The European Securitisation Regulation: The Countdown Continues
ESMA Consultation Paper—Draft Technical Standards on Securitisation Repositories
Regulation (EU) 2017/2402 laying down a general framework for securitisation and creating a specific framework for simple, transparent and standardised securitisation ("Regulation") came into force on 18 January 2018 and will apply to European credit institutions, insurance companies and pension funds as well as alternative investment fund managers from 1 January 2019 onward. The Regulation tasks the three European supervisory authorities with developing regulatory technical standards and implementation technical standards for a number of key areas addressed in the Regulation.
This Jones Day White Paper summarizes the draft technical standards on operational standards for securitisation repositories data collection, data aggregation and comparison, data access, and procedures to verify completeness and consistency of information as proposed by ESMA in its Consultation Paper of 19 December 2017.
