For the purposes of paragraph 3, an "electronic system" shall mean a system where orders are electronically tradable or where orders are tradable outside the system provided that they are advertised through the given system.

Timestamps referred to in paragraphs 2 and 3 shall, respectively, not diverge by more than one second or millisecond from the Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) issued and maintained by one of the timing centres listed in the latest Bureau International des Poids et Mesures (BIPM) Annual Report on Time Activities.
