Details

This timely book provides a detailed analysis of the regulatory landscape of energy derivatives trading in the EU. Liebrich Hiemstra argues that current supervision of the sector is too opaque and identifies how more effective legal remedies can be created to safeguard important legal values.

Analysing the intersection of the energy and financial sectors, this book references key judgments from the EU Court of Justice to examine the interactions between energy derivatives supervisory bodies and market participants active in energy trading. Hiemstra explores the tension between energy derivatives trading as a cross-border activity, and a legislative framework for the sector characterised by national supervision and enforcement. The book outlines how this leads to ineffective supervision, particularly in the area of information sharing, with market participants obliged to disclose business-sensitive information. It gives practical recommendations to advance legislation and regulation in the field and protect the field from increasing energy sector volatility.

EU Supervision of Energy Derivative Trading will be essential reading for scholars of energy law, financial law, and EU supervision and practitioners in this field. It will also be an invaluable resource for supervisory agencies looking to improve regulatory frameworks.
