Date 16/02/2006

The Tokyo Commodity Exchange (TOCOM) is granted an exemption regarding application of CFTC regulations Part 30 to its member firms by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (71 FR 6759, February 9, 2006).

TOCOM is pleased with the fact that CFTC, by granting this exemption, has acknowledged that the standards for relief have been met and that compliance with applicable Japanese law and TOCOM regulations may be substituted for compliance with those sections of Commodity Exchange Act and regulations.

With the opportunities being granted by the relief, TOCOM is poised to make further efforts to provide sound and transparent market place for all our participants.
