13 II. Rules and procedures of the SSS It is important that SSSs have clear rules and procedures governing all major aspects of their operations. If participants have access to these rules and procedures, they will be able to form clear expectations about the actions of the SSS and will be able to use their understanding to make decisions on that basis. This is particularly important with regard to the resolution of failures to settle or other potential disruptions to the operation of the SSS. The rules and procedures also typically describe the structures and processes for taking decisions that are at the core of any organization s corporate governance. For SSS operators, the integrity of the decision-making processes and the means for communicating decisions is important to the level of confidence participants have in the system s ability to manage risk fairly and effectively. The questions below focus broadly on how participants can obtain copies of the SSS s rules and procedures, how participants can provide input to the rules and procedures, how they are notified of changes, the applicability of the rules and procedures to the SSS as well as its participants, and the circumstances under which the rules and procedures can be overridden. Taken together, the questions are intended to provide participants with an understanding of the role that the system s rules and procedures play within the operation of the SSS. A. Does the SSS maintain a complete list of the rules and procedures governing the rights and obligations of participants and the duties of the SSS? The rights and obligations of Depozitarul Central s participants are determined in the Rulebook of Depozitarul Central. The relation between participants and Depozitarul Central is governed by contractual agreements. Standard agreements are published on the company website. Depozitarul Central had implemented all necessary internal procedures related to its own duties and in relation with the rights and obligations and duties of the participants. The internal procedures are revised and updated on regular basis and every time is necessary. The most relevant aspects, with direct impact on the rights and obligations of the participants, are provided in the Depozitarul Central Rulebook, published on the company website. 1. How can participants obtain a copy of the rules and procedures? The Rulebook is available from Depozitarul Central s proprietary communication system, its official website or directly from the company both in Romanian and English. 13

14 Before becoming a Depozitarul Central s participant, customers are provided with all necessary documentation. 2. Does other documentation provided to participants (e.g. user guides) have the same status as the rules and procedures? Yes. Other documentation (for example technical procedures) provided to participants does have the same status as the Rules. 3.

According to the topic of each user group, the key - staff of investments firms, custodian agents and issuers are involved in the setting up the market practices for settlement and reconciliation, corporate actions and in the implementation of European Standards in the Romanian market. 14

15 B. Are the rules and procedures binding on the SSS as well as its participants? Under what conditions and on whose authority can written rules and procedures be waived or suspended by the SSS? Rules and procedures are binding on both Depozitarul Central and its participants. Since all the applicable rules and procedures issued by Depozitarul Central are prior approved by FSA and/or NBR, all the waivers or suspension period should be submitted to the same authorities before entering in force. Usually, these measures are considered when transitional periods are needed in order to implement new rules, standards or other technical developments as a result of changes in the secondary legislation. 15

The different types of membership that are available as well as the requirements for admission as a participant should be understood. A knowledge of the account structure of the SSS is also important for an informed evaluation of the system. Participants should understand whether this structure allows or require the segregation of their customers cash or securities in separate account or sub- accounts at the SSS. This section addresses the issues as well as the procedures for and consequences of terminating participation in the SSS. Because of loss-sharing or other arrangements, termination of membership may not extinguish all obligations of participants with respect to the SSS. General limitation on SSS liability to participants are the subject of the final question in this section. These questions are obviously important in enabling participants to establish the magnitude of their exposures to different risks associated with the SSS.
