Level of significance of change

Minor

Main points

Section 6, Question 8

Trading venues are expected to implement the same fees schedule and rebate policy for all Central Clearing Counterparties (CCPs) accessing the trading venue. Nonetheless, ESMA acknowledges that there may be different arrangements in place. As such, ESMA permits trading venues to apply varying fee and rebate schedules to CCPs, as long as these deviations are justified reasonably and do not involve discriminatory practices.

Section 6, Question 9

Trading venues should clearly identify each service provided, including one-time and ongoing costs to CCPs for accessing their platform. This will help CCPs predict the rise in fees. Any changes to access agreements must follow agreed-upon procedures between the trading venue and CCPs.
