Proposal 1: Amendments to the reporting requirements under
Article 9 of UK EMIR (FCA and Bank)
3.1 We are proposing a number of changes to the framework for reporting to TRs under
Article 9 UK EMIR via the revocation and replacement of the technical standards on
reporting, as described in Chapters 1 and 2. The key changes that result from this are set out below. See the technical standards in Appendix 1 for full details. Amendments to the table of reportable fields under UK EMIR
3.2 Through our proposed introduction of new technical standards on reporting, we are
proposing to amend the table of reportable fields under UK EMIR to align with the CDE guidance, as published by CPMI-IOSCO, where appropriate. The proposed new technical standards would also introduce changes to provisions in the main body of the technical standards, relating to the changes in reportable fields, when compared with the existing technical standards. This is aligned with the approach taken by ESMA in its December 2020 final report.
3.3 Our proposed approach would result in only minor divergences from the CDE
guidance, where needed to ensure that all derivative trades in scope of UK EMIR can be reported, to enhance the UK EMIR data set and to provide clarity for counterparties and TRs where there are current inconsistencies. These adjustments should not prevent international aggregation of derivatives data with other jurisdictions.
3.4 Our approach to aligning, where applicable, with ESMA’s proposals also avoids any
disproportionate cost and operational burdens for counterparties and TRs, especially those who are part of groups that operate under both the UK and EU regimes.
3.5 Our proposals will result in the addition of 89 new reportable fields and amendments to
the taxonomy of 104 existing reportable fields. The amendments to 104 existing fields cover all changes that may relate to a name change, definition change and/or format change. The revised reporting framework will be increased from 129 fields to 203 fields, albeit not all 203 fields are required to be populated for all transactions.
3.6 Annex 6 includes a summary table highlighting the proposed changes to the reportable
fields. The table highlights where we have inserted new fields to be reported, what existing fields are to be amended (and whether those amendments relate to a format, definition or name change) and where existing fields remain unchanged.
3.7 The full table of reportable fields, including the more granular details on how and what
should be reported for each field can be found in Appendix 1 in the draft Technical Standards.
CP21/31
Chapter 3
Financial Conduct Authority | Bank of England Changes to reporting requirements, procedures for data quality and registration of Trade Repositories under UK EMIR Q3: Do you agree with our proposal to align the table of reportable fields under UK EMIR with the CDE guidance issued by CPMI-IOSCO to the extent that it is applicable in the UK? If no, please explain the rationale for your answer. Q4: Do you agree with our proposal to align the technical standards on reporting under Article 9 UK EMIR, including the table of reportable fields, with ESMA’s approach to the extent that it is applicable in the UK? If no, please explain the rationale for your answer. Approach to reportable fields under UK EMIR not aligned with CDE guidance
3.8 As stated above, our general approach is to align the reportable fields under UK EMIR
with the CDE guidance. However, for certain reportable fields we have proposed not to fully align with the CDE guidance as doing so would not align with the current format of the UK EMIR reporting framework. We have highlighted the key areas of divergence from the CDE guidance below alongside our reasons for not fully aligning. This is not an exhaustive list. For sight of the full table of reportable fields please refer to the draft Technical Standards in Appendix 1.
3.9 For the reportable fields described in 3.10 to 3.19 below we have aligned the approach
with the ESMA proposals.
‘Execution timestamp’ (existing field)
3.10 The ‘execution timestamp’ field is to be populated by counterparties to confirm when
a trade was executed. The CDE guidance only provides guidance on how to populate fields relating to OTC derivatives. This includes the guidance relating to the execution timestamp field.
3.11 However, UK EMIR requires counterparties to report details of both their OTC
derivatives and ETDs. To accommodate this wider scope under UK EMIR, we propose to enrich the definition as set out in the CDE guidance to cover both OTC derivatives and ETD reports, allowing the execution timestamp field to also be populated for position-level reporting. Q5: Do you agree with our proposal relating to the ‘execution timestamp’ field? If no, please explain the rationale for your answer. ‘Intent to clear’ (proposed new definition under CDE guidance)
3.12 The ‘cleared’ reportable field under UK EMIR details whether a trade has been put
through clearing via a CCP. The CDE guidance introduces a change to the definition of the ‘cleared’ field by adding a new ‘intent to clear’ option when populating this field.
3.13 We believe that this additional option is not required under UK EMIR. Its inclusion would
not provide additional data to support our objectives. As a result, and to minimise the operational impact of our changes, we propose not to include the option for the ‘cleared’ field to be populated with the ‘intent to clear’ value. Q6: Do you agree with our proposal not to include the ‘intent to clear’ option when populating the ‘cleared’ field? If no, please explain the rationale for your answer.
CP21/31
Chapter 3
Financial Conduct Authority | Bank of England Changes to reporting requirements, procedures for data quality and registration of Trade Repositories under UK EMIR ‘Settlement location’ (proposed new field under CDE guidance)
3.14 The CDE guidance suggests that the settlement location should be reported for
trades that are traded in offshore currencies. We believe that this field would not provide any additional benefits in terms of fulfilling our objectives under the UK regime because the data that would be provided is already sufficiently covered by other fields. To minimise the operational impact of our changes, we propose not to include the ‘settlement location’ field under UK EMIR. Q7: Do you agree with our proposal not to include the ‘settlement location’ field? If no, please explain the rationale for your answer. ‘Venue of execution’ (existing field)
3.15 The ‘venue of execution’ field, if applicable, is used to identify the venue where a
derivative trade was concluded. The current definition used for populating this field is largely aligned with the definition proposed in the CDE guidance (under the name ‘platform identifier’). The current definition does not allow the option ‘BILT’, which the CDE guidance has added for the purpose of when a reporting counterparty cannot determine whether the instrument is admitted to trading or traded on a traded venue.
3.16 The FCA publishes details of instruments admitted to trading or traded on UK and
EEA trading venues on a daily basis on the FCA’s Financial Instruments Reference Data System (FCA FIRDS). This provides clarity as to which instruments are admitted to trading or traded on a trading venue for the purposes of reporting under UK EMIR. As such, we do not propose to include ‘BILT’ in the list of permitted values.
3.17 Separately, we recognise that the existing Technical Standards specify that a Market
Identifier Code (MIC) of a venue should only be reported for instruments admitted to trading or traded on a trading venue. This sits in contrast to the validation rules, which allow the reporting of MIC codes for any type of venue. We understand that this can reduce clarity for market participants.
3.18 We are therefore proposing to amend the requirements of the venue of execution
field so that MIC codes are required to be reported for Multi Trading Facilities (MTFs), Organised Trading Facilities (OTFs), Systematic Internalisers (SIs) and thirdcountry organised trading platforms even if the derivative concluded on the venue is considered an OTC derivative under UK EMIR. Q8: Do you agree with our proposal to amend the definition of the ‘venue of execution’ field? If no, please explain the rationale for your answer. ‘CP rating trigger indicator’ and ‘CP rating threshold indicator’ (proposed new fields under CDE guidance)
3.19 There are various reportable fields under the UK EMIR framework that relate to
collateral and margin. We propose to align with the CDE guidance for all the reportable fields relating to collateral and margin. However, the CDE guidance proposes 2 new reportable fields relating to counterparty rating triggers, namely ‘CP rating trigger indicator’ and ‘CP rating threshold indicator’.
3.20 We understand from industry feedback that it would be a huge amount of work to
source the relevant information to populate these proposed new fields in comparison to the potential benefit this additional data would provide for the purposes of
CP21/31
Chapter 3
Financial Conduct Authority | Bank of England Changes to reporting requirements, procedures for data quality and registration of Trade Repositories under UK EMIR assessing systemic risk and supervising market participants. For this reason, we are proposing not to include the ‘CP rating trigger indicator’ and ‘CP rating threshold indicator’ fields under UK EMIR. Q9: Do you agree with our proposal not to include the ‘CP rating trigger indicator’ and ‘CP rating threshold indicator’ fields? If no, please explain the rationale for your answer. Other amendments to the reportable fields under UK EMIR
3.21 To improve the overall data quality of the UK EMIR data, we are proposing further
amendments to the table of reportable fields and body of the technical standards. These are areas where current inconsistencies in reporting have been identified and where further clarity for counterparties and TRs is required.
3.22 For the fields described in 3.23 to 3.34 and 3.39 to 3.43 below we have aligned
the approach with the ESMA proposals. For our proposal relating to the details to be reported under the ‘intragroup’ field in 3.35 to 3.38 below, this is an additional clarification we are proposing to provide under the UK EMIR regime. ‘Confirmation timestamp’ and ‘Confirmed’ (existing fields)
3.23 The current requirements for the population of fields relating to timely confirmation
only applies to non-cleared OTC derivative trades. However, the current requirements do not explicitly exclude details of ETDs being reported in the ‘confirmation timestamp’ and ‘confirmed’ fields. This created inconsistencies in how these fields are populated, leading to poor data quality. We are proposing to amend the definition of these fields to clarify that they are only reportable for non-cleared OTC derivatives and not for ETDs. Q10: Do you agree with our approach to clarify that the ‘confirmation timestamp’ and ‘confirmed’ fields are only applicable for OTC non-cleared derivatives? If no, please explain the rationale for your answer. ‘Beneficiary ID’ and ‘Trading capacity’ (existing fields)
3.24 Currently, the ‘beneficiary ID’ field is populated to identify the counterparty subject
to the rights and obligations arising from the trade. The ‘trading capacity’ field is populated to identify whether the reporting counterparty has concluded the trade as principal or as agent for the account of a client. Under UK EMIR, counterparties are required to report only when they are principal to a derivatives trade, therefore, the ‘trading capacity’ field does not provide any additional value for authorities.
3.25 In most cases, the reporting counterparty and beneficiary are the same entity, and in
other cases the field has led to misinterpretation, again limiting the value of this data.
3.26 In addition, interpretation of how to populate these reportable fields has been
inconsistent, leading to poor data quality. We are proposing to remove the ‘beneficiary ID’ and ‘trading capacity’ fields under UK EMIR. Q11: Do you agree with our proposal to remove the ‘beneficiary ID’ and ‘trading capacity’ fields? If no, please explain the rationale for your answer.
CP21/31
Chapter 3
Financial Conduct Authority | Bank of England Changes to reporting requirements, procedures for data quality and registration of Trade Repositories under UK EMIR ‘PTRR ID’ and ‘type of PTRR technique’ (proposed new fields)
3.27 Under the current table of reportable fields, there is a ‘compression’ field populated
to identify whether a derivatives trade is a result of a compression exercise. However, this field does not account for trades that result from other post-trade risk reduction (PTRR) services, such as portfolio rebalancing. The ‘compression’ field does not link to other reports for trades that are the result of the same compression exercise.
3.28 To ensure that UK authorities have adequate information to monitor all forms of PTRR
activities, we propose to introduce new fields relating to PTRR, including the ‘PTRR ID’ and ‘type of PTRR technique’ fields. The ‘PTRR ID’ field should be generated by the PTRR service provider or the CCP performing a compression exercise in order to connect all reports for derivative trades that form part of the same PTRR exercise.
3.29 To ensure that this identifier is unique, the first 20 characters should be the LEI of the
compression provider, followed by (up to) 32 alphanumeric characters that uniquely identifies the compression exercise in question. This unique identifier should be populated for all reports that form part of the same PTRR exercise. These trades should be reported with action type ‘Termination’ or ‘New’ as appropriate.
3.30 In the case of derivative trades that have already been reported as being subject to
a compression exercise but subsequently enter into a further compression exercise, a new identifier should be reported, overwriting the previously reported code. The different types of PTRR services, and how we propose to define them, are set out in the draft Technical Standards in Appendix 1. Q12: Do you agree with our proposal to add new fields relating to PTRR, including the ‘PTRR ID’ and ‘type of PTRR technique’ fields? If no, please explain the rationale for your answer. ‘Subsequent position UTI’ (proposed new field)
3.31 We have identified the benefits of linking derivative trades reported at trade level
that are subsequently included in a position level report. We are proposing to include a new ‘Position UTI’ field in order to facilitate the linking of trade level and position level reports, which should be populated for derivative trades that are terminated and subsequently included in a position level report. This field should be populated with the UTI of the newly created or modified position.
3.32 Separately, we propose to clarify the circumstances under which firms can report at
position level in the new Technical Standards on the Minimum Details of the Data to be Reported to Trade Repositories, in line with the ESMA Final Report (which reflects the ESMA Q&A on position level reporting (TR question 17)). Q13: Do you agree with our proposal to introduce a new ‘Position UTI’ field? If no, please explain the rationale for your answer. ‘Derivative based on cryptoasset’ (proposed new field)
3.33 There is a growing interest for investment products that use cryptoassets as an
underlying asset. Derivatives that are based on cryptoassets fall within scope of the reporting requirements in UK EMIR where they are financial instruments referred to in paragraphs 4 to 10 of Part 1 of Schedule 2 to the Regulated Activities Order.

