Statement Of CFTC Commissioner J. Christopher Giancarlo, Sponsor Of The CFTC Energy And Environmental Markets Advisory Committee

As sponsor of the CFTC’s Energy and Environmental Markets Advisory Committee (EEMAC), I have notified members that the non-binding report and recommendations issued on February 25, 2016, has been withdrawn. The report was never intended to be a distraction from the substantive policy work of the Committee and the volunteer members who give their time and expertise. I look forward to collaborating with my fellow commissioners to review and improve the workings of all CFTC advisory committees, including the EEMAC.
