Important information on EMIR

The European Market Infrastructure Regulation (EMIR) is European legislation that applies directly to all entities in the European Union that:

• can enter into positions and transactions in exchange-traded derivatives (options and futures)
• have entered into positions and transactions in exchange-traded derivatives (options and futures)
• are regarded as beneficiaries of transactions in exchange-traded derivatives (options and futures) 

Do you trade in options and futures? Then the EMIR legislation requires ABN AMRO to daily report every transaction and position in options and futures of which you are the beneficiary to a trade repository (TR). 

The reporting obligation is intended to give regulators more insight into the use of such derivatives in the financial markets and in the derivatives portfolios of individual entities.  

ABN AMRO is obliged to report to the DTCC Derivatives Repository daily concerning positions and transactions in options and futures. 

To facilitate this reporting, we need the Legal Entity Identifier (LEI) of our business investors. You can apply for this at the Chamber of Commerce. For issuing you with a LEI, the Chamber of Commerce charges an initial application and registration fee, and an annual fee in the years thereafter. To apply for your LEI and to see current fees, please go to www.kvk.nl/LEI
