Signs of French shift on EU hedge funds

October 6, 2010--A deal on pan-European rules for hedge funds and private equity funds moved closer after France dropped its outright opposition to a key element of the European Union’s proposals.

But the French concession was made subject to strict conditions, ensuring that there will be more lengthy negotiations ahead.

“This is progress but not yet a breakthrough,” said one diplomat.

Until Wednesday, Paris had been adamantly opposed to draft legislation that would give non-EU fund managers pan-EU marketing rights, or a so-called passport, provided certain conditions were met.

Bond Trading to Restart on Xetra

October 6, 2010--As of Monday, 11 October, around 700 corporate bonds will again be tradable via the fully electronic trading system Xetra. Due to an interim injunction issued by the Frankfurt Regional Court on 5 January, the securities had to be suspended from Xetra trading. Following the court hearing on 5 October, the Higher Regional Court of Frankfurt lifted the interim injunction issued by the Frankfurt Regional Court.

Deutsche Börse introduced the specialist model trading around 700 bonds on Xetra on 1 December 2009. This trading model combines the advantages of fully electronic trading with the advantages of specialist support. Two trading participants who had not qualified for the function of Xetra specialist in the performance-related selection procedure, obtained an interim injunction against bond trading on Xetra from the Frankfurt Regional Court at the end of 2009. Deutsche Börse's position was not heard at that time.

The aim of the selection process, which was made on the basis of set criteria, was to offer investors high price quality, low costs and a high execution quality of their orders. With its fully electronic trading platform Xetra, Deutsche Börse aims to offer investors from across Europe best prices and comprehensive service while further developing its competitive position. Around 250 banks and brokerage firms from 19 countries are connected to Xetra.
