Consultation closes 18 May 2020 (Originally due to close on 20 April 2020)

MiFID II and MiFIR started to apply in January 2018, bringing significant improvements to the functioning and transparency of EU financial markets.

To assess the overall functioning of the regime after two years of application, MiFID II/MiFIR require that the Commission presents the Parliament and Council with a report on the operation of the new framework, together with a legislative proposal for reform, if deemed necessary.

This consultation therefore seeks to gather evidence from stakeholders, and more generally from EU citizens, on areas that would merit targeted adjustments.

The Commission claims to welcome indications on how issues should be prioritised in a potential reform of the MiFID II/MiFIR rulebook.

• The FCA will continue to prepare for the end of the Brexit transition period. Working closely with the Treasury and the Bank of England, the FCA is working within its remit to prepare for a range of scenarios, and ensure as smooth a transition as possible
• Firms should continue to consider what actions they need to take to be ready for the end of the transition period, and what this will mean for their customers

The Association for Financial Markets in Europe (AFME) has responded to the European Securities and Markets Authority’s (ESMA) consultation paper

The changes to MiFIR and MiFID II regimes include new reporting requirements from third-country firms on an annual basis in accordance with Article 46 of MiFIR

Grants ESMA the power to ask third-country firms in its register to provide data relating to all orders and all transactions in the EU

The changes to MiFIR and MiFID II regimes include new reporting requirements from third-country firms on an annual basis

AFME feels the equivalence framework should be proportionate in the requirements imposed on third-country firms so as to avoid discouraging firms from utilising the framework
