Recital 1

Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2021/962 of 6 May 2021 extending the transitional period referred to in Article 89(1), first subparagraph, of Regulation (EU) No 648/2012 of the European Parliament and of the Council (Text with EEA relevance) · European Union

(1) Article 89(1) of Regulation (EU) No 648/2012 provides that, for a transitional period until 18 June 2021, the clearing obligation set out in Article 4 of that Regulation shall not apply to OTC derivative contracts that are objectively measurable as reducing investment risks directly relating to the financial solvency of pension scheme arrangements and to entities established for the purpose of providing compensation to members of pension scheme arrangements in case of default. That transitional period was introduced to avoid the adverse effect of centrally clearing derivative contracts on the retirement benefits of future pensioners, and to provide time for developing viable technical solutions for the transfer by pension scheme arrangements of cash and non-cash collateral as variation margins.
