The European Securities and Markets Authority has confirmed that its updated weekly commodity derivatives position reporting framework will go live on 3 September 2026. Market participants are required to submit reports in line with updated technical specifications and validation rules established under XML schema version v2.0.
Implementation Schedule and Technical Specifications
Under the confirmed framework, market participants in European commodity derivatives must submit weekly position reports using XML schema version v2.0. The framework incorporates updated requirements and validation rules designed to standardise reporting across financial markets.
The confirmation of the go-live date follows an earlier decision to postpone the initial rollout. This extension provided regulatory bodies and reporting entities with additional time to complete operational preparations and technical testing ahead of mandatory reporting.
Technical Guidance and Schema Release
To support implementation efforts across affected firms, updated technical documentation has been published. The available materials include detailed reporting instructions and the XML schema package for version 2.0.
Market participants are expected to align internal systems with these technical assets to ensure data validation compliance before the reporting obligation takes effect in September 2026.