Financial Conduct Authority | Bank of England Changes to reporting requirements, procedures for data quality and registration of Trade Repositories under UK EMIR
3.34 We propose to introduce a new field to indicate whether a derivative trade is based
on cryptoassets as an underlying asset. This data will allow UK authorities to monitor trends and risks of the use of derivative trades that are based on cryptoassets that fall within scope of the EMIR reporting obligation. Q14: Do you agree with our proposal to include the new ‘Derivative based on cryptoasset’ field? If no, please explain the rationale for your answer. ‘Intragroup’ (existing field)
3.35 The ‘intragroup’ field indicates whether a derivatives trade was entered into by 2
entities within the same group. An intragroup transaction is a transaction between 2 undertakings who are included in the same consolidation on a full basis and who are subject to appropriate centralised risk evaluation, measurement and control procedures. Understanding whether a trade is intragroup is useful for us to assess and understand the risk profile of these trades. However, the current definition of the ‘intragroup’ field refers to the onshored Article 3 of EMIR which includes intragroup transactions entered into by UK counterparties with another group entity in a jurisdiction only where equivalence has been granted pursuant to Article 13(2) of EMIR.
3.36 This legacy approach means that the ‘intragroup’ field does not identify intragroup
transactions entered by UK counterparties with their third country group entities where no equivalence has been granted, even though they do fall under the same consolidation on a full basis and have centralised risk management procedures as detailed above. This has led to this field being inconsistently populated, but it also provides incomplete data to UK authorities relating to intragroup transactions.
3.37 We propose to amend the way in which the ‘intragroup’ field is required to be
populated, clarifying that all derivative trades entered into by counterparties within the same group, regardless of whether the trade was entered into with a third country group entity where an Article 13(2) equivalence determination has been made, should be populated with ‘Yes’.
3.38 This amendment is only for the purposes of populating the ‘Intragroup’ field for
derivatives reports under Article 9 of UK EMIR in order for reports to accurately reflect when trades are entered into by 2 counterparties within the same group. It does not amend the definition of ‘intragroup’ where it is referred to elsewhere under UK EMIR or related technical standards. Q15: Do you agree with our proposal to amend the way in which the ‘intragroup’ field is populated for the purposes of reporting under Article 9 of UK EMIR only? If no, please explain the rationale for your answer. Reporting of lifecycle events
3.39 Under Article 9(1) UK EMIR, counterparties must report details of any derivative
trade concluded, and any modification or termination of the trade, no later than the following working day (T+1). It is important that lifecycle events are reported accurately and consistently throughout the life of a derivative trade. There are, however, certain reporting scenarios where clarity is sought on what action type is to be used.
3.40 We are proposing to expand the options in the ‘action type’ field for lifecycle events.
This will include a new option for counterparties to reinstate a trade that was
CP21/31
Chapter 3
Financial Conduct Authority | Bank of England Changes to reporting requirements, procedures for data quality and registration of Trade Repositories under UK EMIR terminated in error. We are also proposing to introduce a new ‘event type’ field to compliment the ‘action type’ field with the business event triggering a given report.
3.41 The full set of options in the proposed ‘action type’ and ‘event type’ fields is set out
in the draft Technical Standards in Appendix 1. We will set out, and consult on, the permitted combinations of action types and event types as part of our draft UK EMIR validation rules. We will aim to publish the final validation rules in conjunction with our final Policy Statement. Q16: Do you agree with our proposals relating to the reporting of lifecycle events? If no, please explain the rationale for your answer. Format of the table of reportable fields
3.42 Under the current Technical Standards, the reportable fields are split into 2 tables:
counterparty data and common data. The counterparty data table includes information specific to the reporting counterparty. The common data table includes information pertaining to the derivatives trade. To further improve the readability of the tables, and to align with the reporting framework for securities financing transactions under the onshored Securities Financing Transactions Regulation (UK SFTR), we are proposing to introduce a third table of reportable fields containing information on margin and collateral.
3.43 Margin is often exchanged at portfolio level, the information is often reported
separately and is not specific to a single derivative trade. The additional table will also include fields for a Unique Trade Identifier (UTI) and a portfolio code, which will allow UK authorities to link the reported information on margin and collateral to the derivative trade or portfolio in question. Q17: Do you agree with our proposal to add an additional table of reportable fields to include fields relating to margin and collateral? If no, please explain the rationale for your answer.
3.44 The amendments relating to the proposals discussed in paragraphs 3.2 to 3.43 above
will be included in 2 new technical standards covering: (i) the minimum details of data to be reported to trade repositories and (ii) the standards, formats, frequency and methods and arrangements for reporting to trade repositories. See Appendix 1. Reporting and interest rate benchmark reform
3.45 In July 2021, the FCA published a statement on its UK EMIR News webpage confirming
our approach to the reporting of OTC derivatives to amend a reference rate or apply a fallback in the place of LIBOR. To further support the transition, we are proposing to add additional indicators as options under the “Indicator of the floating rate of leg 1” and “Indicator of the floating rate of leg 2” fields. Specifically, we propose to include the relevant codes from the ISO 20022 Benchmark Name Curve Codes to identify the Sterling Overnight Indexed Average (SONIA), the Secured Oversight Financing Rate (SOFR), the Euro Short-Term Rate (€STR) and the Tokyo Overnight Average (TONA). Q18: Do you agree with our proposal to add the above codes to the options for the 'Indicator of the floating rate of leg 1' and 'Indicator of the floating rate of leg 2' fields? If no, please explain the rationale for your answer.
CP21/31
Chapter 3
Financial Conduct Authority | Bank of England Changes to reporting requirements, procedures for data quality and registration of Trade Repositories under UK EMIR Requirements for counterparty notifications and reconciliation processes Notifications of errors and omissions
3.46 We recognise reporting counterparties may encounter errors and omissions in their
UK EMIR reporting. To ensure the data accessible to UK authorities remains accurate, and to maintain the quality of the data, it is essential that any errors and omissions are remediated in a timely manner. We are proposing reporting counterparties should notify the relevant authority (Bank for CCPs; FCA for all other counterparties) of any material errors or omissions in their UK EMIR reporting as soon as the issue has been identified. Notifications can be made using the template form available on the relevant authorities’ webpage. Q19: Do you agree with our proposal for counterparties to notify the Bank or FCA (as applicable) of any material errors or omissions relating to their UK EMIR reporting? If no, please explain the rationale for your answer. Reconciliation processes
3.47 We also recognise that counterparties may encounter breaks when reconciling details
within their UK EMIR reports and the importance of ensuring any reconciliation breaks are remediated as soon as possible. We are proposing that counterparties must have arrangements in place to ensure that any reconciliation breaks, as communicated by TRs, are resolved where possible, as soon as practicably possible.
3.48 We recognise that the underlying cause of reconciliation breaks can vary and impact
the remediation timeframe. However, we will consider whether there is a need to provide further guidance to counterparties indicating specific processes and timeframes in which to complete this remediation. Q20: Do you agree with our proposal for counterparties to have arrangements in place for the remediation of any reconciliation breaks? Do you think there is a need for further guidance specifying the process and timeframes for remediation? Requirements relating to mandatory delegated reporting
3.49 Under Article 9(1)(a) UK EMIR, an FC is required to report both sides of an OTC
derivative transaction when trading with a non-financial counterparty whose average aggregate notional amount of OTC derivatives trading, on a group basis, is below the clearing threshold (NFC-). This mandatory delegation transfers both the operational and legal responsibility for reporting to the FC, reducing the burden on smaller nonfinancial counterparties (NFCs). Details to be provided to an FC by an NFC3.50 The mandatory delegated reporting requirements under UK EMIR stipulates that the NFC- should provide the details of the OTC derivative trade in question which the FC
CP21/31
Chapter 3
Financial Conduct Authority | Bank of England Changes to reporting requirements, procedures for data quality and registration of Trade Repositories under UK EMIR cannot be reasonably expected to possess, to ensure that the FC has all the necessary information to report on behalf of the NFC-.
3.51 To support this requirement, we are proposing that the FC puts in place arrangements
for the timely provision by the NFC- of certain details of the OTC derivative trade where those are unknown by that FC at the conclusion of an OTC derivative trade because these are fields an FC may not reasonably be expected to know when trading with an NFC-. We propose that the arrangement covers the following details:
CP21/31
Chapter 3
Financial Conduct Authority | Bank of England Changes to reporting requirements, procedures for data quality and registration of Trade Repositories under UK EMIR
3.60 Standardised XML schemas in accordance with ISO 20022 are currently available for
exchanging reportable information between TRs and authorities. ISO 20022 is an ISO standard for the electronic data interchange between financial institutions. Under UK EMIR, the use of XML schemas has standardised the data exchange between TRs and UK authorities. However, there is currently no equivalent XML schema under UK EMIR for the data exchange between reporting counterparties and TRs. This has led to challenges in aggregating the data in a complete and accurate way.
3.61 We are proposing to introduce a standardised XML schema based on the end-to-end
reporting solutions in the ISO 20022 standards for the reporting by counterparties to TRs under UK EMIR. This will help to reduce rejection rates, harmonise data transformations and address other issues that reporting entities can face when reporting to TRs.
3.62 As per the CDE guidance, ISO 20022 is considered the most viable option for a single
standard to be used for reporting. Implementing an XML schema based on the endto-end reporting solutions in the ISO 20022 will enable consistency of reporting across jurisdictions. This approach is also aligned with the use of XML schemas in relation to other regulatory reporting data sets such as UK MiFIR and UK SFTR.
3.63 This approach is broadly aligned with the ESMA proposals relating to XML schemas.
We will aim to publish the relevant XML schemas alongside the final UK EMIR technical standards, updated validation rules and policy statement that accompany the final proposals as laid down in this CP. Q22: Do you agree with our proposal relating to the use of standardised XML schemas based on the end-to-end reporting solutions in the ISO 20022 standards? If no, please explain the rationale for your answer.
3.64 The amendments relating to the proposals 3.59 to 3.63 above will be included in the
new technical standards covering the standards, formats, frequency and methods and arrangements for reporting to trade repositories. See Appendix 1. Requirements relating to the use of global identifiers
3.65 We are proposing to mandate the use and format of global identifiers such as LEIs,
UTIs and LEIs under UK EMIR as below:
Use of LEIs
3.66 LEIs are used globally across different regulatory reporting regimes to identify
reporting counterparties. They are a crucial data element under UK EMIR. It is imperative that counterparties maintain appropriate use of their LEIs for UK authorities to be able to effectively utilise the UK EMIR data to support our objectives.
3.67 We are proposing to introduce changes through our new technical standards on
Standards, Formats, Frequency and Methods and Arrangements for Reporting to require counterparties to renew and maintain their LEIs according to the terms of their chosen Local Operating Unit (LOU) under the Global Legal Entity Identifier System (GLEIS).
CP21/31
Chapter 3
Financial Conduct Authority | Bank of England Changes to reporting requirements, procedures for data quality and registration of Trade Repositories under UK EMIR
3.68 We are also proposing a framework for counterparties to notify TRs upon a corporate
event that will result in a change of its LEI (or when it first obtains an LEI). This request should be made, where possible, at least 30 calendar days prior to the event. This will enable TRs to update the relevant LEIs within derivatives reports in a timely manner. Q23: Do you agree with our proposal to relating to the use of LEIs and framework for updating LEIs? If no, please explain the rationale for your answer. Use of Unique Trade Identifiers (UTIs)
3.69 UTIs are used under UK EMIR to identify individual derivative trades. This is another
crucial identifier for authorities who are able to use this field to quickly and accurately monitor details relating to individual trades. We are proposing to implement a defined waterfall process for generating a UTI. This will ensure derivative trades are appropriately identified, and details of a derivatives trade are reported in a timely manner.
3.70 The waterfall prescribed in the process is aligned with the current UTI generation
waterfall in the guidance published by CPMI-IOSCO for UTIs. The framework within the current Technical Standards will no longer be the default UTI generation waterfall, but instead will provide a ‘back up’ solution in some cases, in the event that certain aspects of the new UTI generation waterfall are not met.
3.71 The guidance for UTIs considers transactions where either counterparty is subject to
the reporting rules of a third country. In this case, we propose that for transactions that were neither centrally executed nor cleared, the UTI generation rules of the jurisdiction with the earliest reporting deadline should apply.
3.72 We are proposing new rules for the allocation of responsibility for generating
the UTI. See Article 8 of the proposed new technical standards in Appendix 1 on standards, formats, frequency and methods and arrangements for reporting to trade repositories, for further detail on the proposed waterfall process.
3.73 Given the T+1 reporting deadline, we are proposing the UTI should be communicated
to the other counterparty by no later than 10:00am UTC of the working day following the date of the conclusion of the derivative. In addition, special characters should no longer be allowed for new UTIs - they should consist solely of alphanumeric characters.
3.74 In relation to the structure of the UTI, we are proposing to follow the UTI guidance,
which suggests that the UTI should be a combination of the LEI of the generating entity and a unique code created by that entity. However, to limit the burden on counterparties, we do not propose the regeneration of UTIs for outstanding trades if they are not in line with these new proposals. When a UTI is allocated to a trade, the UTI should remain the same throughout the lifetime of the trade. If following the termination of a trade it is replaced with 1 or more trades (for example when there is a change to either counterparty, in the case of netting, compression or reporting at position-level), new UTI(s) should be used. Q24: Do you agree with our proposals relating to the use of UTIs? If no, please explain the rationale for your answer.
CP21/31
Chapter 3
Financial Conduct Authority | Bank of England Changes to reporting requirements, procedures for data quality and registration of Trade Repositories under UK EMIR Use of Unique Product Identifiers (UPIs)
3.75 UPIs and International Securities Identification Numbers (ISINs) are used globally to
identify products traded in derivative transactions. This is another crucial data element for derivatives data reporting that allows authorities to monitor risks in distinct products.
3.76 Under our proposals, derivatives admitted to trading or traded on a trading venue or
a SI would need to be identified using an ISIN. All other derivatives would need to be identified with UPIs. This use of ISINs is in line with its usage under UK MiFIR.
3.77 We are proposing counterparties continue to report UPI reference data until the UPI
system is fully in place and can be easily accessed by authorities. Q25: Do you agree with our proposals relating to the use of UPIs and ISINs? If no, please explain the rationale for your answer.
3.78 This approach is also aligned with the ESMA proposals and the guidance issued by
CPMI-IOSCO on UPI.
3.79 The amendments relating to proposals 3.65 to 3.77 above will be included in the new
technical standards covering the standards, formats, frequency and methods and arrangements for reporting to trade repositories. See Appendix 1. Proposal 2: Amendments to the registration process for TRs (FCA)
3.80 We recognise the benefits of having aligned processes for the registration of TRs
under UK EMIR and UK SFTR, particularly for TRs who offer services under both regimes. For this reason, we are proposing to amend the registration framework under UK EMIR as follows. Registration fees
3.81 We are proposing to align the framework for registration fees with that under UK SFTR.
This will reflect that TRs benefit from a discounted registration fee when applying for an extension of services under UK EMIR if they were registered, and paid the relevant registration fee, under UK SFTR Registration process
3.82 To streamline the registration process for entities that are already FCA-registered
TRs, we propose to specify the streamlined requirements for TRs registered under UK SFTR to apply for an extension of services to provide services under UK EMIR. This contrasts with the current rules where an application for full registration is required. An application to extend an existing TR registration under UK SFTR should contain additional details, as set out in the relevant technical standards, to ensure that we have the information we need to assess the application.
3.83 There are also a number of minor changes we have proposed to the technical
standards on registration, including to reflect the proposals for TRs in Proposal
CP21/31
Chapter 3
Financial Conduct Authority | Bank of England Changes to reporting requirements, procedures for data quality and registration of Trade Repositories under UK EMIR 3 below, as well as in relation to record keeping by TRs. Our proposals relating to amendments to the registration process for TRs are aligned with the ESMA proposals. Q26: Do you agree with our proposal to amend the TR registration framework under UK EMIR, including to align with the registration framework under UK SFTR? If no, please explain the rationale for your answer.
3.84 The amendments relating to the proposals in 3.80 to 3.82 above will be amendments
to the UK versions of: (i) Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) No 150/2013 with regard to regulatory technical standards specifying the details of the application for registration as a trade repository; and (ii) Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1248/2012 with regard to implementing technical standards on the format of applications for registration of trade repositories. See Appendix 2. Proposal 3: Requirements for TRs to establish procedures and policies to ensure the effective reconciliation of data between TRs; to verify the completeness and correctness of the data reported; and the orderly transfer of data between TRs (FCA).
3.85 TRs play an important role in enhancing transparency in the derivatives market
and providing data access to authorities for systemic and financial stability risk monitoring purposes. Alongside consolidating derivatives data, TRs perform key data quality checks. We are proposing to strengthen the existing data quality procedures performed by TRs by introducing new rules for TRs in this area. We are proposing to include these as part of a new specialist sourcebook in the FCA Handbook, the EMIR Rules (EMIRR).
3.86 Our proposals relating to new requirements for TRs are predominantly aligned with
the ESMA proposals. However, we have taken a different approach for inter-TR reconciliation. We are proposing not to prescribe in EMIRR which fields are subject to reconciliation or the application of tolerance levels for those fields. We intend to include details on the fields subject to reconciliation and the tolerance levels for relevant fields by way of guidance. We intend to consult separately on this guidance. This will allow us the flexibility to review and amend tolerance levels for particular fields in the event they are set at levels that impact the data quality and lead to consistently high rejection rates.
3.87 The key elements of our proposals for TRs are covered in 4 areas below, which relate
to: verification of report submissions, updating of LEIs, reconciliation of data and providing common responses to firms. This is not an exhaustive list of all the proposed changes. Please refer to the draft Technical Standards in Appendix 3 for a complete overview of the proposed new requirements for TRs. TR proposal 1: Framework for the verification of report submissions
3.88 We are proposing a framework for verifying report submissions under UK EMIR,
which would align UK EMIR with the UK SFTR. This framework will cover participant authentication and authorisation, schema validation, and logical and content validation.

