This consultation document seeks views on proposals for implementation in the UK of the Amending Directive.
On 6 May 2009 the European Parliament and Council adopted Directive 2009/44/EC (the “Amending Directive”), which amends Directive 98/26/EC on settlement finality in payment and securities settlement systems (the “SFD”) and Directive 2002/47/EC on financial collateral arrangements (the “FCD”). Member states have until 30 December 2010 to adopt and publish their implementing measures, which are to apply from 30 June 2011.
