Alternative clearing services provided by other CCPs
Article 4
1. When taking into account the criterion set out in point (d) of Article 25(2a) of Regulation (EU) No 648/2012, ESMA shall assess whether clearing members and clients established in the Union may access some or all of the clearing services provided by a CCP through other CCPs and whether those CCPs are authorised or recognised under Articles 14 and 25 of that Regulation. 2. Where any of the indicators referred to in Article 6 applies, ESMA, in addition to the elements listed in paragraph 1 of this Article, shall also assess whether the services provided by the CCP relate to a class of derivatives subject to the clearing obligation under Article 4 of Regulation (EU) No 648/2012.
