Revision protocol of the guidance to report transactions on OTC derivatives (ref CESR/10-661)

October 8, 2010--1. Introduction
In July 2010, CESR issued guidance to indicate to investment firms in Europe how to report transactions on OTC derivative instruments. Due to the speedy evolution of the OTC market and the number of other work streams in the European regulatory area, it was felt that CESR needed to define a revision protocol for this guidance to ensure their smooth and efficient revision when necessary.

This document aims to describe the main elements of this protocol as well as the different steps required before publication of a revised version of the guidance.

2. Protocol
This protocol contains three main phases:

- Initiation of the revision of the guidance

- Work stream to update the guidance

- Publication of the updated version of the document

CESR-How to report transactions on OTC derivative instruments

October 8, 2010--I. Introduction
A. Transaction reporting in Europe
Competent authorities (“CAs”) throughout the European Economic Area are committed to detecting market abuse and maintaining the integrity of their markets. The receipt and examination of transaction reports are essential elements in enabling CAs to detect market abuse and the Market in Financial Instrument Directive (MiFID) gives CAs the power and obligation to collect transaction reports on instruments admitted to trading on regulated markets.

However, many CAs have noted that there are a range of OTC (over the counter) financial instruments that mirror instruments admitted to trading on regulated markets that can equally be used for the purposes of market abuse. Some CAs extended the collection of transaction reports to include OTC instruments whose value is derived from instruments admitted to trading on a regulated market to enhance their ability to detect suspicious activity and maintain the integrity of their markets. Many other competent authorities are currently investigating this option as well.

ELIX – The new European Electricity Index launched by EPEX Spot and EEX

October 7, 2010-- EPEX Spot and the European Energy Exchange (EEX) will launch a new European Electricity Index. Referred to as ELIX, the new index will be based on the actual market orders in the EPEX Spot auction for the market areas France, Germany/Austria and Switzerland

ELIX is equal to the uncongested price, which means a price under the hypothesis of unlimited cross-border capacity be-tween these market areas. Similar to the existing day ahead market results it will be calculated for every hour of the delivery day. In addition, the average value for base (ELIX Day Base) and peak hours (ELIX Day Peak) will be calculated and published.