3.98 We propose to implement a standardised framework for TRs for the use of common
rejection, reconciliation and end-of-day responses. These responses should be sent to reporting counterparties as required. The common messages should be in XML format that are based on the end-to-end reporting solutions in the ISO 20022 standards. Rejection responses
3.99 We are proposing TRs are required to send detailed information on the results of data
verification including any rejection responses to report submitting entities within 1 hour of submission of the derivative report to the TR. The response message should include the necessary detail on the acceptance or rejection of submitted reports and the specific reason for rejection. TRs should also be notified of any rejections by way of the end of day response. Reconciliation responses
3.100 We are proposing TRs provide report submitting entities with the results of the
reconciliation process in relation to a reported derivative no later than sixty minutes after the conclusion of the reconciliation process. TRs should provide counterparties with the results of the reconciliation process in an XML format and a template developed in accordance with the end-to-end reporting solutions in the ISO 20022 standards, including details of the fields that have not been reconciled. End-of-day response
3.101 We are proposing TRs should make available to reporting counterparties, report
submitting entities and entities responsible for reporting, as well as third parties which have been granted access to information under Article 78(7) UK EMIR, the information set out below in relation to relevant derivatives.
3.102 TRs should provide the parties listed above with responses in an XML format and a
template developed in accordance with the ISO 20022 standards and include the following information:

