ECMS and SCoRE: Implementation

24.10.2024

Clearstream’s Eurosystem Collateral Management System (ECMS) Programme will implement the collateral management harmonisation standards set by the Advisory Group for Market Infrastructure for Securities Collateral (AMI-SeCo) Single Collateral Management Rulebook for Europe (SCoRE) and facilitate triparty collateral management with central banks via the European Central Bank's (ECB) ECMS platform.

The SCoRE standards part of this programme aim to implement 15 new corporate actions standards to ensure harmonised corporate actions processes and workflows across the AMI-SeCo markets. 

In order to comply with the SCoRE Corporate Action Standard 1, Clearstream Banking AG1 will change the TEFRA-D processing for German domestic securities effective

18 November 2024

The issuers, issuing agents or lead managers who deal or issue securities subject to TEFRA D on the German market will have an impact on their processing in terms of reporting.

The following reports, currently available to clients and agents will be decommissioned by 18 November 2024:

  • KD179001: Fristende Leadmanager Vorabinfo
  • KD179002: Fristende Vorabinfo
  • KD179003: Fristende Leadmanager 
  • KD179004: Protokoll Fristende

In addition, KD179003 and KD179004 will be consolidated in one report, which will be made available to the agents via Xact Web Portal.

Upon request, CBF can set up the subscription on behalf of the agent, if the report is required to be available on Monday 18 November 2024.
