Article 3

Conditions for higher frequencies of calculation and reporting in accordance with Article 50a(3) and Article 50c(2) of Regulation (EU) No 648/2012

1.   Competent authorities of an institution acting as a clearing member may require any CCP in which that institution acts as a clearing member to undertake the calculation referred to in Article 1(1) and the reporting referred to in Article 2(1) with either a daily or a weekly frequency in either of the following situations:

(a)

where, following the default of one clearing member, a CCP is obliged to use any portion of the pre-funded financial resources that it contributed to the default waterfall in accordance with Article 43 of Regulation (EU) No 648/2012;

(b)

where, following the default of one clearing member a CCP is obliged to make use of the default fund contributions of non-defaulting clearing members in accordance with Article 42 of Regulation (EU) No 648/2012.

2.   Competent authorities shall base the choice between daily and weekly frequency as provided for in paragraph 1 on the degree of actual or foreseen depletion of the pre-funded financial resources.

3.   Where competent authorities require a higher frequency of calculation and reporting from a CCP in accordance with point (a) of paragraph 1, the higher frequency shall apply until the pre-funded financial resources that were contributed by the CCP to the default waterfall are restored at the levels set in Article 35 of Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) No 153/2013 (4).

4.   Where competent authorities require a higher frequency of calculation and reporting from a CCP in accordance with point (b) of paragraph 1, the higher frequency shall apply until the default fund contributions of the non-defaulting members of the CCP are restored to the levels set out in Article 42 of Regulation (EU) No 648/2012.


(4)  Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) No 153/2013 of 19 December 2012 supplementing Regulation (EU) No 648/2012 of the European Parliament and of the Council with regard to regulatory technical standards on requirements for central counterparties (OJ L 52, 23.2.2013, p. 41).
