2) Wholesale energy trading is limited to professional wholesale traders
3) SRIs are inadequate for potential recipients of KIDs for ECTDs
4) Wholesale energy markets are monitored and regulated markets for professionals
5) MiFID II definition of professional clients as a main reason why an exemption is necessary
