How could anyone not<br \/>\napprove the need to provide a clear legal framework or the benefits of<br \/>\nreal-time gross settlement? Similarly, requiring an FMI to cover itself<br \/>\nagainst the risks it incurs or causes to be incurred is simply good<br \/>\npractice.<\/p>\n<p>However, the fact that the Principles are in a single document aimed<br \/>\nat all FMIs impacts their clarity and makes it difficult for FMIs to know<br \/>\nwhether they are completely, partially or not at all affected. This lack of<br \/>\ndetail was highlighted by the majority of responses received.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u2026 but whose detailed description arouses comments<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>To reduce the settlement fail ratio, Principle 11, for example, allows a<br \/>\nCSD to act as a securities lender, although it is clearly stated that in the<br \/>\nevent of borrower default, the CSD is exposed to credit and liquidity<br \/>\nrisk.<\/p>\n<p>Principle 13 covers the impact of bankruptcy of an FMI participant on<br \/>\nother members. However, it appears to view as acceptable that a CCP<br \/>\nshould pass on to its members the financial loss remaining after use of<br \/>\nall reserve deposits. <\/p>\n<p>Principle 4 does not prohibit the use of guarantees deposited with a<br \/>\nCCP relative to one market to cover bankruptcy on another market. If a certain amount of interoperability is taken into account, this is a far cry from information enabling participants to assess their risk when they use a CCP (Principle 13) \u2026 unless you consider that the assessment is easy, since the risk is unlimited!<\/p>\n<p>Principle 19 focuses on the risk which may be caused to the FMI by<br \/>\nclients of its participants (indirect participants). Apart from identifying<br \/>\nwho the &#8220;client&#8221; is (particularly for CCPs), this principle generates<br \/>\nseveral comments. How can an FMI make a judgement about<br \/>\nparticipants with which it has no direct link? What about competition<br \/>\nrisk (if a custodian has to reveal the identity of its clients to a CSD<br \/>\nwhich is also a competitor)? And what if the FMI is capable of making<br \/>\na judgement, what will it do? Ask its participant to no longer work with<br \/>\nthis client? FMIs are infrastructures, not supervisory bodies. It is their<br \/>\nresponsibility to ensure the quality of their direct participants, but<br \/>\nnothing more.<\/p>\n<p><citation|texte=The CPSS IOSCO Principles are international in scope\nand represent a consensus minimum to ensure the resilience of infrastructures.|auteur=Sylvie Bonduelle\/><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u2026 and whose monitoring raises questions<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>While the Responsibilities certainly present obligations on the<br \/>\nsupervisory bodies and identify the necessary means (resources,<br \/>\nexpertise, etc.), they appear a little weak compared with the<br \/>\nrequirements for FMIs. Furthermore, nothing is said of the obligation<br \/>\nfor local authorities to give supervisors, regulators, etc. the identified<br \/>\nmeans.<\/p>\n<p>Another question mark relates to the monitoring of an FMI by a<br \/>\nsupervisor, regulator, etc. that owns or operates the FMI. It should<br \/>\nobviously be clear that the Principles apply in the same way whatever<br \/>\nthe ownership structure. This question appears in most of the<br \/>\nconsultation\u2019s feedback, as well as the issue of who will then supervise<br \/>\nthe FMI.<\/p>\n<p><strong> Positioning in a European framework <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>From EMIRs to the consultation regarding CSDs, there have been<br \/>\ninnumerable European initiatives designed to strengthen financial<br \/>\nmarket infrastructures.<\/p>\n<p>The CPSS IOSCO Principles are international in scope. They must<br \/>\ntherefore take account of each country&#8217;s particular characteristics and<br \/>\nrepresent a consensus aiming to be the minimum to ensure the<br \/>\nresilience of infrastructures. The consultation also allows a local<br \/>\nauthority to go further and establish reinforced requirements, within its<br \/>\nperimeter, raising the question of a \u201clevel playing field\u201d and regulatory<br \/>\narbitrage.<\/p>\n<p>Should the Principles then be expected to represent the \u201cnecessary<br \/>\nand sufficient\u201d? This appears difficult for two reasons: European<br \/>\nregulations are operational and include requirements we would like to<br \/>\n\u201cexport\u201d.
