EU Commitments

In accordance with the conditional clearance decision adopted by the European Commission on 13 January 2021 for LSEG’s acquisition of Refinitiv, LSEG hereby publishes the text of the commitments relating to OTC Interest Rate Derivatives (the OTC IRD Commitments), which will remain in place until January 2031. Consistent with SwapClear’s obligations under the OTC IRD Commitments, SwapClear does not charge any clearing or compression fees for OTC IRDs clearing services that discriminate based on the source of the trade (i.e. by trading venue or middleware provider).

 

Any trading venue or middleware provider that has reason to believe that LSEG has failed to comply with its obligations as set out in the OTC IRD Commitments can file a complaint pursuant to the fast-track dispute resolution procedure set out in the OTC IRD Commitments by emailing LSEG at OTCIRD-Commitments@lseg.com (with a copy to the monitoring trustee (see contact details below)) setting out in detail the reasons leading it to believe that LSEG is failing to comply with the requirements of the OTC IRD Commitments. Trading venues and middleware providers are encouraged to contact LCH to attempt to resolve their concerns prior to formally filing a complaint pursuant to the fast-track dispute resolution procedure.

 

The Monitoring Trustee appointed by LSEG to carry out the functions specified in the OTC IRD Commitments is ALCIS ADVISERS GmbH. To contact ALCIS ADVISERS in relation to the OTC IRD Commitments, please email David Cayet at david.cayet@alcis-advisers.com or Ulrich Puls at ulrich.puls@alcis-advisers.com.
