"Mr President, when the choice is between either ‘safe’ or ‘maybe it is ok’, we have to opt for ‘safe’. There has been a lot of publicity about commodity derivatives and food speculation; its position management has been too flexible. I have never had any problems with the notion of fixed position limits, as long as in emergencies they can be tightened if cornering happens or varied if a major market position has to be rescued. One day, I remind you again, we will have automated real-time transaction mapping, enabling much better interrogation of data without it being a drag on resources. It would also enable comprehensive, faster monitoring in crucial areas like food speculation, and that is why I pursue openness and FRAND licensing in standards and technology and regret that a little more has not been done in this report.
Good work has been done on consumer protection, clamping down on inducements for giving advice to investors. Citizens need to be sure that they are getting the best advice for them, not being pushed in a direction for the adviser’s benefit. But ultimately a total ban has to be the way forward."@en1
