LONDON, Nov 8 (Reuters) - The London Metal Exchange said on Monday it has not lodged a complaint with Britain's Financial Services Authority (FSA) over plans to launch physical base metal exchange traded products (ETP).
"Normally we wouldn't discuss dealings with the FSA, but we will confirm that we haven't made an official complaint," the LME said, adding it had not made any other type of complaint.
"The LME is not going to try to block any ETPs via the FSA."
Providers that in recent weeks have announced plans to launch the ETPs include U.K.-based ETF Securities and U.S. bank JP Morgan.
