  • Non-EEA Exchange traded derivatives with underlying on an EEA market.
  • OTC Instruments with underlying on an EEA venue

This data will be delivered in a consolidated file, constructed from a variety of sources, including taking direct from exchange sources, vendor feeds and internal reference data sources.
