TRAction is pleased to introduce the updated User-Friendly Guide to Transaction Reporting in Europe. The team at TRAction have refreshed our well-known guide for those reporting under EMIR and MiFIR/MiFID II in both the UK and Europe.

Article 9(1)(a) UK EMIR requires non-financial counterparties (NFCs) who benefit from mandatory delegated reporting when trading derivatives with a financial counterparty (FC) to report both sides of their trades with NFC- entities, unless the NFC- entity has specifically requested otherwise. This reduces the burden on smaller non-financial counterparties.

UK EMIR is the UK version of EMIR. The European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 (EUWA) enables the EMIR to be converted into UK law.
