EU to delay UK access decision for euro clearing due to Internal Markets Bill – Reuters

The European Union is planning to delay the decision on allowing the UK to continue clearing euro transactions for EU-based clients due to concerns over the UK's intention to break the Withdrawal Agreement with the Internal Markets Bill, Reuters reported on Monday, citing a derivatives industry source.

The EU is expected to make the decision on clearing toward the end of September, the source further told Reuters.
