The European Parliament have published the final text of the Benchmark Regulation, which can be found here. The rules are intended to further regulate the management of benchmarks, in addition to the general anti abuse measures found in rules such as MAR and REMIT. In addition to giving NCAs sanctioning powers, the regulations set out rules for the administration of and contribution to the setting of benchmarks, including those applying to the energy and commodity markets.

The European Parliament have already approved the rules. They will apply towards the end of 2017.
