(14)In order to preserve the international competitiveness of Union CCPs, the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA), when developing the draft regulatory technical standards, analysed the rules applicable to and the practices of third-country CCPs, together with international developments in the recovery and resolution of CCPs. Based on those analyses, ESMA concluded that the methodology proposed for the calculation of additional amounts of pre-funded dedicated own resources for Union CCPs should not adversely affect the competitiveness of internationally active Union CCPs.
