Joint Concurring Statement Of CFTC Commissioners Dan M. Berkovitz And Rostin Behnam - Order Of Exemption Of Certain Approved Exchanges And Recognised Market Operators Authorized Within Singapore From The Swap Execution Facility Registration Requirements

Date 13/03/2019

The derivatives markets are global.  Many markets and products trade 24/7 with the opening and closing of markets following the sun.  The trading day begins in Europe, then moves to the U.S., and as our markets close, traders in Asia take over.  Banks, traders, and market operators domiciled in the U.S. are major participants and competitors in all of these markets.  It is important that we as regulators be vigilant in our efforts to avoid allowing risk to develop in other markets around the globe that could be brought back to the U.S., but in so doing we also should avoid unnecessarily impeding proper market activity.  This consideration favors a mutual recognition of markets with other countries where appropriate, effective regulation and oversight exist.

Date 13/03/2019

Thank you, Mr. President.

Good morning to each and every one of you, on this particularly serious morning in the long process of negotiations.

My first words, Madame Minister, Mr. President, ladies and gentlemen, are to tell you again, on behalf of the team I am honoured to lead, with the trust of President Juncker, my gratitude – which is sincere and long lasting – for the trust that the Parliament has shown us, and has shown me. This trust does not fall from the sky, it is not artificial, it is not given like a blank cheque, but it is founded on dialogue and transparency, since the very first day. It will remain that way.

INTRODUCTION

Thank you, Walt.  Good morning everyone.

It is an honor to speak to you in what is almost certainly my last appearance here as CFTC Chairman.

In the next hour, Heath Tarbert, the President’s nominee to succeed me, will testify in Washington before the Senate Agriculture Committee.  I am sure he will do exceptionally well.  I expect his confirmation and arrival at the Commission sometime this summer.  I know Heath Tarbert and I know he will make a superb CFTC Chairman.
