The European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA), the EU’s securities markets regulator, has announced to its [decision ](https://www.esma.europa.eu/sites/default/files/library/esma91-398-4843_esma_public_statement_uk_ccps_march_2022.pdf)to extend the application of the recognition decisions under Article 25 of EMIR (Regulation (EU) 648/2012) for the three CCPs established in the United Kingdom.

On 22 March 2022, ESMA amended the recognition decisions and tiering determination decisions in respect of the three recognised UK CCPs – ICE Clear Europe Ltd, LCH Ltd and LME Clear Ltd – that were adopted by ESMA on 25 September 2020, to align them with the Commission Implementing Decision (EU) 2022/174 adopted by the European Commission on 8 February 2022.
