International Authorizations for NYMEX ACCESS® and NYMEX ClearPort® Clearing & Trading Obtained In Several Jurisdictions
Recent efforts to expand the jurisdictions available to users of NYMEX ACCESS® and NYMEX ClearPort® Clearing & Trading have been successful in that NYMEX has recently added Belgium, Cayman Islands, Cyprus, Czech Republic, France, Gibraltar, Iceland, Latvia, Malta, Norway, and Slovenia to the list of countries that have authorized the use of the electronic trading systems within their borders. A complete list of jurisdictions in which NYMEX has obtained authorization for NYMEX ACCESS® and NYMEX ClearPort® use include: Belgium, Bermuda, Cayman Islands, Cyprus, Czech Republic, France, Gibraltar, Hong Kong, Iceland, Ireland, Japan, Latvia, Malta, Norway, Singapore, Slovenia, Switzerland, UK, and US (including all US Territories).

In pursuit of continued expansion by NYMEX of the NYMEX ACCESS® and NYMEX ClearPort® electronic trading systems these efforts will continue. Contact has already been made with approximately 50 additional jurisdictions. Since the process for each jurisdiction differs, the order in which authorization is obtained will depend on each country's requirements and response time.

Additionally, each jurisdiction may contain some limitations regarding use of the electronic trading platforms so you should consult the web site for up-to-date information on jurisdictions which can be viewed by following the link on "Jurisdiction Limitations" on the NYMEX web site. http://www.nymex.com/neon_main.aspx.
