CSD Reshaping to T2S
CSD infrastructures require adaptations to integrate with T2S
12
Pricing CSD Reshaping to T2S (ii)
A set of functionalities for CSDs to individually design T2S interaction schemes according to business or legal needs
Reshaping options; - Data replication: entirely or partially by real-time messages (push mode) - No data replication: outsourcing to use functionalities on request (pull
mode) - A combination: some data are replicated and others are queried
Data replication requires redundant storage of T2S data through quality and reconciliation controls
Maximisation of future savings, in case of outsourcing to T2S
Minimizing adaptation costs now leads to higher running costs in the future

Harmonisation in T2S
T2S harmonises settlement and thus indirectly fosters further alignments of EU market practices
Progress is defined in line with T2S stakeholders and other market initiatives
The Eurosystem co-operates with market participants and public authorities to align the harmonisation process (e.g. CSD regulation, Joint Initiative on Market Infrastructures – JIMI Steering Group)
T2S is a unique opportunity to remove Giovannini barriers by harmonising EU post-trading

Harmonisation in T2S (ii)
AG sub-structures deal with harmonisation issues - Corporate actions - Messages - Cross-CSD settlement (TFAX)
In addition, enhancement of T2S’ role in harmonisation;
- Harmonisation Steering Group to exclusively steer T2S alignments o Composed of Programme Board and AG senior members o Supported by the T2S Programme Office and NUGs o Reporting to the AG

Yellow Harmonisation Activity/Deliverable will not have the required scope, will be/is delayed and/or not of the required quality if no corrective measures are taken. Yellow in implementation process indicates that the standard has either been partly implemented or that there is medium risk of non-compliance prior to T2S launch.
Red Corrective measures have not delivered the expected effect or no corrective measures are possible. Deliverable/Activity will be delayed to achieve the required quality or scope if no extraordinary action is taken and requires escalation. Red in implementation process indicates that that there is high risk of non-compliance prior to T2S launch.
T2S Harmonisation Task Force on Adaptation to Cross-CSD Settlement
The TFAX was established with the aim to propose common best practices to selected issues hampering cross-CSD settlement in the post-T2S environment.
- Focus of the TFAX is on the process-based and technical aspects of adapting to T2S. - The common best practices will assist CSDs and other market participants to adapt to
T2S in a harmonised manner.
A mini-consultation was distributed via the NUGS which is running until the end of April. Its aim is to verify the drafted solution papers:
- Topic 1: Registration processing; - Topic 2: Tax processing; - Topic 3: CSD ancillary services; - Topic 4: Portfolio transfers / Bond stripping and reconstitution / Account segregation by
currency.
