Dear Exchange Participant,
As already announced with our Customer Information dated 16 June 2023, EEX will launch new functionalities within the Member Section in early September 2023.
Alongside the new features explained below, we want to inform you about a profound change to ordering technical infrastructure or setting up auxiliary features. The ownership of the technical access to the Member Section will be shifted from memberportal@eex.com to each exchange participant individually. This measure will empower you to manage your exchange connectivity yourselves. Furthermore, it facilitates the seamless and paperless integration of admission processes to work at your utmost convenience. Rest assured, if you require help handling the Member Section, the Technology and Customer Care team will assist you.
We recently asked you to appoint a Central Coordinator who will receive access to the Member Section. The appointed person will be approached by e-mail directly, receiving additional information and training material on the functions and tasks within the portal. The new Central Coordinator will also be informed when access will be made available.
The following EEX-related processes will then have to be performed within the portal:
- Exchange Trader (Assistant) admission and termination applications
The application process within the portal will be replacing the current form-based process. There will be a transition period for applications already in process, so if an application form was submitted to EEX already, the application does not need to be repeated within the portal.
Please note that the provision of the MiFID II short code/long code mapping via upload in the Member Section is a pre-condition for a new Exchange Trader (Assistant) admission application.
- Technical Infrastructure order and configuration processes
Within the portal you will be able to order and configure the following technical infrastructure that is required to access the EEX trading systems or for data upload and reception purposes:
-
- T7 GUI Certificates
- C7 GUI Certificates
- ETI/FIX Sessions
- C7 FIXML
- Leased Lines
- Common Upload Engine (CUE)
- Common Report Engine (CRE)
- Upload of MiFID II short code/long lode and algorithmic trading data
Please note the changes to the MiFID II data provision process as of 20 November 2023 as detailed hereafter:
EEX plans to improve the short code/long code and algorithmic identifier upload GUI in a stepwise approach. The first step is mainly dedicated to technical changes, building a basis for further functional improvements in later releases and will come into effect on 20 November 2023. The technical access will be streamlined, so that using of the Common Upload Engine (CUE) will be the only option to upload short code/long code and algorithmic trading data in the future. This can be reached either by direct technical provision to the SFTP CUE server, as today, or by using the GUI in a manual way. Both options require to have a CUE access established. Please ensure that you have configured this access before 20 November 2023.
In case you are already using the SFTP solution via CUE, no change is required on your side. Uploads via API will be decommissioned on this day and not be supported beyond.
Please do not hesitate to contact us in case of any further questions.
Yours sincerely,
EEX Customer Care EEX Customer Connectivity
