Article 57 › 12

ESMA shall develop draft regulatory technical standards to determine: (a) the criteria and methods for determining whether a position qualifies as reducing risks directly relating to commercial activities; (b) the methods to determine when positions of a person are to be aggregated within a group; (c) the criteria for determining whether a contract is an economically equivalent OTC contract to that traded on a trading venue, referred to in paragraph 1, in a way that facilitates the reporting of positions taken in equivalent OTC contracts to the relevant competent authority as determined in Article 58(2); (d) the definition of what constitutes the same commodity derivative and significant volumes under paragraph 6 of this Article; (e) the methodology for aggregating and netting OTC and on-venue commodity derivatives positions to establish the net position for purposes of assessing compliance with the limits. Such methodologies shall establish criteria to determine which positions may be netted against one another and shall not facilitate the build-up of positions in a manner inconsistent with the objectives set out in paragraph 1 of this Article; (f) the procedure setting out how persons may apply for the exemption under the second subparagraph of paragraph 1 of this Article and how the relevant competent authority will approve such applications; (g) the method for calculation to determine the venue where the largest volume of trading in a commodity derivative takes place and significant volumes under paragraph 6 of this Article. ESMA shall submit those draft regulatory technical standards referred to in the first subparagraph to the Commission by 3 July 2015. Power shall be delegated to the Commission to adopt the regulatory technical standards referred to in the first subparagraph in accordance with Articles 10 to 14 of Regulation (EU) No 1095/2010.
