Opinion of the European Central Bank of 20 February 2006 at the request of Magyar Nemzeti Bank on a draft regulation on the general terms and conditions and internal regulations of clearing houses for credit institutions (CON/2006/7)

OPINION OF THE EUROPEAN CENTRAL BANK 

of 20 February 2006 

at the request of Magyar Nemzeti Bank 

on a draft regulation on the general terms and conditions and internal regulations of clearing 

houses for credit institutions 

(CON/2006/7) 

1.  On 6 December 2005 the European Central Bank (ECB) received a request from Magyar Nemzeti 

Bank  for  an  opinion  on  a  draft  regulation  on  the  general  terms  and  conditions  and  internal 

regulations of clearing houses for credit institutions (hereinafter the ‘draft regulation’). 

2. 

The ECB’s competence to deliver an opinion is based on the second, third, fifth and sixth indents of 

Article 2(1) of Council Decision 98/415/EC of 29 June 1998 on the consultation of the European 
Central Bank by national authorities regarding draft legislative provisions1, as the draft regulation 

contains provisions concerning means of payment, Magyar Nemzeti Bank, payment and settlement 

systems  and  rules  that  materially  influence  the  stability  of  financial  institutions  and  markets.  In 

accordance with the first sentence of Article 17.5 of the Rules of Procedure of the European Central 

Bank, the Governing Council has adopted this opinion. 

3. 

The  draft  regulation  sets  out  requirements  for  the  general  terms  and  conditions  and  internal 

regulations of clearing houses for credit institutions that may include preconditions to performing 

such activities.  

4. 

The ECB welcomes such rules as they are essential to Magyar Nemzeti Bank’s oversight function, 

particularly as they take into account recent developments. 

5. 

In the ECB’s view the draft regulation should specify that the list of issues to be regulated in the 

terms and conditions of a clearing house for credit institutions is not exhaustive and constitutes a 

list  of  minimum  requirements,  therefore  making  it  possible  to  include  additional  items  in  the 

clearing houses’ terms and conditions. 

6.  Article 20 of the draft regulation on fees requires transparency and equal treatment of participants. 

However,  this  transparency  requirement  would  not  apply  to  entities  that  are  considering 

participation  and  have  a  strong  interest  in  applicable  fees  when  deciding  whether  to  participate. 

Hence,  it  would  be  advisable  to  extend  Article  20  to  entities  considering  becoming  participants, 

direct submitters or settlement agents.
