SUBSCRIBER NOTE: Platts to launch European gasoline cargoes in eWindow

Effective November 19, Platts will launch CIF Northwest Europe gasoline cargoes, FOB Northwest Europe West African gasoline cargoes and FOB Mediterranean premium unleaded cargoes in the eWindow communication tool for its Market on Close assessment process.

From that date, Platts will publish bids, offers and intentions to trade in its MOC process for the three cargo assessments through eWindow.

Market participants who wish to continue communicating indications to Platts via Yahoo Messenger, telephone or other means are welcome to do so.
