As a consequence of the above, LCH.Clearnet Limited intends to take steps with respect to both the SCM and FCM SwapClear Services such that:

Owing to unavailability of the discontinued Euribor tenors, the SwapClear Eligibility Criteria will be amended in respect of Forward Rate Agreements referencing EUR-EURIBOR-REUTERS by the deletion of the discontinued Euribor tenors.
Conforming changes to the rulebook have been submitted for self-certification with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission.
