(b) whether the changes introduced by Regulation (EU) 2024/2987 have reduced the time to market for new clearing services and products without negatively impacting the risk for the CCPs, their clearing members or their clients;
(c) whether the introduction of the possibility for CCPs to implement directly changes as referred to in Article 15a has negatively impacted their risk profile or has increased the overall financial stability risks for the Union, and whether that possibility should be amended.
ESMA shall submit a report on the outcome of that assessment to the European Parliament, the Council and the Commission.

(c) the exemption has resulted in any circumvention of the clearing obligation referred to in Article 4.
Within 18 months of transmission of the report referred to in the first subparagraph, the Commission shall prepare a report on the aspects presented by ESMA in its report. The Commission shall submit its report to the European Parliament and to the Council, together with any appropriate proposals.
