  • Opening Statement CFTC Commissioner Jill E. Sommers, Fourth Open Meeting To Consider Final Rules Pursuant To The Dodd-Frank Act

    Date 08/09/2011

    Good Morning. Thank you Mr. Chairman and thank you to the teams that worked on the implementation proposals before us today, and to the Office of International Affairs for their hard work on the IOSCO Principles for the Regulation and Supervision of Commodity Derivatives Markets. I appreciate all of your efforts and dedication to getting these proposals ready and before us today. The IOSCO Commodity Markets Task Force was created in 2008 and is co-chaired by the CFTC. Since then our staff has done an outstanding job of identifying issues, working with industry, and highlighting inconsistencies with our fellow regulators. International coordination of regulations and regulatory objectives is critical as we move forward. Without coordinated and consistent international regulatory approaches, we run the risk of doing great damage to U.S. futures, option and swap markets. This report goes a long way to avoid such an outcome.

  • “Waking Up To Reality” - Opening Statement By Commissioner Scott D. O’Malia: Open Meeting On Proposed Rulemakings On Implementation Of Mandatory Clearing, Trading, Documentation And Margining Rules

    Date 08/09/2011

    Mr. Chairman, I would like to begin by thanking you for scheduling this hearing to discuss the important issue of implementation of our Dodd-Frank rulemakings. I would also like to thank the team responsible for preparing the two proposals before us. I understand that these proposals aim to provide greater certainty to the market as to when the Commission will impose the clearing and trading mandates, as well as when the Commission will require compliance with certain documentation and margining rules. I am grateful that the Commission has attempted to provide more certainty. However, I fear that the market will find that these proposals raise more questions than they answer. These proposals fail to facilitate a transition to the new regulatory regime in the orderly manner that the market – as well as the Commission – desires.
