🇬🇧 English

This report reviews how EU rules for commodity derivatives, emission allowances, and related derivatives are working after recent MiFID II changes. It focuses on whether market data, exemptions for non-financial companies, position limits, position management controls, and reporting rules are helping markets function properly. The practical impact is mainly for energy firms, commodity producers, utilities, industrial companies, traders, exchanges, brokers, and regulators. The report does not appear to create immediate new obligations; it sets out the Commission’s assessment and may guide future changes to financial-market rules affecting hedging, trading, and oversight.
