      Original language
[ESMA 70-872942901-36 Commodity derivatives Q&A, Q&A 4.15]
The various commodity derivative underlyings within the scope of the C(10) category shall be treated consistently across all provisions concerning commodity derivatives in the MiFID II/MiFIR framework.
The purpose of daily reporting is to monitor for potential breaches of position limits as Article 58(3) of MiFID II stipulates that daily position reporting shall enable monitoring of compliance with Article 57(1) of MiFID II. Therefore, all those commodity derivatives contracts with underlyings that are subject to the position limit regime as specified in Q&A 1277 and Q&A 1524 are also subject to position reporting.