Introduction
CP21/31
Annex 2
Financial Conduct Authority | Bank of England Changes to reporting requirements, procedures for data quality and registration of Trade Repositories under UK EMIR
7. In addition, there have been persistent data quality issues with EMIR since its inception
in 2014. While data quality has improved over the years as the requirements have been adjusted and with further guidance where required, there is scope to further amend requirements for both OTC and ETD derivatives to help improve overall data quality which, in turn, will enhance the way in which UK authorities can monitor the data for systemic risk purposes and effectively utilise this data set to support our statutory objectives. Other G20 jurisdictions are already considering changes to their derivatives reporting regimes, similar to the proposals set out in this consultation, to make such improvements, including to align with the CPMI-IOSCO technical guidance on the harmonisation of critical data elements for OTC derivatives (CDE guidance). Harm and drivers of harm
8. Without intervention, the existing issues with the consistency of derivative reporting
requirements across G20 jurisdictions will persist. This will continue to limit the ability of authorities, including the FCA, to effectively monitor the derivatives market on a global level. This would maintain the existing information asymmetry and lack of transparency in OTC derivatives markets, leading to potential harm through the potential for systemic risk to build-up without being identified (albeit that this risk is much reduced from pre-EMIR levels), which the G20 committed to prevent.
9. There are also issues with underlying data quality in the EMIR reporting data that can
impact UK authorities’ ability to monitor risks in the UK derivatives market. This could pose a risk to market integrity if UK authorities cannot effectively identify, and take timely action to combat, the build-up of systemic risk. Summary of our proposed interventions
10. We are consulting on three proposals, the key elements of which are summarised
below. See Chapter 3 for full details of the proposals.
Proposal 1:
a. We are proposing to amend the table of reportable fields in the relevant technical standards under UK EMIR, primarily so it aligns with international guidance issued by CPMI-IOSCO. This will ensure that UK authorities have access to a comprehensive derivatives data set so authorities in the G20 jurisdictions can monitor systemic risk in a globally consistent manner. We are also proposing specific changes to reportable fields to provide clarity to counterparties and TRs where there are existing uncertainties. b. We are proposing notifications and reconciliation processes for counterparties. These will help ensure that errors and omissions are notified to the appropriate regulator, and reconciliation breaks are resolved quickly, helping to maintain accurate and high-quality data.
c. We are proposing to introduce specific requirements for the mandatory delegated
reporting requirements under UK EMIR in the relevant technical standards. UK EMIR requires non-financial counterparties (NFCs) who benefit from mandatory delegated reporting when trading derivatives with a financial counterparty (FC) to provide information to the FC that the FC would not otherwise be expected to know. Our proposals set out the arrangements the FC should put in place for the timely provision of relevant information by the NFC. This is to ensure that FCs have the necessary information to meet the mandatory delegated reporting requirements. d. We are proposing that counterparties should use standardised XML schemas when submitting details of their derivatives trades to a TR. To ensure consistency of
CP21/31
Annex 2
Financial Conduct Authority | Bank of England Changes to reporting requirements, procedures for data quality and registration of Trade Repositories under UK EMIR reporting, the XML schemas will be based on the end-to-end reporting solutions in the ISO 20022 standards. e. We are proposing specific requirements for the use of global identifiers, including the use of Legal Entity Identifiers (LEIs), Unique Trade identifiers (UTI) and Unique Product Identifiers (UPIs). These proposals look to promote consistency among counterparties in how global identifiers are used, helping to improve overall data quality. Proposal 2

Annex 2
Financial Conduct Authority | Bank of England Changes to reporting requirements, procedures for data quality and registration of Trade Repositories under UK EMIR Baseline and key assumptions
13. The baseline assumption we have used in this CBA is that without our proposed
intervention the current fragmentation of derivatives reporting across G20 jurisdictions will persist as the UK’s derivative reporting framework will not be aligned with the derivatives reporting frameworks in other G20 jurisdictions who plan to harmonise their framework with the CDE guidance.
14. We also assume that data quality issues that arise from lack of clarity on what is to be
reported by counterparties, and the lack of standardised formats and methodology in how derivative trades are reported, will persist without intervention.
15. In addition, as authorities in other G20 jurisdictions, including the EU, implement
updated derivative reporting requirements to align with the CDE guidance, the UK would fall out of alignment with international standards absent any intervention. This would likely result in additional compliance costs over the long-term for multinational firms operating in the UK and other jurisdictions if they are required to comply with two separate reporting regimes. The benefits of harmonising the UK derivatives reporting regime with regimes in other G20 jurisdictions have not been quantified in this CBA but may be substantial.
16. We assume, based on our understanding from engagement with industry to date, that
many firms who have both UK and third country group entities leverage regulatory reporting operations and systems centrally. This is central to our expectation that aligning the UK’s derivatives reporting standards with the international guidance, and subsequently other G20 jurisdictions, would reduce the overall operational and cost burdens in the long term for groups who are subject to derivative reporting requirements in multiple jurisdictions.
17. With regard to implementation costs, cost estimates within this CBA reflect the
baseline assumption that the status quo is maintained (i.e. the current reporting regimes in the UK and other G20 jurisdictions remain unchanged). Given ESMA is planning to implement changes to the EU EMIR reporting regime (see ESMA Final Report) ahead of our proposals, we expect the costs described in this CBA to be lower (in particular for UK entities that are part of groups who have entities subject to both the EU and UK regimes) as many of the costs will have already been borne by those groups to implement ESMA’s proposals.
18. Feedback from industry supports this assumption, indicating that there are synergies
with the implementation of the proposals presented in this consultation and work already underway or likely required to implement ESMA’s proposed changes to the EU EMIR derivatives reporting regime. As stated in our CP, this was one of the drivers behind our aligning predominantly with the proposals in ESMA’s final report.
19. Feedback from industry indicates that any material divergence between our final
proposals and ESMA’s final proposals would increase implementation costs, in some cases materially, as a result of the need to implement and maintain dual reporting regimes. We welcome feedback on the extent of these potential cost implications and further information on the impacts of divergence between the UK’s final proposals and ESMA’s final proposals (or proposed changes to derivative reporting frameworks in other G20 jurisdictions).
CP21/31
Annex 2
Financial Conduct Authority | Bank of England Changes to reporting requirements, procedures for data quality and registration of Trade Repositories under UK EMIR Other key assumptions
20. For the purposes of this CBA, we surveyed a range of firms who would be impacted by
our proposals based on the UK EMIR data to which we have access. When analysing the survey responses, we also made the following key assumptions:
CP21/31
Annex 2
Financial Conduct Authority | Bank of England Changes to reporting requirements, procedures for data quality and registration of Trade Repositories under UK EMIR
Table 1: Estimated number of legal entities subject to UK EMIR derivative reporting
obligation
Type of entity Number of entities in this group Proposals that could impact entities in this group Group 1: Legal entities that generate reports under UK EMIR 2,664 Proposal 1A Proposal 1C Proposal 1D Proposal 1E Group 2: Legal entities that delegate reporting to their counterparty 9,406 Proposal 1C Total number of legal entities subject to UK EMIR reporting obligation 12,070
27. The proposed interventions will have different cost implications for each of these
groups. Although there are around 12,070 legal entities subject to EMIR’s reporting obligation, most of these entities delegate reporting to their counterparty (9,406).
28. We do not expect our proposals to have a material impact on the entities within
this group that delegate reporting voluntarily as they would not incur the costs of generating their own reports. Some of the 9,406 entities in this group may benefit from mandatory delegated reporting and similarly would not have to incur the costs of generating their own reports. However, they would be impacted by Proposal 1C. The most material impact is expected to fall on reporting generating entities (2,664). Group 1: Report generating entities
29. Proposals 1A, 1C, 1D and 1E are expected to have a material impact on the 2,664
entities that generate reports under UK EMIR. Impacts will vary depending on the size of the entity and the arrangements that they have in place for submitting reports or delegating reporting to a third-party. For example, what data the entity provides, how it is collated and how it is shared. Group 2: Legal entities that delegate reporting to their counterparty
30. As highlighted above, within this group of 9,406 entities that delegate reporting to
their counterparty, entities that voluntarily delegate their reporting are not expected to be materially impacted by the proposals discussed in this consultation. Entities that benefit from mandatory delegated reporting would be impacted by Proposal 1C. It is not possible for us to accurately estimate the number of entities out of the 9,406 that are impacted by Proposal 1C. We have therefore taken a conservative approach to estimating costs for this group and based our costs on the assumption that all 9,406 entities will be impacted by Proposal 1C. This assumption leads to a relatively high expected total cost for small/medium firms relating to Proposal 1C. If in practise, for example, only half of the 9,406 entities were impacted by Proposal 1C, the total one-off cost for industry for this proposal would be £34.3m lower when measured by average cost per firm and £16.8m lower when measured by median cost per firm. All entities subject to UK EMIR reporting obligation
31. The only proposal applicable to all entities subject to the UK EMIR reporting obligation
is Proposal 1B relating to the process for counterparties to notify the relevant UK authority of any errors or omissions in their UK EMIR reporting and counterparties
CP21/31
Annex 2
Financial Conduct Authority | Bank of England Changes to reporting requirements, procedures for data quality and registration of Trade Repositories under UK EMIR ensuring they have arrangements in place for the timely remediations of any reconciliations breaks.
32. We already have a process for receiving notifications from counterparties relating to
their errors and omissions. Since 2018, A template form has been available on the UK EMIR reporting webpage and is used consistently by all firms. Similarly, firms will already have arrangements in place to remediate any reconciliation breaks. Proposal 1B is hard coding these existing process into UK legislation. We have not included this proposal in
Table 1 above as it is not expected to have a material impact on entities subject to the
UK EMIR reporting obligation.
33. For the purposes of estimating costs in this CBA we have assumed that the total
number of entities subject to UK EMIR reporting obligation, 12,070, will incur only small familiarisation costs relating to Proposal 1B. These are estimated using the FCA’s standardised cost model. Trade Repositories
34. In addition to the different groups of entities subject to the UK EMIR reporting
obligation discussed above, TRs registered by the FCA under UK EMIR will be impacted by Proposals 2 and 3. There are currently 4 TRs registered under UK EMIR. Data
35. The estimated costs and benefits of our proposals are based largely on a survey of
affected market participants that was undertaken in September/October 2021. We surveyed a sample of 111 report generating market participants and 4 UK TRs. Survey respondents were not asked for costs estimates on policy proposal 1B as at the time the data request was sent to firms this policy proposal had not been finalised. As a result, we do not have survey data on this proposal. Costs estimations for Proposal 1B are based on assumptions of the FCA’s standardised cost model.
36. The sample of firms included in the survey was selected based on a provisional
estimate of affected market participant size that was calculated using the number of outstanding reports submitted under UK EMIR. This estimate of size was used to group the population of affected market participants into small, medium, and large categories. We drew randomised samples from each of the large, medium and small categories and sent these firms the survey.
37. The response rate was low in terms of quantitative data provided on the expected
costs associated with the proposals discussed in this CP. We received 33 responses out of the 111 firms surveyed, but out of the 33 responses to the survey, only 21 (5 large, 13 small/medium and 3 TRs) provided quantitative estimates of expected cost for at least one of the proposals. Very few respondents provided quantitative responses to every section. As result, there is a large amount of uncertainty around cost estimates.
38. As we received a limited number of survey responses, it was not feasible to categorise
survey respondents into the three size categories of small, medium and large, which is the most common approach. After analysing the survey responses, as well as other measures of firm size and considering our own market intelligence, we decided to group report generating entities into two broad categories: large; and, small/medium. Entities were grouped into the large or small/medium bucket based primarily on
CP21/31
Annex 2
Financial Conduct Authority | Bank of England Changes to reporting requirements, procedures for data quality and registration of Trade Repositories under UK EMIR report count but we also made some manual adjustments to account for Globally Systemically Important Banks and contract for differences (CFD) trading firms. These manual adjustments and further information on the survey, size categories and methodology are included in the technical appendix.
39. Additional to the low response rate, our CBA estimates are subject to several
uncertainties. Firms may have found it difficult when responding to our cost survey to envisage costs of operating and implementing the proposed policy framework without having sight of the final policy, potentially leading to the over- or understatement of the costs of different elements. A small sample size in subgroups also reduces the reliability of conclusions that can be drawn from the data.
40. There are issues with the statistical significance when collecting data from a small
number of firms to reflect a large and diverse population. We have divided the responses into firm’s sizes groups to make the sample as representative as possible for the firms in scope of the proposed policy. Larger firms tend to be more likely to respond to surveys than smaller firms (proportionally). This tendency will also be the case within each size category, for example, ‘larger’ medium firms are more likely to respond than smaller firms. This will likely bias the results of the survey upwards in terms of expected costs.
41. Given the limitations as detailed, we plan to engage with market participants and
industry bodies following publication of our consultation paper and ahead of our final policy statement being published. In doing so our aim is to gather feedback on the cost estimates detailed within this CBA and the methodology used to calculate them. Costs and benefits
42. In this section, we have assessed the benefits and one-off and ongoing (annual) costs
arising from the proposals. They reflect the incremental changes that firms and the FCA must make when compared with the baseline of the absence of the proposed intervention. Summary of costs and benefits
43. Based on the estimated costs and qualitative benefits set out in this section, we
believe the benefits of the proposals discussed in this consultation will outweigh the estimated costs. The costs presented in this CBA are not net costs that take into account expected benefits such as the potential cost savings resulting from synergies with changes that authorities are making to their own derivative reporting regimes in other jurisdictions.
44. We acknowledge that the implementation cost to firms, largely resulting from
Proposal 1A, will be material. However, harmonising international reporting standards and improving UK EMIR data quality will deliver long-term benefits in the form of protecting and enhancing the integrity of UK markets. It will achieve this by ensuring an enhanced UK derivatives data set that provides increased transparency for UK authorities for systemic risk monitoring purposes, helping to mitigate the operational and counterparty credit risks associated with the derivatives market. This will benefit consumers and wholesale market participants by supporting market confidence and participation.
CP21/31
Annex 2
Financial Conduct Authority | Bank of England Changes to reporting requirements, procedures for data quality and registration of Trade Repositories under UK EMIR
45. The economic collapse that occurred when Lehman Brothers defaulted during
the 2008 global financial crisis had an unprecedented systemic impact on financial markets1 . Increased transparency, with a comprehensive derivatives data set, is one of the key tools for authorities to help prevent another financial crisis having the same detrimental impact on financial markets.
46. Our proposals are the next step in ensuring that authorities are not only better placed
to monitor the UK derivatives market but also better monitor, alongside other G20 jurisdictions, the interconnectedness of cross border derivatives trading.
47. Total estimated costs and benefits relating to the proposals are set out in tables 2 and
3 below. All figures are presented in GBP.
48. Due to data limitations and the heterogeneity of firm responses, we present two sets
of total estimated costs for the industry by proposal; the first is based on average (mean) cost per firm. This is calculated by multiplying for each proposal the average (mean) cost for large and small/medium firms (detailed in the following sections) by the total number of large and small/medium firms in the population, respectively. The second set of total estimated costs by proposal is based on median costs per firm. This is calculated by multiplying for each proposal the median costs per firm for large and small/medium firms (detailed in the following sections) by the total number of firms in the population, respectively. Therefore, we are assuming all firms in each size category incur the median cost2 .
49. It is not our usual methodological approach to present median costs alongside
average (mean) costs, but in the absence of a fuller sample of costs we cannot at this stage determine whether or not the larger costs provided by some firms are outliers. We have therefore used the median approach, as well as the usual average (mean) approach, to illustrate the uncertainty despite its methodological disadvantages. Due to the limited number of survey responses, cost estimates have a degree of uncertainty. Also, the submissions we received show a large degree of heterogeneity of costs even within each of the size brackets we have considered. Given the distribution of reported costs by firms, most of the costs derived from medians are lower than the estimated average costs. This highlights the fact that the distribution of reported costs generally includes many lower values and a few significantly higher values within each size category, which pulls up the average cost.
50. In contrast, when we have an extremely low response rate from one size category
for a specific proposal and most respondents report zero costs, the median is zero even if a couple of firms have reported higher costs. The limited number of survey responses and the heterogeneity on reported costs for some proposals is evident in the differences between medians and average costs.
51. The limited number of responses and the wide variation in these responses also
makes it especially difficult to estimate the overall expected cost that our proposals will impose on industry, and results in greater uncertainty over the total costs we have reported. 1 ESMA estimated, in Annex 7 of their EMIR Impact Assessment (2010), the economic cost of the financial crisis and the share of the cost that can be attributed to OTC derivatives. ESMA estimated the economic impact of OTC derivative on the financial crisis to be around €10 billion. 2 The total cost estimates based on medians should not be interpreted as the median total costs; we were unable to estimate these with our data. The estimates based on medians are proxies of total costs assuming all firms incur the median cost per firm.

