FMIA / FinfraG - Slightly amended and ready for 'deployment'

Today, the Swiss Federal Council has adopted the dispatch on the Financial Market Infrastructure Act (FMIA, German: FinfraG).

From a corporate point of view, FMIA and it's consequences for Swiss corporates or Switzerland-based subsidiaires of foreign corporates are quite similar to the requirements due to to EMIR. But there will be at least some relief regarding reporting.

Trades concluded between a corporate and a bank will have to be reported by the respective bank and not by the corporate. Transactions with foreign counterparties will have to reported in case the foreign counterparty does not report.

At the moment, no more detailed information with regards to e.g. implementation, timelines etc. is available and expected to be delivered in Q4 / 2014 - FMIA is expected to come into force later in 2015.

Further information regarding the dispatch can be found here (General aspects in English, law etc. in German).

EMIR / Backloading / Update

There was some obviously wrong consensus amongst market participants and even some National Competent Authorities as to when to report historical derivative contracts, which are live on February 12, 2014 and which were entered into on or after August 16, 2012. It was believed to report such trades also with a 90 days grace period.

However, according to an articel in risk magazine, a spokesman from ESMA did not confirm this "90-days" rule for historical trades which were concluded on/after August 16, 2012 and are are still live on February 12, 2014. It was said that those trades must be reported already on February 12, 2014.
