NYSE Euronext spent $250K lobbying in 1Q

The company, which owns the New York Stock Exchange, Paris-based Euronext and several other exchanges, also lobbied on the United States' competitive position in international capital markets, and the rules governing market data and exchange traded funds.

In the first three months of the year, NYSE Euronext lobbied Congress, the Securities and Exchange Commission, Commodity Futures Trading Commission and Treasury Department, according to the report filed with the House clerk's office April 18.
