Brussels, 24/03/2022 (Agence Europe) – The European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) fined the trade repository REGIS-TR €186,000 for eight violations of the EU Market Infrastructure Regulation (EMIR) on Thursday 24 March. Established in Luxembourg in 2010, REGIS-TR is one of Europe’s leading trade repositories, i.e. a central data centre where detailed information on transactions in financial derivatives is reported. According to ESMA, REGIS-TR negligently failed to ensure the integrity of the data provided to it due to various data processing incidents. The trade repository is also accused of providing erroneous and unreliable reports to regulators by failing to verify the accuracy and completeness of the data received by reporting parties. The violations were committed between 2017 and 2020. To read ESMA's public notice: https://aeur.eu/f/xf (AD)
