[NAME] will update.  10/5 Derivative trades need Central bank's approval. Korean law may require amendments to ETA-awaiting legal advice.  11/3 The only possible amendment to the ETA would be to recite that LME Contracts are conducted through Enron Metals Limited (Korean Branch), the local futures broker.  LME Contracts qualify as "overseas futures" under the Korean futures law, and accordingly must be conducted through a local futures broker. Enron Metals Limited (Korean Branch) is a local futures broker and we are intending to approach the regulator (the FSS) for a ruling that we can effect LME Contracts via EOL "through" Enron Metals Limited (Korean Branch).  No issues for physical metals trades. 12/08 Meeting with regulator being arranged
