3. Impacts on CSD services
Deregulation – Re regulation2
Demutualisation of stock exchanges and of post-trading services providers
Higher attention paid by both European and non-European regulators (CPSS-IOSCO recommendation N°18)
Consolidation process (both vertical and horizontal)

3. Impacts on CSD services
Blurring of specialisation4
Change of traditional roles of (I)CSDs, custodians, clearing houses
Increasing competition among market operators
Broadening of product ranges
Need to focus on risk management/transparency of risks

3. Impacts on CSD services
Focus: The interaction between (I)CSDs and custodians
4
(I)CSDs are expanding to low added value level services
Their added value services are aimed at increasing the efficiency of the settlement process
Competition between (I)CSDs and custodians might exist for low added value services
Custodians offer services at the highest added value level
Cooperation is essential because custodians’ services are complementary to the CSDs’ ones

Focus: The interaction between (I)CSDs and CCPs

Advantages of the CCP More efficient risk management Anonymity of counterparties Netting
Is it always necessary?
CPSS-IOSCO recommendation N° 4: the benefits and costs of a CCP should be assessed
Capability of SSSs to interact with whichever market operator (trading platforms, CCPs, intermediaries, matching and routing engines)

4.1 The European financial integration
The two pillars of the integration
2001: Introduction of the Euro
1999: Adoption of the Financial Services Action Plan (FSAP)
The two pillars of the integration
2001: Introduction of the Euro
1999: Adoption of the Financial Services Action Plan (FSAP)
Strategic objectives to reap the full benefits of the Euro and to ensure continued stability and competitiveness of EU financial markets:
N° 1: A single EU wholesale market
N° 2: Open and secure retail markets
N° 3: State-of-the-art prudential rules and supervision
General Objective: wider conditions for an optimal single financial market

4.2 Present difficulties
Technical barriers and market practice Barriers of high importance
National restrictions and practical impediments to remote access
Differences in national rules relating to corporate actions, beneficial ownership and custody
Barriers of medium importance
Absence of intra-day settlement finality
National differences in settlement periods
Tax barriers: Stamp duty in UK, withholding tax in Italy
Legal barriers: Companies law, bankruptcy law

4.3 Progress already made
Starting point: A fragmented environment: “Fragmentation in the EU clearing and settlement infrastructure complicates significantly the post-trade processing of cross-border securities transactions relative to domestic transactions" (Giovannini Report)
Starting point: A fragmented environment: “Fragmentation in the EU clearing and settlement infrastructure complicates significantly the post-trade processing of cross-border securities transactions relative to domestic transactions" (Giovannini Report)
Harmonisation process started: Investment Service Directive (ISD) 1993
Adoption of new directives: Settlement Finality Directive, Collateral Directive, 6 other legislative proposals and the updated ISD (to be approved within the end of 2002)
Comitology procedure: making financial services legislation more timely and flexible

4.4 The way ahead: false issues
1. C&S as a natural monopoly
2. Consolidation versus integration
3. Religious war: verticalists versus horizontalists
22Marzo 2002
4.4 The way ahead: real issues
Significant reduction in cross-border investment/
running costs
Risk reduction
Efficiency
Reliability, resilience, integrity and scalability

4.5 Steps for further rationalisation
1. What market participants need:
2. How to be achieved:
InteroperabilityInteroperabilityA
B Effective Level Playing Field
A single integrated “process” for European C&S rather than legal consolidation
24Marzo 2002
4.5 Steps for further rationalisation
A Interoperability
Capability of systems to interoperate with each other (e.g. also with payment systems)
Open architecture of clearing/ settlement systems
Minimisation of sunk costs for intermediaries
Independent from governance
Non preemptive with regard to a different long term solution
25Marzo 2002
Interoperability: Network industries
A good example is the telecommunication industry where different actors interact as a single integrated process without requiring consolidation
