20 Reform of the registration, clearing and settlement system and adaptation to T2S
3. PRINCIPLES OF T2S A EUROSYSTEM INITIATIVE: T2S will perform basic, neutral, cross-border settlement services for European CSDs. The aim is to attain harmonised DvP settlement in central-bank currency (EUR and also other currencies) for nearly all securities in Europe. T2S will constitute a step forward in creating a single securities market, removing many of the Giovannini barriers to cross-boundary clearing and settlement and serving as a catalyst of additional harmonisation processes in post-trading services. T2S will be able to leverage considerable economies of scale by concentrating securities settlement in a single technical platform, resulting in more cost-effective settlement services. The ultimate objective is for cross-border settlement to be identical – in costs, risks and technical processing – to domestic settlement.
21 Reform of the registration, clearing and settlement system and adaptation to T2S
3. PRINCIPLES OF T2S BASIC FEATURES:
22 Reform of the registration, clearing and settlement system and adaptation to T2S
3. PRINCIPLES OF T2S BASIC FEATURES:
The aim of T2S is to put domestic settlement on the same level as cross-border settlement. Nevertheless, it is based on establishing bilateral links between CSDs. T2S will handle settlement and is a service offered to the CSDs, but will it not be a CSD per se. CSDs will continue to be responsible for their legal and business relationships with their own participants. T2S will be a multi-currency platform, and its scope will extend beyond the euro area. In T2S, securities may be settled in any of the available currencies. T2S will allow direct connectivity not only for CSDs and NCBs but also for their participants and also for CCPs. These entities may issue settlement instructions directly in T2S and receive information on results if the involved CSD allows so, in accordance with the rules applicable to their participants. For services not available in T2S, these entities will have to maintain their connection with the CSD involved.
23 Reform of the registration, clearing and settlement system and adaptation to T2S
3. PRINCIPLES OF T2S BASIC FEATURES:
T2S will ensure real-time DvP and cross-border settlement using the “integrated model”: securities accounts and cash accounts will be integrated into a single technical platform. T2S will settle in EUR according to the TARGET2 calendar, and settlement in other currencies will be performed according to the opening times of the central bank responsible for the currency involved. Closing times will be harmonized for the different types of transactions (expected times: against payment, 4:00 pm and free of payment, 6:00 pm).
24 Reform of the registration, clearing and settlement system and adaptation to T2S
3. PRINCIPLES OF T2S BASIC DOCUMENTATION: URD (User Requirements Document): Describes the features of T2S as they have been required by CSDs and market participants. Participants, users and CSDs have evaluated the impact of T2S at a very senior level, considering all relevant issues: instruction matching and maintenance, settlement, collateral management, custody, issues, etc. UDFS (User Detailed Functional Specifications): Describes the interactions with T2S from a user's perspective, providing the information needed to allow users who will connect directly to T2S to design and construct their interfaces. It therefore focuses on A2A (application-to-application) processes, i.e. connection through messaging. Access to this documentation in the T2S official site:

3. PRINCIPLES OF T2S GOVERNANCE:
26 Reform of the registration, clearing and settlement system and adaptation to T2S
3. PRINCIPLES OF T2S CURRENT STATUS: As set in the plan, the project is in the development phase, having been entrusted by the Eurosystem to the 4CB (Bundesbank, Banque de France, Banca d’Italia and Banco de España). The Framework Agreement (FA), which will govern the relationship between the Eurosystem, as the service provider, and the CSDs, has already been released, along with a similar agreement with non-euro area national central banks (Currency Participation Agreement). In November 2011, after two years of negotiations, the Governing Council formally invited the CSDs to sign the FA. In May 2012, a first group of nine CSDs, including Iberclear, ratified their incorporation into the T2S project by signing the FA. In June 2012, after 15 additional CSDs have signed the FA, participation in the T2S finally included nearly all eurozone CSDs.
27 Reform of the registration, clearing and settlement system and adaptation to T2S
3. PRINCIPLES OF T2S IMPLICATIONS OF T2S: 1. Registration system • At a Central Registry level, accounts structure established in the T2S as well as their
codification will have to be taken into consideration
• All matters related to keeping a detailed register will be outside of the purview of T2S: Accounts and movements codification
Supervision
28 Reform of the registration, clearing and settlement system and adaptation to T2S
3. PRINCIPLES OF T2S T2S IMPLICATIONS: 2. Transaction clearing and settlement
With the incorporation of the single platform, cross-border transactions and those coming from direct participants will necessarily have to be matched in T2S
For indirect participants, IBERCLEAR will establish: Matching procedure compatible with that of T2S Instructions maintenance compatible with T2S, allowing features such as
hold and release, modify and cancel
Previously matched transactions may be cancelled bilaterally
29 Reform of the registration, clearing and settlement system and adaptation to T2S
3. PRINCIPLES OF T2S IMPLICATIONS OF T2S: 2. Transaction clearing and settlement
Settlement instructions will be the available ones in T2S:
Free of payment (FoP) Delivery versus payment (DvP) Delivery with payment (DwP) Payment free of delivery (PFoD)
T2S has tools for linking transactions (bilaterally and/or as a set of instructions) by using indicators such as After (AFTE), Before (BEFO) or With (WITH – for example, for several transactions which have to be settled “all or nothing” as a result of netting by the CCP)
30 Reform of the registration, clearing and settlement system and adaptation to T2S
3. PRINCIPLES OF T2S IMPLICATIONS OF T2S: 2. Transaction clearing and settlement
Settlement may take place in other currencies than EUR
Balances of securities or cash may be blocked/earmarked in order to settle one or more instructions
Settlement processes, cycles and schedules will have to be adapted to the single
platform For incident resolution, T2S foresees using partial settlement mechanisms and
recycling matched transactions
31 Reform of the registration, clearing and settlement system and adaptation to T2S
3. PRINCIPLES OF T2S IMPLICATIONS OF T2S: 3. Supervising the keeping of detailed accounts
Supervision of detailed accounts is outside the T2S scope 4. Handling Corporate Actions
Management of Corporate Actions is outside the T2S scope
Only settlement instructions resulting from movements of securities and cash derived from Corporate Actions will be managed in the T2S platform
Set schedules for settling Corporate Actions

33 Reform of the registration, clearing and settlement system and adaptation to T2S
5. TIMETABLE: REFORM A new system unifying the registration and settlement of Equity and Fixed Income and compatible with T2S is being developed. This Reform project is to be rolled out in two phases: 1. The first phase (Q4 2014) will entail releasing a new system for Equities incorporating
all the changes called for in the Reform, including the figure of a central Counterparty Clearing Platform in the transaction clearing and settlement process. The SCLV platform will be discontinued at that time.
The CADE platform will continue operating without any changes, and cash settlement will be handled, as it is now, in the cash accounts of TARGET2-Bank of Spain
34 Reform of the registration, clearing and settlement system and adaptation to T2S
5. TIMETABLE: REFORM
2. The second phase will take place when Iberclear connects to the T2S platofrm. When
this occurs, Fixed Income securities will be incorporated in the new platform, and as a result the CADE Platform will be discontinued and Equity and Fixed Income securities registration and settlement will be unified.
