(18)CCPs authorised in a third-country in which the legal and supervisory arrangements are equivalent to those of the South African regulatory framework, which have equivalent regulation on anti-money laundering and combating financial terrorism, and in which CCPs are subject to effective supervision may provide services in South Africa provided they are authorised by the Registrar. For granting an authorisation, the Registrar will assess the application for authorisation taking into consideration the regulatory framework of the third country and may take into account information provided by any other supervisory authority, including third-country supervisory authorities. Moreover, the Registrar may exempt the third country CCPs from some or all of the requirements required under the FMA. The Registrar may enter into cooperation arrangements with third-country regulatory or supervisory authorities with the purpose of coordinating the supervision on an ongoing basis and exchanging information regarding third-country CCPs authorised in a third-country in which the legal and supervisory arrangements are equivalent to those of the South African regulatory framework and which are subject to effective supervision in the third-country in which they are authorised.
