In February, the European Parliament published the technical standards for the European Markets Infrastructure Regulation (EMIR).  The standards were published in the Official Journal of the European Union on 23 February 2013 and will enter into force on 15 March 2013.

To find out what this means, why not join us on Wednesday 14th March when we have our fifth plenary meeting of the Clearing & Settlement Working Group (CAS-WG) at the BT Auditorium, 81 Newgate Street, LONDON, EC1A 7AJ.

If you would like to attend, please register.

Each Subject Group has developed specific frameworks to model the implications
of change from the European Market Infrastructures Regulation (EMIR), along

International Settlements (BIS) Basel Committee and more.

Our plenary meetings are open for anyone to attend at no charge. Following
these meetings, further subject group meetings will take place in April, with
the next planned plenary session to take place in June 2013.
