(6)The amendments set out in Directive (EU) 2021/338 require that position limits apply to critical or significant commodity derivatives that are traded on trading venues, and to their economically equivalent OTC (‘EEOTC’) contracts. Critical or significant derivatives are commodity derivatives with an open interest of at least 300 000 lots on average over a one-year period. Due to the critical importance of agricultural commodities for citizens, agricultural commodity derivatives and their EEOTC contracts remain under the position limit regime below 300 000 lots. The liquidity threshold from which position limits start to apply to agricultural commodity derivatives is to be specified in this Regulation and should only be considered as trading in significant volume on a trading venue if they exceed the liquidity threshold for a sufficient period of time.