Costs
52. The main categories of compliance costs that could arise from firms’ implementation
of the proposals are:
CP21/31
Annex 2
Financial Conduct Authority | Bank of England Changes to reporting requirements, procedures for data quality and registration of Trade Repositories under UK EMIR
55. The limited number of responses and quantitative data meant that it was not feasible
to separate out these compliance costs by the categories described above. In addition, not every survey respondent provided cost estimates for each category of compliance cost.
56. Overall, respondents indicated that Proposal 1A, changes to reporting standards to
align with the CDE guidance, would lead to the most significant implementation costs.
57. Furthermore, as stated in our CP, many G20 jurisdictions (such as the US, Australia
and Hong Kong) are in the process of implementing similar proposals to those in Proposal 1A to align their respective derivatives reporting framework with the CDE guidance. UK entities who are part of multi-national groups with group entities subject to the derivatives reporting regimes in those jurisdictions may benefit from lower implementation costs.
58. This feedback supports our underlying assumption that divergence from the EU, and
other G20 jurisdictions following the CDE guidance, would lead to increased costs for reporting entities and TRs.
59. One respondent suggested that costs could arise if new agreements were required to
be made between reporting counterparties and counterparties delegating reporting. However, the majority of respondents did not expect the proposals to lead to an increase in the fees/prices charged for delegated reporting. One-off implementation costs
60. We estimate one-off costs based on assumptions on the number of person days
required to implement the changes based on survey responses. In the survey, firms were asked to provide cost estimates and information on the firm employee time (FTE), blended average daily employee cost and other non-employee costs used to calculate total costs per proposal.5 Estimates are converted into a monetary value by multiplying FTE by the blended average employee costs and then adding nonemployee costs. Some respondents did not provide a detailed breakdown of costs by FTE time required. In cases where firms only provided total costs estimates per proposal and no information on FTE time required, this was included in the analysis. Ongoing implementation costs
61. In addition to the one-off costs, there will be ongoing costs relating to the
implementation of our proposals. Ongoing costs were defined for the purposes of the survey as costs per year associated with maintaining systems that have been put in place to implement the proposals.
62. The calculations for ongoing implementation costs followed the same methodology as
one-off costs, firms were asked to provide FTE, blended average employee costs and non-employee costs to calculate the monetary value for implementing the changes. 5 Firm employee time is the number of days of employee and / or contractor labour time based on a 7-hour working day (also called Full Time Equivalent or FTE). Blended daily employee cost is the average salary or daily cost rate (based on a 7-hour working day) of employees and / or contractors. This should be calculated as the average (mean) of salaries / cost rates of each employee / contractor type weighted by the firm employee time (number of days) that type of employee / contractor is allocated. Non-employee costs are costs incurred which are not part of the cost of employee time. For instance, this may include software licences or IT hardware.
CP21/31
Annex 2
Financial Conduct Authority | Bank of England Changes to reporting requirements, procedures for data quality and registration of Trade Repositories under UK EMIR Where this detailed breakdown was not provided, and firms only provided total costs estimates per proposal and no information on FTE time required, this was included in the analysis.
63. A detailed breakdown of one-off and ongoing costs for each proposal is provided
below.
Cost to firms per proposal
Proposal 1A – amendments to UK EMIR reporting standards
64. The survey separated questions relating to Proposal 1A into two parts: submitting
reports and delegating reporting to a third-party. This allowed respondents to separate their cost estimates for different types of activities that they may undertake relating to EMIR’s derivatives reporting requirements.
65. The main costs associated with Proposal 1A for both types of reporting activity are
expected to result from IT development costs to accommodate the new standards. In addition, respondents expected costs to result from training, communications and governance required to implement the proposals. Proposal 1A - amendments to UK EMIR reporting standards (submitting reports to a TR)
66. These estimated one-off average and median costs per firm are presented in Table 4,
in relation to the activity of submitting reports to a TR.
Table 4: One-off costs associated with implementing proposal 1A for entities that
submit reports to a TR, for an individual firm, by firm size Size of firm Average one-off cost per firm Median one-off cost per firm Small/Medium Large £0.142m £0.062m £3.0m £2.9m
67. Ongoing costs are expected to be material for inbound customer engagement,
which is expected to involve on-boarding and the establishment of new processes for continued reporting. One respondent also suggested that new client communications would be needed to help ensure data provided by counterparties is accurate and complete in line with the proposed changes.
68. IT development costs are expected to be relatively high for large firms especially.
Respondents indicated that this was due to required development and testing of updates and fixes.
69. As previously flagged, several respondents indicated that ongoing costs relating
to Proposal 1A would increase significantly if UK EMIR diverged materially from EU EMIR and the proposals ESMA published in its December 2020 final report. This is expected to be due to the need to maintain dual reporting regimes, which would require two separate systems, additional training for employees, two sets of external communications and additional internal processes.
70. The estimated annual ongoing average and median costs per firm are presented in
Table 5, in relation to the activity of submitting reports to a TR.

