Rafael Plata

Rafael Plata is the Secretary General of the European Association of CCP Clearing Houses (EACH). He represents the common interests of 19 CCPs across Europe in front of public authorities and stakeholders. Recently he coordinated the EACH recommendations for further clarity on EMIR trade reporting requirements. As the representative for CCPs across Europe, he has an indispensable overview of the nature and workings of CCPs, as well as their challenges in the changing post-trade landscape. With CCP Recovery & Resolution currently being drafted, Rafael will be offering thought-provoking insight into the debate as to whether legislation can provide a safety net for a distressed CCP without aggravating the market.
