3.The rules provided for in paragraph 2 shall be replaced by the rules below two weeks after the Governing Council of the ECB has determined that an agreement has been signed between the Eurosystem CBs and the Connected NCBs, on the one hand, and all CSDs participating in T2S at the date of such agreement, on the other hand, on the provision of information and liability.
(a)For all transactions settling on DCAs and which are subject to matching of two separate transfer orders, such transfer orders are deemed entered into TARGET2-ECB at the moment at which they have been declared compliant with the technical rules of T2S by the T2S Platform and irrevocable at the moment the transaction has been given the status “matched” on the T2S Platform; or
(b)As an exception to point (a), for transactions involving one participating CSD having a separate matching component where transfer orders are sent directly to that participating CSD to be matched in its separate matching component, transfer orders are deemed entered into TARGET2-ECB at the moment at which they have been declared compliant with the technical rules of T2S by that participating CSD and irrevocable from the moment the transaction has been given the status “matched” on the T2S Platform. A list of CSDs for which this point (b) applies is available on the website of the ECB.