71. Costs relating to Proposal 1A are expected to be significantly lower for entities that delegate
reporting to a third-party compared to entities that submit reports to a TR, albeit still mainly relating to IT development costs.
72. Responses indicated that large entities generally do not expect any costs to be incurred
relating to this type of reporting activity. One large respondent indicated that no additional IT system changes would be required to continue offering delegated reporting under the proposed changes. A number of small/medium respondents indicated that they do not expect any costs to result from implementing this proposal because they already have arrangements in place to delegate reporting to a third party and do not expect any changes to the current fees relating to these services.
73. The estimated one-off average and median costs per firm are presented in Table 6.

delegate reporting to a third-party, for an individual firm, by firm size Size of firm Average one-off cost per firm Median one-off cost per firm Small/Medium Large £0.005m £0.004 £0.34m £0
74. For large firms that delegate reporting to a third-party, ongoing costs are expected to be
concentrated in IT development costs. Ongoing costs for small/medium firms are expected to result primarily from ‘other costs’, however, no additional information was provided on the drivers of these costs. The estimated average and median ongoing costs per firm are presented in Table 7.
Table 7: Ongoing costs associated with implementing proposal 1A for entities that

75. There will be a one-off implementation costs from proposal 1B for all counterparties
subject to the EMIR reporting obligation. Familiarisation and legal costs are estimated based on assumptions of the standardised cost model. The standardised cost model (SCM) categorises all regulated firms as large, medium or small using data from annual FCA fee blocks. We assume that the 53 large firms based on outstanding trades are also classified as large under the SCM. In addition, we have taken a conservative approach and assumed the maximum number of 1750 firms classified as medium under the SCM are
CP21/31
Annex 2
Financial Conduct Authority | Bank of England Changes to reporting requirements, procedures for data quality and registration of Trade Repositories under UK EMIR within our population. The remaining 10,267 firms are classified as small under this approach.
76. We expect market participants to read and familiarise themselves with the
requirements for proposal 1B. Following familiarisation with the proposals put forward, we expect market participants to conduct a legal review of the proposals and a gap analysis to check their current practices against expectations.
77. We estimate the familiarisation costs for market participants based on assumptions
on the time required to read the approximately 5 relevant consultation pages excluding the legal instruments. We assume 300 words per page and a reading speed of 100 words per minute and estimate that it would take around 2.70 hours to read the document.
78. We convert this into a monetary value by applying an estimate of the cost of time
to market participants, based on the Willis Towers Watson 2016 Financial Services Report, adjusted for subsequent annual wage inflation and including 30% overheads. We estimate the legal costs for market participants based on assumptions on the time required to read the 3 pages-long legal instruments. We convert this into a monetary value by applying an estimate of the cost of time to firms as described above.
79. Total familiarisation and legal costs per firm by participant size are set out in table 8.
The average for the joint small/medium category is the weighted average based on the number of firms mapped as small and medium in the SCM model outlined above.
Table 8: One-off familiarisation and legal costs associated with implementing
Proposal 1B, for an individual firm, by firm size (based on SCM) Cost category Average cost per firm Small/Medium Large £75 £763 Proposals 1C mandatory delegated reporting, 1D standardised use of XML schemas and 1E use of global identifiers
80. Based on the responses received, one-off costs are generally expected to be lower for
Proposals 1C, 1D and 1E than Proposal 1A, albeit still material.
81. The main driver of one-off costs for Proposals 1C, 1D and 1E is expected to be IT
development costs.
82. Proposal 1C would not impact all counterparties because it only relates to mandatory
delegated reporting. Where entities did expect to be impacted by Proposal 1C, a small number of respondents suggested that there could be additional one-off costs if there was a need for new agreements to be negotiated and put in place with all NFC-6 mandatory reporting clients, which would be lengthy and costly. This is not required under the proposal.
83. Regarding Proposal 1D, a small number of respondents highlighted the synergies
between implementing this proposal and related work already underway to adopt ISO 20022 common XML schema in other reporting processes, for example EU EMIR 6 A non-financial counterparty whose average aggregate notional amount of OTC derivatives trading, on a group basis, is below the clearing threshold.

UTIs and UPIs and as such do not expect a significant impact to result from this Proposal 1E.

87. The majority of small/medium firms expect no or minimal ongoing costs associated
with Proposal 1C (standardised use of XML schemas). Large firms expect the highest ongoing costs to result from Proposal 1E (use of global identifiers). Proposals 2 and 3 – registration process and new requirements for TRs
88. Proposals 2 and 3 are only applicable to TRs (of which there are currently 4 FCAregistered TRs under UK EMIR). As a result, we have not divided these entities into
small/medium or large entities. We have assumed they fall within the same size category for the purposes of implementing these proposals.
89. Respondents expect the highest costs associated with Proposals 2 and 3 to result
from IT development.
90. The average and median one-off costs per firm are presented in Table 15.

The average and median ongoing costs per firm are presented in Table 16.

TRs £0.102m £0.039m
Costs to the FCA
92. There are also costs to the FCA for implementing Proposals 1A, 1D and 1E. The most
significant costs are in relation to one-off implementation costs for Proposal 1A where we will be required to update our internal system to systematically ingest derivatives reports directly from TRs based on the new requirements. Costs also include resource that may be required to create and publish the updated XML schemas under UK EMIR in Proposal 1D.
93. We estimate the one-off implementation costs of these proposals to be in the region
of £0.75m to 1m. These are preliminary estimates and subject to change pending final requirements.
94. We do not anticipate any additional costs in relation to Proposal 1B as we already have
an established process in place to receive notifications from entities relating to the errors and omissions in their UK EMIR reporting. We do not anticipate any change to this process except to update the form to reflect the updated requirements in Proposal 1A.
CP21/31
Annex 2
Financial Conduct Authority | Bank of England Changes to reporting requirements, procedures for data quality and registration of Trade Repositories under UK EMIR Implementation period
95. The survey included a question on the proposed implementation period and the
impact of applying a longer (24 month) and shorter (12 month) implementation period.
96. Across all the proposals, the vast majority of respondents indicated that 24 months
instead of 18 months would have no material impact on implementation costs. A few respondents suggested this could reduce costs slightly due to efficiencies and less resourcing pressure. The majority of respondents suggested that a shorter implementation period of 12 months would lead to an increase in costs, due mostly to higher resourcing pressure, in some cases by a significant proportion (up to 50%).
97. On the basis of the above, we propose to provide an 18-month implementation period.
Benefits
98. It was not considered possible to quantify the benefits of our intervention given their
nature. The survey did not contain any explicit questions on benefits and respondents did not provide any quantitative data on expected benefits associated with the proposals discussed in this consultation. We believe it is not reasonably practicable to estimate the quantitative benefits identified here. A qualitative analysis of benefits is therefore provided below. Market integrity, consumer protection and market resiliency benefits
99. The main objective of the derivatives reporting framework under UK EMIR is to
increase transparency of the derivatives market, improving the ability of authorities to monitor systemic and financial stability risks. This is part of a global response to address the systemic risks associated with the cross-border derivatives trading post the 2008 financial crisis. We have used the UK EMIR data in this way since its implementation (as part of the EU regime) in February 2014.
100. Our intervention, as detailed in our consultation paper, has two main objectives: (i)
to harmonise the UK derivatives reporting framework with international reporting standards; and (ii) targeted amendments for both reporting counterparties and TRs to improve data quality. As a result, our proposals will further support and enhance our ability to meet the objectives of the original G20 recommendations, benefitting both market participants and authorities.
101. The direct benefits of our proposed changes to the UK EMIR reporting requirements
will also lead to improvements in quality and accuracy of the data, allowing for better use and analysis by the FCA (and other UK authorities). This will allow the FCA to better fulfil its statutory objective of protecting and enhancing the integrity of UK financial markets and supervising firms in a more data-led way. There will also be an indirect benefit to consumers (and firms) as enhanced transparency for regulators will in turn help to ensure an orderly and resilient derivatives market. Harmonisation with international reporting standards
102. The benefits of aligning the UK derivatives reporting framework with international
reporting standards is two-fold. Firstly, it will benefit UK firms, particularly those who are part of multinational groups with entities subject to derivative reporting
CP21/31
Annex 2
Financial Conduct Authority | Bank of England Changes to reporting requirements, procedures for data quality and registration of Trade Repositories under UK EMIR requirements in other G20 jurisdictions. Those groups will be able to leverage costs associated with their regulatory reporting systems. Secondly, alignment will benefit authorities, enhancing the ability for systemic and financial stability risks to be monitored in a globally consistent manner.
103. We welcome feedback on the extent of the potential cost savings that would be
realised as a result of harmonising the UK derivatives reporting framework with international reporting standards and frameworks in other G20 jurisdictions, including the EU.
104. This is supported by survey responses, which stated that divergence between UK and
EU proposals would likely have a material impact on the work required to implement changes and ongoing costs of complying with dual reporting regimes. One respondent suggested any material divergence between the final UK proposals and ESMA’s final proposals could increase implementation costs associated with Proposal 1A by up to 50%.
105. Respondents suggested that divergence would necessitate the development and
maintenance of two separate sets of systems, additional training for the separate regimes, additional external communications and increase the risk of reporting errors.
106. Implementing the proposals discussed in this consultation will therefore help to
maintain alignment between the UK’s derivative reporting framework and similar reporting regimes in other jurisdictions, including the EU. This will deliver benefits over the long-term by avoiding any unnecessary operational or cost burdens that would be borne by firms from having to comply with dual reporting regimes. Improving Data Quality
107. The proposed changes also aim to improve overall data quality by providing clarity to
reporting counterparties under the UK EMIR reporting framework where there are current discrepancies in what needs to be reported. Our proposals will reduce the compliance costs that result from these discrepancies for reporting firms.
108. The additional data fields will provide a level of granularity to ensure clarity for reporting
counterparties on the information to be populated in each reportable field. This will benefit reporting counterparties in the long-term by reducing the current resource required to determine the data to be reported. It will also reduce the current resource required to remedy any errors in reporting as a result.
109. One respondent highlighted that standardised XML schema would also lead to
long-term benefits resulting from consistency of report submissions. In addition, mandating the use of a defined set of global identifiers would provide consistency and harmonisation of derivatives reporting for both reporting counterparties and UK authorities which will enhance authorities’ ability to monitor systemic and financial stability risks associated with cross-border derivatives trading.
110. The proposed changes to trade data reconciliation between TRs would help minimise
inconsistent practices across TRs and resource and time spent resolving reporting errors that are in fact reported correctly.
CP21/31
Annex 2
Financial Conduct Authority | Bank of England Changes to reporting requirements, procedures for data quality and registration of Trade Repositories under UK EMIR Technical Appendix – Survey to market participants
111. The estimated costs and benefits of our proposals are based largely on a survey of
affected market participants that was undertaken in September/October 2021. We surveyed a sample of 111 report generating market participants and 4 UK TRs.
112. The sample of firms included in the survey was based on provisional estimates of size
using outstanding reports to group firms into small, medium, and large categories. We drew randomised samples from each of the large, medium and small firm populations. Estimated response rates to the survey for each category of firm was also considered and a larger number of smaller firms were surveyed because they typically have lower response rates.
113. Firms were asked a question on the number of full-time staff that they employ to
sense check these size assumptions. The size methodology was revised following analysis of the survey responses and further internal analysis. Detail on revised size assumptions is presented in the ‘Size methodology’ section below.
114. The survey was distributed in the form of a voluntary data request, seeking feedback
on the expected costs for firms to implement the proposed changes to the UK EMIR reporting regime and requirements for TRs discussed in this consultation. Respondents were asked to provide information on a best effort basis using high-level descriptions of the proposals.
115. The survey was split into six sections that broadly link to the proposals discussed in this
consultation:
CP21/31
Annex 2
Financial Conduct Authority | Bank of England Changes to reporting requirements, procedures for data quality and registration of Trade Repositories under UK EMIR
119. The survey also included a question on the proposed implementation period and the
impact of applying a longer (24 month) and shorter (12 month) implementation period. Survey responses
120. The response rate was low in terms of quantitative data provided on the expected
costs associated with the proposals discussed in this CP. We received 33 responses out of the 111 firms surveyed – a response rate of 30%. Out of the 33 responses to the survey, only 22 provided quantitative estimates of expected cost for at least one of the proposals and very few respondents provided quantitative responses to every section. As a result, there is a large amount of uncertainty around the cost estimates. The limited number of survey responses has also necessitated the application of various assumptions to the methodology.
121. A summary of quantitative survey responses for section 1A to 4 of the survey are
presented in table 1 below. This does not include section 5 which relates to proposals for TRs. There are 4 TRs in the UK and all 4 responded to the survey.

