Allocation of additional resources (old CCP question 15 dated 5/08/2013)

Article 35(3) of Commission Delegated Regulation No 153/2013 specifies that the minimum amount (as calculated according to Article 35(2) of Commission Delegated Regulation No 153/2013) of dedicated own resources referred to in Article 35(1) of Commission Delegated Regulation No 153/2013 must be allocated to each of the default funds in proportion to the size of each default fund. Article 35(3) of Commission Delegated Regulation No 153/2013 states that the amount allocated to a given default fund may be used only against defaults arising in the market segments to which that default fund refers, and not against defaults arising in market segments to which other default funds refer. Any amount of dedicated own resources contributed to the default waterfall in excess of this minimum amount does not need to be allocated to a specific default fund and may be allocated across the different default funds and in a different proportion to the minimum amount.
