The Consultation Paper has been updated with the final legal references following the jurist-linguist process and the
final adoption of EMIR 3 by co-legislators. In agreement with the Commission, the Consultation Paper is exceptionally published shortly ahead of the publication of EMIR 3 in the EU Official Journal to balance the short deadline for ESMA to submit the draft RTS to the Commission with the need to allow sufficient time for proper consideration and comment by all relevant stakeholders during the public consultation phase.
