However, it is possible to exempt intragroup transactions from this obligation. If such an exemption is approved by the competent supervisory authorities, information on the exemption of intragroup transactions pursuant to Art. 11 para. 14 lit. d EMIR in connection with Art. 20 Delegated Regulation (EU) must be published.
The following group companies were granted a full (1) exemption by the competent authorities:
