European
Commission
|
The European Union (EU) is a family of democratic European
countries, committed to working together for peace and

states, but it is more than any other international
organisation. The EU is, in fact, unique. Its Member
States have set up common institutions to which they
delegate some of their sovereignty so that decisions
on specific matters of joint interest can be made democratically
at European level.This pooling of sovereignty is also
called "European integration". The historical
roots of the European Union lie in the Second World
War. The idea of European integration was conceived
to prevent such killing and destruction from ever happening
again. It was first proposed by the French Foreign Minister
Robert Schuman in a speech on 9 May 1950. This date,
the "birthday" of what is now the EU, is celebrated
annually as Europe Day.

National Futures
Association
|
Self-regulation has a proud heritage in the futures
industry, dating back to the mid 1800s. For more than
one hundred years, futures exchanges have successfully
regulated their members and the business conducted on
their trading floors. However, in the early 1970s, a
series of economic events brought dramatic changes to
the U.S. futures industry. Global demand for agricultural
products grew while supplies dwindled, resulting in
wide price fluctuations. New contracts on commodities
such as metals, lumber and currencies attracted a flood
of new market participants and sharply increased trading
volume. With growth came unethical business practices,
and the industry's reputation was threatened. Congress
recognized a need for additional regulation and enacted
legislation in 1974 establishing the Commodity Futures
Trading Commission (CFTC), an independent federal regulatory
agency with exclusive jurisdiction over futures trading.
