The organizations represented by the European Central Securities Depositories Association (ECSDA) the Federation of European Securities Exchanges (FESE), and the European Association of Central Counterparty Clearing Houses (EACH) agreed on 7 November 2006 on a Code of Conduct for Clearing and Settlement.

  • Price transparency

      Ôo help customers to understand and compare prices and services,

  • Standard unilateral access between organizations and interoperability

Ôo enhance the ability of organizations to interconnect and ultimately increase freedom of choice for market participants.

  • Service unbundling and accounting separation

Ôo facilitate competition, increase customer choice and provide relevant information on the services provided.

In view of the implementation of "Service Unbundling" of the Code of Conduct, all ECSDA members (being signatories of the Code) have agreed on a common understanding of the services which have to be unbundled according to the Code of Conduct. This understanding is reflected in a common ECSDA Glossary.
