….XMAP should analyse the inventory of the CSDs rules (expected to be ready by the CSG in September 2013)
…XMAP would some appropriate time to analyse their impact on cross-border settlement in T2S. The exact time needed is difficult to define at this stage, prior to any reliable information on the exact number of the CSD restriction rules and their impact on cross-border activity
….XMAP should report the outcome of its analysis to the HSG, including possible harmonisation proposals if required. The report and the proposal will be reviewed by the HSG and subsequently the AG for any further action. The XMAP chairman should also send the report to the CSG in parallel.
