THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,

Having regard to the opinion of the European Central Bank(1),                        

Having regard to Regulation (EU) No 648/2012 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 4 July 2012 on OTC derivatives,                           central counterparties and trade repositories(2), and in particular Article 9(5) thereof,                        

Whereas:

(1)In order to allow flexibility, a counterparty should be able to delegate the reporting of a contract to the other counterparty                              or to a third party. Counterparties should also be able to agree to delegate reporting to a common third entity including                              a central counterparty (CCP), the latter submitting one report, including the relevant table of fields, to the trade repository.                              In these circumstances and in order to ensure data quality, the report should indicate that it is made on behalf of both counterparties                              and contain the full set of details that would have been reported had the contract been reported separately.

(2)To avoid inconsistencies in the Common Data tables, each counterparty to a derivative contract should ensure that the Common                              Data reported is agreed between both parties to the trade. A unique trade identifier will help with the reconciliation of                              the data in the case that the counterparties are reporting to different trade repositories.

(3)To avoid duplicate reporting and to reduce the reporting burden, where one counterparty or CCP reports on behalf of both counterparties,                              the counterparty or CCP should be able to send one report to the trade repository containing the relevant information.

(4)Valuation of derivative contracts is essential to allow regulators to fulfil their mandates, in particular when it comes to                              financial stability. The mark to market or mark to model value of a contract indicates the sign and size of the exposures                              related to that contract, and complements the information on the original value specified in the contract.

(5)Gathering information on the collateral pertaining to a particular contract is essential to ensuring the proper monitoring                              of exposures. To enable this, counterparties that collateralise their transactions should report such collateralisation details                              on a transaction level basis. Where collateral is calculated on the basis of net positions resulting from a set of contracts,                              and is therefore not posted on a transaction level basis but on a portfolio basis, counterparties should be able to report                              the portfolio using a unique code or numbering system as determined by the counterparty. That unique code should identify                              the specific portfolio over which the collateral is exchanged where the counterparty has more than one portfolio and should                              also ensure that a derivative contract can be linked to a particular portfolio over which collateral is being held.

(6)This Regulation is based on the draft regulatory technical standards submitted by the European Securities and Markets Authority                              (ESMA) to the Commission and it reflects the relevance of the role of trade repositories to improve transparency of markets                              towards the public and regulators, the data to be reported to, collected by and made available by trade repositories depending                              on derivative class and the nature of the trade.

(7)ESMA has consulted the relevant authorities and the members of the European System of Central Banks (ESCB) before submitting                              the draft regulatory technical standards on which this Regulation is based. In accordance with Article 10 of Regulation (EU)                              No 1095/2010, of the European Parliament and of the Council of 24 November 2010 establishing a European Supervisory Authority                              (European Securities and Markets Authority)(3), ESMA has also conducted open public consultations on such draft regulatory technical standards, analysed the potential related                              costs and benefits and requested the opinion of the ESMA Securities and Markets Stakeholder Group established in accordance                              with Article 37 of that Regulation,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

6.Where a derivative contract includes features typical of more than one underlying asset as specified in Table 2 of the Annex,                        a report shall indicate the asset class that the counterparties agree the contract most closely resembles before the report                        is sent to a trade repository.                  

## Article 2U.K.Cleared trades

2.Where a contract is concluded in a trading venue and cleared by a CCP such that a counterparty is not aware of the identity                        of the other counterparty, the reporting counterparty shall identify that CCP as its counterparty.

3.Where the collateral related to a contract is reported on a portfolio basis, the reporting counterparty shall report to the                        trade repository a code identifying the portfolio of collateral posted to the other counterparty related to the reported contract.                  

4.Non-financial counterparties other than those referred to in Article 10 of Regulation (EU) No 648/2012 shall not be required                        to report collateral, mark to market, or mark to model valuations of the contracts referred to in Table 1 of the Annex.                  

5.For contracts cleared by a CCP, mark to market valuations shall only be provided by the CCP.
