What changed

EEX issued a customer information notice providing updated admission information, an FAQ, and an intermediary overview for participants seeking to trade under the EU ETS2 carbon market on its platform.

Why it matters

This notice signals that EEX is operationalising market access procedures for EU ETS2, the new emissions trading scheme covering buildings and road transport fuels, which will require compliance entities and intermediaries to complete admission and onboarding steps before they can trade.

MD analysis

The publication of admission criteria, FAQs and an intermediary overview is a standard pre-launch operational step for exchanges introducing a new compliance market. It indicates EEX is building out the participant onboarding infrastructure (membership, KYC, intermediary access channels) required to support EU ETS2 trading, though the source does not specify the underlying legal deadlines or the exact go-live date for ETS2 trading itself.
