ESMA updates Q&A on short-selling regulation

14 November 2018

The European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) has updated its Questions and Answers (Q&As) on the Short-Selling Regulation (SSR). The purpose of this Q&A is to promote common supervisory approaches and practices in the application of SSR.

This Q&A clarifies that the identification of the relevant competent authority, following the entry into application of MiFID II/MiFIR, is no longer made under Commission Regulation No 1287/2006 but under Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2017/590 for the reporting of transactions to competent authorities.

ESMA will periodically review these Q&As and update them where required.
