Auto-collateralisation should be available • To all participating markets • During the whole settlement day at zero interest • In repo and in pledge environments Substitution of auto-collateral operations • If securities used for auto-collateral operations are needed for a securities transaction, T2S will automatically release the securities for an equivalent amount of cash, or automatically substitute them for other securities. Closing of auto-collateral operations • Settlement banks will have the choice to close all or part of their auto-collateral operations on request. • Dedicate liquidity to close their auto-collateral operations. • All auto-collateral operations will be closed automatically at the end of day. 13 CSDsCSD in T2S in T2S Indirect connection T2ST2S Parties Party T2S CSDsCSD in T2S in T2S Direct connection T2ST2S Parties Party Technical connection Contractual relationship 14 • T2S brings de facto harmonisation to settlement (single settlement procedure and schedule, ISO 20022 messages, etc.) and also indirectly fosters further harmonisation of market practices throughout Europe • Harmonisation progress is defined in association with T2S stakeholders and builds on market initiatives • The Eurosystem co-operates with other relevant EU bodies and groups, like CESAME2, to align market participants and public authorities for the implementation of harmonised standards within European local markets T2S represents a unique opportunity to dismantle Giovannini barriers and stimulate European harmonisation in post-trading 15 I.
