b) OTC equity derivative contracts;
c) OTC foreign exchange derivative contracts;
d) OTC interest rate derivative contracts; and
e) OTC commodity derivative contracts and other OTC derivative contracts not defined under points (a) to (d).

In order to facilitate the process for groups, this form should be used in conjunction with Section C to make a combined notification on behalf of other non-financial counterparties within a group to which the notifying counterparty belongs and which are established in the European Union. In that case the form should list all of the other relevant non-financial entities in Section C. Non-financial counterparties which do not trade OTC derivatives should not be listed.
