The Croatian Financial Services Supervisory Agency (HANFA) issued these instructions to standardize the electronic submission of notifications regarding intragroup clearing exemptions under EMIR and reports of disputes between counterparties. The document mandates specific file formats, including XLS for structured data forms and PDF for signed notifications, along with detailed protocols for electronic signatures and alternative submission methods in case of technical failures. These rules replace previous technical guidelines and entered into force on February 1, 2023, ensuring compliance with EU Regulation 648/2012 and Regulation 149/2013.
