Keynote Address Of CFTC Commissioner J. Christopher Giancarlo Before The 7th Annual Capital Link Global Commodities, Energy & Shipping Forum, New York, NY, Good Intentions Do Not Always Lead To Good Regulations

Date 16/09/2015

Introduction

Good morning ladies and gentlemen. Thank you for your warm welcome.

Before I begin, let me say that my remarks reflect my own views and do not necessarily constitute the views of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC or Commission), my fellow CFTC commissioners or the CFTC staff.

It is a pleasure to attend this conference that brings together so many important participants in the global commodity, energy and shipping markets. As some of you know, before I became a regulator I served for over a dozen years as a senior executive of a firm that operated markets for these important asset classes, including wet and dry freight contracts. So, I have an appreciation of the issues that you are discussing today. I also know how the business world approaches market issues. That is, with pragmatism. Problems are solved and commercial needs are met with smart thinking, lots of careful planning and precise execution.

EEX: Letter By The Energy Industry To Commissioner Lord Hill, DG FISMA - "Ensuring Effective And Efficient Regulation Of European Commodity Derivative Markets”

Date 16/09/2015

In relation to MiFID II, there is a need to ensure the ancillary exemption framework incorporates an appropriate assessment in relation to the overall group business, consistent with the intent of the legislators. The present proposals from ESMA do not achieve this and also have a number of other serious deficiencies (including the approach to defining legitimate hedging activity and the starting year for assessment against the thresholds). Together, these problems will result in a large number of firms being brought into the scope of MiFID even though their activity in commodity derivative markets is, by any reasonable assessment, ancillary to their wider group business.
