ArticleΒ 2 - Accountability levels

1.

As part of their position management controls, trading venues offering trading in commodity derivatives shall set accountability levels in the spot month as defined in Article 2, point (3) of Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2022/1302 and in the other months as defined in Article 2, point (4) of Delegated Regulation (EU) 2022/1302 for commodity derivatives made available for trading that are physically settled or can be physically settled.

2.

For the purpose of paragraph 1, an accountability level is the level of the net position held in a commodity derivative by an end position holder or parent undertaking that, when exceeded, may trigger a request for additional information by the trading venue in accordance with paragraph 3.

3.

When a net position held by an end position holder or a parent undertaking in a commodity derivative referred to in paragraph 1 exceeds the accountability level set for the spot month or for the other months in accordance with paragraph 1 of this Article, the trading venue shall, where deemed appropriate obtain information as to the nature and purpose of the position held in that commodity derivative.

When assessing whether it is appropriate to obtain information, the trading venue shall take into account the frequency by which the accountability levels are exceeded by the same end position holder or parent undertaking, the magnitude of the excess and other relevant information already available.
