Recital 3

(3) Union market participants need to have more options as regards access to safe and efficient clearing services. To attract business, CCPs must be safe and resilient. Regulation (EU) No 648/2012 lays down measures to increase the transparency of derivatives markets and mitigate risks through clearing and the exchange of margin. In that respect, CCPs play an important role in mitigating financial risks. Rules should therefore be laid down to further enhance the stability of Union CCPs, notably by amending certain aspects of the regulatory framework. In addition, and in recognition of Union CCPs’ role in preserving the financial stability of the Union, it is necessary to strengthen further the supervision of Union CCPs, with particular attention to their role within the broader financial system and the fact that they provide cross-border services.
