B. Editorial changes to the rulebooks of Eurex Clearing AG in order to align with the current Eurex OTCClear Product List
During the previous rulebook changes of Eurex Clearing AG (OTC Clearing Conditions Chapter VIII and FCM Regulations Chapter II) for OTC Release 14.0, a drafting error occurred, such that Eurex Clearing AG's OTCClear Product List and the rulebooks were not aligned on the Floating Tenors.
Eurex Clearing AG offers the following floating tenors for IRS and Basis Swaps: 1M, 3M and 6M for USD; 1M, 3M, 6M and 12M for EUR. The rulebooks will be in line with these service offerings.
Moreover, the FpML code of the currency SEK (Swedish Krona) will be corrected from "SEKS" to "SEST" due to erratum.
To reflect the editorial changes, the following provisions will be amended as outlined in Attachment 1 and Attachment 2:
The amendments for topic B. will come into effect on 23 January 2023.
The amendments to the legal framework of Eurex Clearing AG published by this circular are deemed accepted by each affected contractual party of Eurex Clearing AG, unless the respective contractual party objects by written notice to Eurex Clearing AG prior to the relevant effective date(s) as stipulated in this circular. In case of an objection by the respective contractual party pursuant the preceding sentence, Eurex Clearing AG is entitled to terminate the respective contract (including a Clearing Agreement, if applicable). Instead of submitting an objection, the respective contractual party may submit in writing to Eurex Clearing AG comments to any amendments of the legal framework of Eurex Clearing AG within the first 10 Business Days after the publication of the amendments. Eurex Clearing AG shall assess whether these comments prevent the published amendments from becoming effective taking into account the interests of Eurex Clearing AG and all contractual parties.
Unless the context requires otherwise, terms used and not otherwise defined in this circular shall have the meaning ascribed to them in the Clearing Conditions or FCM Clearing Conditions of Eurex Clearing AG, as applicable.
