initially left empty, the reporting entity is expected to fill it in when the instrument is going to be terminated. This also includes the cases when the given instrument has matured/expired, i.e. where fields 15 (maturity date) or 24 (expiry date) are applicable to the given instrument and are populated in the report.\n\nThe termination date should be earlier than or equal to the maturity/expiry date in the cases where the maturity/expiry date is populated.\n\n***\n\n**Source:** [ESMA original document](https://www.esma.europa.eu/publications-data/questions-answers/1684)\n"}
