Eurex
As part of the new functionality introduced with Eurex Release 14.0 on November 7, 2011, Eurex Clearing introduced the FIXML Interface as a new optional interface. The FIXML Interface supports the FIXML industry standard and will replace VALUES API as clearing interface in Q2/2013.
The implementation of the new FIXML Interface uses an incremental development methodology which allows earlier delivery of the new features to Members, independent from releases. As a result, the individual features will be delivered to Members over an extended period of time. Further information about the planned timeline can be found in Eurex circular 242/11.
The introduction dates for the Give-Up/Take-Up functionality are as follows:
The FIXML Interface specifications are available in the Member Section on the Eurex website under the following path:
