In its session on March 9, 2006 the Exchange Council of Eurex Deutschland approved changes and revisions of regulations with regard to Market Maker admission which will become effective on May 1, 2006. The approval of the Administrative Council of Eurex Zürich was obtained in circulation procedure terminating April 18, 2006. Section 3.3 of the Exchange Rules for Eurex Deutschland and Eurex Zürich (attachment 4) will be simplified so that in future Market Maker licenses will be granted in general and not for a specific product only.
Exchange members which are already admitted to Market-Making will be informed via separate mail about how the changes will affect them.
