Testimony Before The U.S. House Of Representatives, Committee On Agriculture, Washington, DC - CFTC Commissioner Jill E. Sommers
Date 08/12/2011
Good morning Chairman Lucas, Vice Chairman Goodlatte, Ranking Member Peterson, and members of the Committee. Thank you for inviting me today to discuss the MF Global Bankruptcy. I understand the severe hardship this bankruptcy has caused for customers of MF Global. These customers correctly understood the risks associated with trading futures and options, but never anticipated that their segregated accounts were at risk of suffering losses not associated with trading. Many customers have reached out to me and my staff directly, and we are doing everything we can to get as much of their money back to them as quickly as possible. I have made that my number one priority.

S&P Decision To Put EIB On CreditWatch Negative
Date 08/12/2011
EIB takes note of S&P’s decision, announced on 8 December 2011, to put EIB’s long term AAA rating on CreditWatch negative (its short term rating was reaffirmed at A-1+, the highest on the rating scale). This follows directly from S&P’s decision to put 15 Eurozone countries, notably its AAA members, from among the 27 EU Member State shareholders of EIB, on CreditWatch negative. The announcement leaves room for the rating of EIB to be maintained or downgraded, depending on a forthcoming evaluation by S&P.
