Today, the District Court (Court) of The Hague forced Euronext to accept competition between exchanges, rejecting the demand of Euronext to block competition between exchanges. This is clear from the judgment of the Court in proceedings filed by Euronext against competitor TOM. The Court states that TOM is allowed to continue trading AEX options and may continue using ticker symbols for single stock equity options that are similar to the ticker symbols of Euronext. Furthermore, the court states that TOM needs to have its own product-introduction policy; in anticipation of this, TOM has already introduced its own policy as of 13 June 2014, including the creation of new strikes and maturities. The court has not prevented TOM from using the term Best Execution for marketing purposes, but has found that no guarantees can be made by using the term ‘always best price’.
