Opening Statement Of CFTC Commissioner J. Christopher Giancarlo Before The CFTC Technology Advisory Committee Meeting

I thank Chairman Massad for convening today’s meeting of the Technology Advisory Committee (TAC or Committee) that last met over twenty months ago. It is important that we reestablish this Committee to build upon the crucial work of the previous TAC. In fact, two of today’s topics – automated trading and swaps data reporting – were extensively discussed at previous TAC meetings.
