Amendments to Directive No. 2
The CBM Directive No. 2 on Payment and Securities Settlement Systems seeks to reduce the legal and systemic risks associated with participation in payment systems and securities settlement systems; and aims to minimise the disruption to a system caused by insolvency proceedings against a participant in that system.
The Directive is modelled on the requisites of the Directive 98/26/EC on settlement finality in payment and securities settlement systems as amended by Directives 2009/44/EC, 2010/78/EU, and 2019/879/EU and Regulations (EU) No 648/2012 and No 909/2014.
To ensure full compliance with the BRRDII (Directive 2019/879/EU), the definitions of “central counterparty” and “participant” were amended in CBM Directive No. 2.
