Q1: Do market participants support removing the special process of collection and
distribution of penalties by CCPs for cleared transactions? Please provide
justifications, if possible supported by quantitative data.

As a market participant, i do not support the removing of the special process of collection and distribution of penalties by CCPs. In fact, i would like them strengthened.
Penalties are mere cost of doing business for theses big institutions stacking FTDs left and right to make a profit.
Markets are getting spoiled with IOU's and FTDs and the fact that the idea of removing penalties is even being proposed is a statement on how greedy and corrupt the system is.
You dont need quantitative data to support how f***** up our markets are. 
Making it so that the seller would be less bothered to deliver goods paid for by another market participant is a step in the wrong direction.

Q2: Do market participants support amending Article 19 of the CDR on Settlement
Discipline as suggested in Annex IV? Please provide justifications, if possible
supported by quantitative data.

As a Market Participant, I do not support amending Article 19 of the CDR on Settlement Discipline as suggested in Annex IV. 
As stated in the Consultation Paper: preliminary discussions with market participants showed that imbalances may appear when the delivery of 
securities by a clearing member to the CCP is too close to the CSD cut-off time for Delivery versus Payment (DvP) settlement instructions. 
Or in short, the time CCP and CSD have is long, but they still often fail to deliver a share in a timely manner. 
It’s like buying a banana and wait for penalties to hurt the seller before he delivers them, sadly bananas X days later are already rotten.

Q3: Do market participants support delaying the application of the envisaged
amendment by six months after the publication of the amending RTS in the Official
Journal of the EU? If not, what would be appropriate implementation period in your
view? Please provide explanations.

As a Market Participant, I do not support delaying the application of the envisaged amendment by six months after the publication of the amending RTS in the Official Journal of the EU.
I think Failures to Deliver should not exist, and that the penalties should increase. Please fix this big cassino run by CSD and its partners.
