(section 2.6 Eurex Trading Conditions)
(1) Orders and Quotes relating to the same Instrument or Combined Instrument may, in case they could immediately be executed against each other, neither be entered knowingly by an Exchange Trader or several Exchange Traders of an Admitted Company (a “Cross Trade”) nor pursuant to a prior understanding between Exchange Traders of two different admitted companies (a “Pre-Arranged Trade”), unless the conditions according to Paragraph 2 have been fulfilled. The same shall apply for the entry of Orders as part of a Quote.
(2) A Cross Trade or a Pre-Arranged Trade is admissible if a participant in a Cross Trade or a Pre-Arranged Trade Eurex Trading System, announces his intention to execute a corresponding number of Contracts as Cross Trades or Pre-Arranged Trades in the Order Book (“Trade Request”).