122. Many respondents indicated that it would be difficult to accurately separate expected
costs and impacts for each individual proposal. These respondents generally provided feedback on Proposal 1A only and indicated that the information provided should be considered as expected costs for implementing all relevant proposals or that they only expect costs to arise from Proposal 1A.
123. Several respondents flagged that the information provided should be considered as
high-level estimates based on the information provided in the survey background, and that costs could change depending on the final requirements. One respondent also highlighted that it has a significant number of entities that are subject to the UK EMIR reporting requirements which will make implementation of the proposals, to be undertaken at an organisational level, complex. The respondent expects significant work would be required to assess the impact of the proposals at an individual entity level and relating to a diverse range of asset classes which are captured across its entities.
124. A small number of respondents indicated that EMIR reporting is delegated to their
counterparties and therefore expect no cost impact as a result of the proposed changes. Where respondents indicated in the comment box that they do not expect any costs to result from a proposal, either because they delegate reporting to their counterparty or another reason, this was interpreted as a £0 expected cost for that proposal and included in the cost calculations presented in this CBA.
125. Based on the survey responses, we have produced quantitative cost estimates for
the one-off and ongoing costs that market participants expect to be incurred when implementing our proposals. Respondents to the survey also indicated potential benefits associated with the proposals. These would be challenging to quantify but have been included in this assessment as qualitative benefits, for example, resulting from harmonised international derivative reporting standards.
CP21/31
Annex 2
Financial Conduct Authority | Bank of England Changes to reporting requirements, procedures for data quality and registration of Trade Repositories under UK EMIR Size methodology
126. We received a limited number of survey responses. As a result, it was not feasible to
categorise survey respondents into the three size categories of small, medium and large, which is the most common approach.
127. After analysing the survey responses, as well as other measures of firm size and
considering our own market intelligence, we decided to group reporting entities into two broad categories: large; and, small/medium. Entities were grouped into the large or small/medium bucket based primarily on report count but we also made some manual adjustments to account for Globally Systemically Important Banks and CFD trading firms. These manual adjustments are discussed further below.
128. As a result of this approach, impacts, such as average costs, are estimated at an entity
level. Firms with multiple entities captured by the UK EMIR reporting obligation may incur costs at an organisational level or an entity level, depending on their individual reporting systems and processes and their approach to implementation. This is an additional nuance not captured in our approach to calculating costs. It provides another reason for being conservative in our estimates. Outstanding reported trades thresholds
129. For the purposes of this analysis, entities were first grouped into the large or small/
medium category based on each entity’s volume of outstanding reported trades as of October 2021. We applied the following thresholds to categorise entities by size:
CP21/31
Annex 2
Financial Conduct Authority | Bank of England Changes to reporting requirements, procedures for data quality and registration of Trade Repositories under UK EMIR Size categorisations for Proposal 1A
132. For the purposes of Proposal 1A, it was necessary to split the report generating group
into two sub-groups based on the type of reporting activity undertaken: (i) report submitting entities; and, (ii) entities that delegate their reporting to a third party. This was necessary because the impact of this proposal will be different for each type reporting activity.
133. To accurately estimate the costs for implementing Proposal 1A, we have applied the
same thresholds based on number of reported trades to each sub-group to identify the number of small/medium and large entities in each group and listed the estimated costs for both. It should be noted that entities can undertake both types of reporting activity and would therefore appear in both group (i) and (ii).
134. The total number of entities that undertake each type of reporting activity is detailed
below.
Entities that submit reports to a TR
Large 51
Small/medium 1,568
Entities that delegate reporting to a third-party Large 23 Small/medium 1,331
135. For the purposes of calculating the number of entities that delegate reporting to a
third-party (2 above), 13 major third-party reporting service providers (RSPs) were identified and the number of entities that delegate reporting to a third-party was calculated based on these 13 RSPs only. The table does not account for entities who may delegate their reporting to a third-party provider not captured in the 13 RSPs that we have identified as part of this analysis.
136. The sum of entities that submit reports to a TR and entities that delegate reporting
to a third-party (2,973) is greater than the total number of report generating entities (2,664). This is because entities can both submit reports to a TR and delegate to a third-party. Where this is the case, entities would be included in both figures. There are 309 entities that are included in both figures. Size categorisation for Proposals 2 and 3 (Trade Repositories)
137. Proposals 2 and 3 are only relevant for prospective TRs and TRs registered under UK
EMIR. There are only 4 TRs in the UK. For the purposes of this analysis these 4 TRs were treated as one group and not split into size categories.

Compliance with legal requirements
CP21/31
Annex 3
Financial Conduct Authority | Bank of England Changes to reporting requirements, procedures for data quality and registration of Trade Repositories under UK EMIR The FCA’s objectives and regulatory principles: Compatibility statement
7. The proposals set out in this consultation are primarily intended to advance the FCA’s
operational objective of market integrity. The proposals outlined in this consultation will help improve the quality of data available to the FCA for monitoring systemic risk in the derivatives market, allowing the FCA to better support the soundness, stability and resilience of derivatives markets in the UK and their orderly operation.
8. The FCA considers these proposals are compatible with the FCA’s strategic
objective of ensuring that the relevant markets function well. The UK EMIR reporting requirements exist to increase transparency in the derivatives market and allow G20 authorities to monitor systemic risk at the global level. The proposals contained in this consultation will harmonise the framework for reporting under UK EMIR with international guidance, allowing for better aggregation of data and monitoring of risk at the global level. The proposals will also improve the UK EMIR data quality, allowing for better use and analysis by UK authorities and helping to support the FCA’s objective of protecting and enhancing market integrity. For the purposes of the FCA’s strategic objective, ‘relevant markets’ are defined by s. 1F FSMA.
9. In preparing the proposals set out in this consultation, the FCA has had regard to the
regulatory principles set out in s. 3B FSMA.
The need to use our resources in the most efficient and economic way
10. These proposals are consistent with this principle as they would help improve data
quality in the UK EMIR data set, allowing for more efficient use and analysis of the data by the FCA. These proposals would also improve the clarity the relevant UK EMIR requirements for reporting firms and Trade Repositories, which should help to reduce reporting errors and time required by the FCA to review and address reporting breaches. The principle that a burden or restriction should be proportionate to the benefits
11. The costs and benefits of these proposals are set out in the Cost Benefit Analysis in
Annex 2. The FCA considers that the benefits of these proposals outweigh the costs.
The desirability of sustainable growth in the economy of the United Kingdom in the medium or long term
12. These proposals are consistent with this principle as they would help UK authorities
monitor and, where necessary, take action to address the build-up of systemic risk, helping to protect UK market integrity, financial stability and economic growth. The general principle that consumers should take responsibility for their decisions
13. These proposals are consistent with this principle.
The responsibilities of senior management
14. The FCA considers that these proposals do not undermine the responsibilities of
senior management.
CP21/31
Annex 3
Financial Conduct Authority | Bank of England Changes to reporting requirements, procedures for data quality and registration of Trade Repositories under UK EMIR The desirability of recognising differences in the nature of, and objectives of, businesses carried on by different persons including mutual societies and other kinds of business organisation
15. This principle is not relevant to these proposals.
The desirability of publishing information relating to persons subject to requirements imposed under FSMA, or requiring them to publish information
16. This principle is not relevant to these proposals.
The principle that we should exercise of our functions as transparently as possible
17. These proposals are consistent with this principle.
18. The FCA does not consider these proposals as being relevant to the need for the FCA
to have regard to the importance of taking action intended to minimise the extent to which it is possible for a business carried on (i) by an authorised person or a recognised investment exchange; or (ii) in contravention of the general prohibition, to be used for a purpose connected with financial crime (as required by s. 1B(5)(b) FSMA). Expected effect on mutual societies
19. The FCA does not expect the proposals in this paper to have a significantly different
impact on mutual societies.
Treasury recommendations about economic policy
20. The FCA has also considered the most recent recommendations from the Treasury
on aspects of the economic policy of the Government, which it should have regard to when acting to advance its objectives and meet its duties (s. 1JA FSMA).
21. The FCA consider that these proposals are consistent with these recommendations
and particularly relevant to its policy of supporting growth.
Compatibility with the duty to promote effective competition in the interests of consumers
22. In preparing the proposals as set out in this consultation, we have had regard to the
FCA’s duty to promote effective competition in the interests of consumers. Equality and diversity
23. We are required under the Equality Act 2010 in exercising our functions to ‘have
due regard’ to the need to eliminate discrimination, harassment, victimisation and
CP21/31
Annex 3
Financial Conduct Authority | Bank of England Changes to reporting requirements, procedures for data quality and registration of Trade Repositories under UK EMIR any other conduct prohibited by or under the Act, advance equality of opportunity between persons who share a relevant protected characteristic and those who do not, to and foster good relations between people who share a protected characteristic and those who do not.
24. As part of this, we ensure the equality and diversity implications of any new policy
proposals are considered. The outcome of our consideration in relation to these matters in this case is stated in paragraph 2.27 – 2.29 of this CP. Legislative and Regulatory Reform Act 2006 (LRRA)
25. We have had regard to the principles in the LRRA for the parts of the proposals that
consist of general policies, principles or guidance (namely the guidance provisions at the start of the new EMIRR sourcebook which explain the scope and purpose of the new rules). We consider that these parts of the proposals have had regard to the five LRRA principles – that regulatory activities should be carried out in a way which is transparent, accountable, proportionate, consistent and targeted only at cases in which action is needed.
26. We have also had regard to the Regulators’ Code for the parts of the proposals that
consist of general policies, principles or guidance and consider that the guidance being proposed is intended to support the clarity and interpretation of the proposed new rules.

