The European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) has issued today a report on C6 energy derivatives and related obligations under the European Market Infrastructure Regulation (EMIR).
These derivatives are important for firms trading energy derivative contracts on coal and oil as well as for national regulator supervisors who enforce EMIR requirements.
The report assesses the adequacy of C6 energy derivative contracts, which currently benefit from a special regime.
ESMA has developed this report to provide input to the European Commissions regarding the assessment of the current special regime for C6 energy derivative contracts and whether this regime should be maintained.
