(19) In order to ensure the further development of euro-denominated commodity markets in the Union, the power to adopt acts in accordance with Article 290 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union should be delegated to the Commission in respect of all of the following: the procedure by which persons are able to apply for an exemption for positions resulting from transactions undertaken to fulfil obligations to provide liquidity; the procedure by which a financial entity that is part of a predominantly commercial group is able to apply for a hedging exemption for positions held by that financial entity that are objectively measurable as reducing risks directly relating to the commercial activities of the non-financial entities of that predominantly commercial group; the clarification of the content of position management controls; and the development of criteria for establishing when an activity is to be considered to be ancillary to the main business at group level. It is of particular importance that the Commission carry out appropriate consultations during its preparatory work, including at expert level, and that those consultations be conducted in accordance with the principles laid down in the Interinstitutional Agreement of 13 April 2016 on Better Law-Making OJ L 123, 12.5.2016, p. 1. . In particular, to ensure equal participation in the preparation of delegated acts, the European Parliament and the Council receive all documents at the same time as Member States’ experts, and their experts systematically have access to meetings of Commission expert groups dealing with the preparation of delegated acts.
