Bodies of the stock exchange
Committees that are directly responsible for performing the functions of the stock exchange
As stipulated in the 1994 amendment to the German Stock Exchange Act, the bodies of the stock exchange comprise the Exchange Council, the Exchange Operating Board, Market Surveillance, the Sanctions Committee and the Arbitration Panel of the stock exchange.
The Stock Exchange Act and the Stock Exchange Rules and Regulations require that the admission of securities to trading be handled by two separate exchange bodies: the Admissions Office the Official Market and the Admissions Committee for securities not listed in the Official Market.
The relevant provisions can be found in sections 1, 3, 9, 28, 30, 37, 72 of the Stock Exchange Act.
