Recital 15

(15)The requirements in the margin rules of Brazil on eligible collateral, its valuation, and on how collateral is held and segregated, are equivalent to those set out in Delegated Regulation (EU) 2016/2251. The margin rules of Brazil contain an equivalent list of eligible collateral but does not require counterparties to reasonably diversify the collateral collected, including by limiting securities with low liquidity in order to avoid concentration of collateral, in a way similar to Article 8 of Delegated Regulation (EU) 2016/2251. However, since these concentration requirements under Article 8 apply to Union counterparties it can be concluded that the collateral requirements under the application of margin rules of Brazil result in an equivalent outcome to that of Delegated Regulation (EU) 2016/2251. The margin rules of Brazil for OTC derivative contracts not cleared by a CCP should therefore be considered equivalent to those provided for under Article 11(3) of Regulation (EU) No 648/2012.
