Amendments to the Contract Specifications for Futures Contracts and Options Contracts at Eurex Deutschland and Eurex Zürich

This circular outlines amendments to the Contract Specifications for Futures Contracts and Options Contracts at Eurex Deutschland and Eurex Zürich as part of the Rules and Regulations of Eurex Deutschland and Eurex Zürich AG (collectively: the Eurex Exchanges). These changes are made in the course of the legal migration of Eurex Clearing AG’s Trade-Entry-Services (TES) into the Rules and Regulations of the Eurex Exchanges (cf. Eurex Circular 033/17).

As a consequence the TES Conditions will cease to exist simultaneously to the entry into force of the amended sections of the Rules and Regulations of the Eurex Exchanges.

The amended sections of the Contract Specifications are attached to this circular.

The amendments will come into effect on 10 May 2017.
