Document Title:Market Oversight Draft Recommendations
Comment Period:Monday, 05 April 2010 through Friday, 30 April 2010
Document Description:

The WCI Partner jurisdictions invite stakeholder comments on these Draft Recommendations on Market Oversight. The Markets Committee’s “market oversight” task is examining measures to ensure that the allowance and offset credit trading market is organized properly to operate reliably and prevent or minimize manipulation.  This task reflects the commitment of the WCI Partner jurisdictions to provide appropriate safeguards and oversight of the allowance and offset credit trading markets. 

The Committee identified twelve policy decisions and examined the background, options, and pros and cons for each. The Committee welcomes comment on all the Draft Recommendations, individually and collectively, and in particular on:
  • Whether the tools available to WCI Partner jurisdictions for market oversight have been completely and correctly identified;
  • Whether the Draft Recommendations would correctly maximize the environmental and economic benefit to the public and support WCI’s Principles of Market Oversight;
  • Whether the Committee should recommend collection of derivatives position information from market participants, including on over-the-counter derivatives; and if so, what of that information to disclose to the public; and
  • The Draft Recommendation to require secondary market trades to use a central limit order book.
