The event provided a platform for market participants, financial market infrastructures, custodians, issuers, regulators, and industry experts to discuss the upcoming transition to T+1 settlement in Europe and the preparations required to ensure successful implementation.

The programme featured keynote presentations from regulatory and market experts, a fireside conversation on international experiences and lessons learned, and two panel discussions focusing on the impact of T+1 across the securities value chain and practical implementation considerations.

Participants benefited from valuable insights shared by representatives from AFM, ESMA, CSSF, Citi, Euroclear, Deutsche Bank, Cboe Clear Europe, ABN AMRO, BUX, Euronext Securities, and other key market stakeholders. Discussions highlighted both the opportunities and operational challenges associated with the move to T+1 and reinforced the importance of continued collaboration across the industry.

DACSI would like to thank all speakers, panelists, moderators, participants, and Euronext Amsterdam for their contribution to the success of the event. The lively discussions, exchange of expertise, and networking opportunities throughout the afternoon demonstrated the strong commitment of the Dutch market to ensure readiness for T+1 settlement.

To support market participants in their preparations, DACSI recently published the Dutch T+1 NL Handbook, which is available for download via the link below:

Sabine Vermaete (Euroclear) will act as the Dutch observer, serving as the primary point of contact between the Dutch market and the TFM. In this role, she will facilitate the exchange of information, coordinate testing-related activities, and help raise any Dutch or cross-border testing issues.

DACSI, represented by Elly van Gils and Ben van der Velpen, will serve as alternates. In addition to supporting the observer role where required, DACSI will ensure alignment with and communication towards the broader Dutch post-trade community.

We would like to thank Sabine, Elly and Ben for taking on these roles and supporting the Dutch market’s preparations for the transition to T+1 settlement.

DACSI supports FASTER’s objective of establishing harmonised and efficient procedures for relief at source and quick refunds. However, several legal, operational and technical issues should be resolved before the process model and technical specifications are finalised.

Key recommendations include proportionate and risk-based responsibilities for Certified Financial Intermediaries, a declaration validity period of at least three years, workable arrangements for retail investors and investment funds, and clarity on the definition of “final investor”. The framework should also support partial and mixed-entitlement claims while avoiding unnecessary collection of investor data.

DACSI calls for the complete end-to-end process to be agreed and tested before the technical specifications are frozen.

Het bericht DACSI just submitted the response to ESMA’s “Consultation on Amendments to the Guidelines on standardised procedures and messaging protocols under CSDR”. verscheen eerst op DACSI.

Our latest paper examines whether the Directive’s extensive investor-level reporting obligations, including the transmission of sensitive personal data through the full chain of financial intermediaries, meet the requirements of data minimisation, necessity and proportionality under EU data protection law. It also explores how the final Directive differs from the original proposal reviewed by the European Data Protection Supervisor (EDPS) and what this means for legal certainty and implementation.

The paper calls on the European Commission to revisit these issues in the context of the Tax Omnibus initiative and encourages Member States to make implementation choices that minimise privacy risks while preserving the objectives of FASTER.

We welcome the discussion with policymakers, tax authorities, market infrastructures and financial institutions on how to strike the right balance between tax transparency, operational efficiency and fundamental data protection rights.
