Activities

Main EU Legislative Proposals: Argus Media, a price reporting agency, is a leading independent provider of energy and commodity prices. A number of Argus’ published price assessments have been adopted by market participants for use as independent benchmarks in commodity derivatives contracts. In accordance with Annex II of the EU Benchmark Regulation (BMR), Argus Benchmark Administration was established in 2019 in the Netherlands as an authorised Benchmark Administrator for commodity benchmarks. Argus engages with its regulator and other EU bodies about potential evolution of the regulation.
Communication Activities: From time to time, Argus Media organises events related to energy issues and benchmarks. We brought together our energy experts and policy makers to discuss energy markets prior to MCM legislation in January 2023 and we have conducted educational briefings thereafter. As part of the MCM legislation we provide ACER with LNG price assessment information, and support ACER's LNG expert group. In addition we updated policy makers on draft updates to the MAR regulation. As a publisher of news and analysis, Argus reports on EU policies as they pertain to the energy and commodity markets we follow and assess.