Annex 4
Bank of England statutory objectives
The Bank is consulting on proposal 1: amendments to the framework for derivatives reporting. The Bank proposes to exercise its power under section 138P FSMA, to make technical standards in accordance with Articles 9(5) and (6) UK EMIR. Pursuant to Article 9(5) UK EMIR the Bank may make technical standards for CCPs specifying the details and type of the reports referred to in paragraphs 1 and 3 of for the different classes of derivatives. The reports referred to in paragraphs 1 and 3 shall specify at least: (a) the parties to the derivative contract and, where different, the beneficiary of the rights and obligations arising from it; (b) the main characteristics of the derivative contracts, including their type, underlying maturity, notional value, price, and settlement date. Pursuant to Article 9(6) UK EMIR the Bank may make technical standards for CCPs specifying: (a) the data standards and formats for the information to be reported, which shall include at least the following: (i) global legal entity identifiers (LEIs); (ii) international securities identification numbers (ISINs); (iii) unique trade identifiers (UTIs); (b) the methods and arrangements for reporting; (c) the frequency of the reports; (d) the date by which derivative contracts are to be reported. Pursuant to Section 138P(2)(b) FSMA the Bank’s power to make technical standards includes the power to modify, amend or revoke any EU tertiary legislation made by an EU entity under the original EU power which forms part of retained EU law. BTS 1247/2012 and 148/2013 constitutes EU tertiary legislation for this purpose. The Bank may make a standards instrument if it has been approved by HM Treasury. Before submitting a standards instrument to HM Treasury for approval, the Bank is required to publish a draft of the proposed technical standards accompanied by:

Financial Conduct Authority | Bank of England Changes to reporting requirements, procedures for data quality and registration of Trade Repositories under UK EMIR Cost Benefit Analysis This section sets out an analysis of the costs and benefits of introducing the changes proposed in this CP. The Bank has not included quantitative estimates for the proposals in this analysis given the small number of institutions affected by the Bank’s changes. Affected firms and markets Proposal 1 in this CP is relevant to UK CCPs when reporting any derivative contract under EMIR. Benefits The Bank of England envisages that there will be a multitude of benefits from implementing Proposal 1 for the Bank and for UK CCPs, summarised below.
CP21/31
Chapter 1
Financial Conduct Authority | Bank of England Changes to reporting requirements, procedures for data quality and registration of Trade Repositories under UK EMIR contributed to the severity of the crisis and became a focus of regulatory reform. In response, G20 initiated a programme in 2009 to improve transparency and reduce the systemic risk posed by OTC derivatives transactions, markets and practices. One of the key elements of the reforms was the introduction of mandatory reporting of OTC derivatives contracts to authorities. The Bank considers that Proposal 1 in this CP advances its objective to protect and enhance the stability of the financial system of the United Kingdom. The policy objective of the changes to the reporting technical standards is to reduce systemic risk by increasing the clarity and transparency of the OTC derivative markets through improvements to data quality and international consistency. When met, this will contribute to the protection and enhancement of financial stability by making it easier for the Bank to identify emerging potential risks. Equality and Diversity The Bank considers that the proposals do not give rise to equality and diversity implications.

(a) for cleared derivatives other than derivatives between two CCPs, the UTI shall be generated at the point of clearing by the CCP for the clearing member. A different UTI shall be generated by the clearing member for its counterparty for a trade in which the CCP is not a counterparty; (b) for centrally-executed but not centrally-cleared derivatives, the UTI shall be generated by the venue of execution for its member; (c) for derivatives other than those referred to in points (a) and (b), where either counterparty is subject to the reporting requirements in a third country, the UTI shall be generated pursuant to the rules of the jurisdiction of the counterparty that must comply first with those reporting requirements. Where the counterparty subject to reporting under Article 9 of Regulation (EU) No 648/2012 must comply first with the reporting requirements, the following entity shall generate the UTI:
(i) for derivatives that were centrally-confirmed by electronic means, the trade confirmation platform at the point of confirmation; (ii) for all other derivatives, the counterparties shall agree on the entity responsible for generating the UTI. Where the counterparties fail to agree, the counterparty whose LEI is first based on sorting the identifiers of the counterparties with the characters of the identifier reversed shall be responsible for the generation. Where the applicable laws of the relevant third country prescribe the same reporting deadline as the one applicable to the EU counterparty, the counterparties shall agree on the entity responsible for generating the UTI. Where the counterparties fail to agree, and the derivative was centrallyconfirmed by electronic means, the UTI shall be generated by the trade confirmation platform at the point of confirmation. If the UTI cannot be generated by the trade confirmation platform at the point of confirmation, and the derivative has been reported to a single trade repository, that trade repository shall be responsible for generating the UTI. If the UTI cannot be generated by the trade repository to which the derivative has been reported, the counterparty whose LEI is first based on sorting the identifiers of the counterparties with the characters of the identifier reversed shall be responsible for the generation; (d) for derivatives other than those referred to in points (a) to (c), that were centrally-confirmed by electronic means, the UTI shall be generated by the trade confirmation platform at the point of confirmation; (e) for all derivatives other than those referred to in points (a) to (d), the following shall apply:
FCA 2022/XX
(i) where financial counterparties conclude a derivative with nonfinancial counterparties, the financial counterparties shall generate the UTI; (ii) where non-financial counterparties above the clearing threshold conclude a derivative with non-financial counterparties below the clearing threshold, those non-financial counterparties above the clearing threshold shall generate the UTI; (iii) for all derivatives other than those referred to in points (i) and (ii), the counterparties shall agree on the entity responsible for generating the UTI. Where the counterparties fail to agree, the counterparty whose LEI is first based on sorting the identifiers of the counterparties with the characters of the identifier reversed shall be responsible for the generation.
3. The counterparty generating the UTI shall communicate UTI to the other counterparty
in a timely manner and no later than 10:00 a.m. Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) of the working day following the date of the conclusion of the derivative.

different from that determined in accordance with paragraph 2. The entity generating the UTI shall comply with the requirements set out in paragraphs 1 and 3.
5. The counterparties shall ensure that they report derivatives using the UTI generated in
accordance with paragraphs 1, 2 and 4.
Article 9
Reporting LEI changes and update of identification code to LEI
FCA 2022/XX
3. The request referred to in the paragraph 1 shall contain at least the following:
(a) the LEI of each of the entities participating in the corporate restructuring event; (b) the LEI of the new counterparty; (c) the date on which the change will take place or has taken place; (d) the unique trade identifiers of the derivatives concerned in case where the corporate restructuring event affects only a subset of derivatives referred to in the points (a) and (b) of Article 3(2); (e) evidence that the corporate restructuring event has taken or will take place, subject to the provisions under Article 17 of Regulation (EU) 596/2014.
4. When a counterparty notifies mistakenly a trade repository about a change in its LEI,
it shall follow the procedure set out in paragraphs 1 to 3 to request update of its LEI to the correct one.
5. In cases where a counterparty which was previously identified with an identifier other
than an LEI obtains an LEI, the procedures under paragraphs 1 to 3 apply.
6. In case the LEI change concerns a non-UK counterparty, its UK reporting
counterparty or the entity responsible for reporting pursuant to Article 9(1a) to (1d) of Regulation (EU) No 648/2012 or the entity to which the UK reporting counterparty delegated the reporting shall initiate the procedure under paragraphs 1 to 3.
7. In case where a non-UK counterparty which was previously identified with identifier
other than LEI obtains an LEI, each UK reporting counterparty affected by this change or the entity responsible for reporting pursuant to Article 9(1a) to (1d) of Regulation (EU) No 648/2012 or the entity to which the UK reporting counterparty delegated the reporting shall request the update of the identifier of the non-UK counterparty to its respective trade repository.
8. In cases where the LEI change concerns an entity referred to in points (a)-(c), (e) or
(g) of Article 4(1), that is not a counterparty to the derivative, the counterparty 1 or the entity responsible for reporting shall confirm to the trade repository the unique trade identifiers of the derivatives concerned referred to in the points (a) and (b) of
Article 3(2). Where the counterparty 1 and the entity responsible for reporting do not
confirm to the trade repository the unique trade identifiers of the derivatives referred to in the points (a) and (b) of Article 3(2) concerned by the LEI change, and therefore the TR does not perform such update, the counterparty 1 or the entity responsible for reporting shall update the LEI of the concerned entity in all reports pertaining to the derivatives concerned referred to in the points (a) and (b) of Article 3(2) by sending a report with action type ‘Modify’.

A trade repository shall perform the procedure on the update of the identifier at the latest on the day of restructuring or within 30 calendar days as of receipt of the request if reported less than 30 calendar days prior to the date of the corporate restructuring event.
2.2.2 R A trade repository shall identify the relevant derivatives referred to in
points (a) and (b) of Article 3(2) of the EMIR Technical Standards on the Standards, Formats, Frequency and Methods and Arrangements for Reporting 2022 at the time of the corporate restructuring event where the entity is identified with the old identifier in any of the fields and replace Rejection categories Reason Schema – the derivative has been rejected, because of non-compliant schema. Permission – the derivative has been rejected, because the report submitting entity is not permissioned to report on behalf of the reporting counterparty or the entity responsible for reporting. Logical – the derivative has been rejected, because the action type for the derivative is not logically correct. Business – the derivative isrejected, because the derivative is not complying with one or more content validations.
