In Eurex circular 145/13, Eurex Exchange announced the mandatory requirement to respond to quote requests in standard option series within the AMM/PMM schemes, as of 1 August 2013.

Due to the current market situation, the Management Board of Eurex Deutschland and the Executive Board of Eurex Zürich have decided to align the test phase for RFQs (response to quote request) in standard option series with the test phase for the implementation of RFQs in option strategies. Accordingly, the mandatory requirement to respond to quote requests in standard option series will be effective as of 1 November 2013.
