Change of trading parameters for French interest-bearing and non-interest-bearing government bonds

Trading platform Eurex Bonds will change the trading parameters for French government bonds.
Effective 6 November 2012, order sizes for French interest-bearing and non-interest-bearing government bonds will be adjusted as follows:

Non-interest-bearing French government bonds (BTF):
• Minimum order and quoting size: EUR 1 million. Sizes of orders/quotes larger than the minimum size must be a multiple of EUR 0.5 million.

Interest-bearing French government bonds (BTNS, FRTR):
• Minimum order and quoting size: EUR 2 million. Sizes of orders/quotes larger than the minimum size must be a multiple of EUR 0.5 million.

A potential surplus in the order book may be smaller than the minimum order/quote sizes. Surpluses are tradable by entering admissible orders or quotes.
Affected instruments are part of instrument group EGOV.
The list of instruments is preliminary and may change until the effective date due to new issues in the interim.
