Lysaker, 11 October2007. Nord Pool Clearing informs clearing members that there were disturbances in the clearing reporting (trade list) during Wednesday 10 October. The cause of the problem has been identified and corrected; hence there will be no implication on the clearing processes. Due to a manual error in testing and verification of new clearing functionality, some trades in the period 5 October to 9 October were transferred from a test environment to the production environment, causing an amount of duplicated trades in the production system. Nord Pool has identified and corrected the actual trades; hence there will be no implications for the clearing processes. Clearing operations will also be verifying all the cleared trades from the last five days. Nord Pool is confident that measures are taken to avoid such instances in the future. In order to give clearing members a reasonable amount of time to confirm yesterday's trade list, Nord Pool Clearing has set the final complaint time for trading Wednesday 10 October to Thursday 11 October 17.30.
