Opening Statement Of CFTC Commissioner Jill E. Sommers To Consider Final Trade Execution Rules And Anti-Disruptive Trading Practices Guidance Pursuant To The Dodd-Frank Act

Date 16/05/2013

It has been an incredible learning experience for me over the past three years, and although I think the Commission would have reached different conclusions on many of the foundational rules if we would have been consulted earlier in the process, I really appreciate all the time the staff has dedicated to this very challenging and often times overwhelming task we have been given.
