The CFTC filed a motion to submit the supplemental declaration of CFTC Assistant General Counsel Martin B. White (the “declaration”) and two additional documents that, in the words of the CFTC, contradict “the positions SIFMA and other Plaintiffs have taken on key legal points in this case.”  <\/span>Specifically, the two exhibits filed include (i) a document titled “Note Regarding Non-U.S. Affiliate Participation in Swaps Market” (“SIFMA’s Note”), and (ii) a copy of an article published by POLITICO Pro <\/em>titled “Banks Outline Pushback on Swap Guarantee Worries.”<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

According to the declaration, SIFMA’s Note states that Congress “set standards” for cross-border swaps regulation, which contradicts the claims of SIFMA, ISDA and the Institution of International Bankers (“Associations”) in the Cross-Border Guidance case.  Additionally, the CFTC stated, SIFMA’s Note concedes that the Cross-Border Guidance is “guidance,” which differs from the Associations’ claim that the Cross-Border Guidance “is a rule in disguise that extends the Title VII Rules overseas.”  <\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

The CFTC also claimed that the apparent purpose of SIFMA’s Note is to suggest to its members a public explanation for a new business practice, in which U.S. parents of overseas affiliates remove guarantees from swaps with foreign counterparties.  The CFTC stated that this indicates that the Associations’ claim to injury from the Cross-Border Guidance may not be true.<\/p>\n
