(Article 58(1) of Directive 2014/65/EU)

1. For the purpose of the weekly reports referred to in Art 58(1)(a) of Directive 2014/65/EU, the obligation for a trading venue to make public such a report shall apply when both of the following two thresholds are met:

(a) 20 open position holders exist in a given contract on a given trading venue; and

(b) the absolute amount of the gross long or short volume of total open interest expressed in the number of lots of the relevant commodity derivative is equal to, or exceeds, 10 000 lots. 

For emission allowances and derivatives thereof, point (b) shall not apply.

2. The threshold set out in point (a) of paragraph 1 shall apply in aggregate on the basis of all of the categories of persons regardless of the numbers of position holders in any single category of persons.

3. For contracts where there are fewer than five position holders in a given category of persons, the aggregate long and short positions, changes thereto since the previous report, the percentage of the total open interest in that category and the number of position holders in that category shall not be published.
