(a)

paragraph 1 is replaced by the following: ‘1. A CCP shall accept highly liquid collateral with minimal credit and market risk to cover its initial and ongoing exposure to its clearing members. A CCP may, subject to the relevant conditions being met, accept public guarantees, public bank guarantees or commercial bank guarantees, provided that they are unconditionally available upon request within the liquidation period referred to in Article 41. A CCP shall set in its operating rules the minimum acceptable level of collateralisation for the guarantees it accepts and may specify that it can accept fully uncollateralised public bank guarantees or commercial bank guarantees. A CCP may accept public guarantees, public bank guarantees or commercial bank guarantees only to cover its initial and ongoing exposure to its clearing members that are non-financial counterparties or to clients of clearing members, provided that those clients are non-financial counterparties. Where assets, public guarantees, public bank guarantees or commercial bank guarantees are provided to a CCP, that CCP shall: ; take into account the public bank guarantees or commercial bank guarantees when calculating its exposure to the bank, that is also a clearing member, issuing them; subject uncollateralised public bank guarantees or commercial bank guarantees to concentration limits; apply adequate haircuts to the value of assets, public guarantees, public bank guarantees and commercial bank guarantees to reflect the potential for those values to decline over the interval between their last revaluation and the time by which they can reasonably be assumed to be liquidated or exercised, as applicable; take into account the liquidity risk following the default of a market participant and the concentration risk on certain assets in establishing the acceptable collateral and the relevant haircuts for the CCP; take into account the need to minimise any potential procyclicality effects of such revisions when revising the level of the haircuts that it applies to the assets and the public guarantees, public bank guarantees and commercial bank guarantees it accepts as collateral.’
