Delivery management, Filling of SWIFT messages

Yes, the settlement instructions contains the Place of Settlement (PSET).

Eurex Clearing will use the MIC codes: XETR, XFRA, XERE, XEUR, BTAM, Eurex Clearing, ECGS

  • Without cross-venue netting (not SME): MIC code XETR, XFRA, XEUR, XERE, BTAM
  • With cross-venue netting (not SME): Currently, Eurex Clearing sends net transactions to (I)CSDs with a place of trading value of own MIC ‘Eurex Clearing’. This will be continued with CSDR for cross-venue net transactions from all markets beside SME related ones, where the new MIC ‘ECGS’ will be used (ESMA registered SME BIC for Eurex Clearing)
  • SME: For instructions of SME related trades, Eurex Clearing will always use the new MIC ‘ECGS’ (ESMA registered SME BIC for Eurex Clearing), with and without netting (only C7 SCS related)

Option 2 will be implemented, usage of generic SME MIC code (ECGS).

Eurex Clearing's BICs depending on market: EUXCDEFFXXX, EUXCDEFFBON,  EUXCDEFFCCP.

MT537 penalty messages will only be sent by the CSDs, as only CSDs are responsible for the penalty calculation process. CSDs will populate field 22H with "PENA". Eurex Clearing will not send own MT537 penalty messages.
For the filling of other settlement related SWIFT messages please refer to the Release Notes (3.1.1 Population of delivery instructions).

In general, Eurex Clearing will ensure timely matching of instructions or will use a special indicator in the delivery instruction to avoid LMFP at the CSDs (e.g. reinstruct after partial Buy-in). There are some rare cases where the usage of the indicator is still in clarification with ESMA. LMFP will always charged to Eurex Clearing as sender (last modifier) of the message.

Yes for future setups, but not the case in current Eurex Clearing market setup. 

A new SME specific code 'ECGS' (registered at ESMA for SME) will be used for SME netting.

No, that is not expected.

Bilateral cancellation of instructions could only be required when Eurex Clearing sends instructions without Power of Attorney (PoA). As Eurex Clearing has PoA for all CSDR relevant (I)CSDs), that is not applicable.
