On November 22nd, 2019, the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA), the EU’s securities markets regulator, published two vacancy notices for the new CCP Supervisory Committee (Committee) that it is required to establish under the amended European Market Infrastructure Regulation (EMIR 2.2). ESMA is recruiting for the position of Chair and two Independent Members of the new Committee. These new vacancies were originated by the several amendments to EMIR recently agreed by the European Parliament and the Council of the European Union (EU). In accordance with such amendments, ESMA is required to host a Committee in order to carry out the tasks assigned to ESMA with reference to the recognition and direct supervision of third-country CCPs, and the promotion of supervisory convergence among national competent authorities. The Committee shall be composed of a Chair and two Independent Members, the competent authorities of Member States where a CCP is established and, where applicable, the central banks of issue of EU currencies.
