The European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA), the EU’s securities markets regulator, has today launched a Consultation Paper (CP) seeking input from market participants in relation to its draft guidelines on the MiFID II/MiFIR obligations on market data.
The proposed Guidelines build on the assessments and recommendations from a 2019 ESMA Report on Market Data.
They provide guidance on the requirement to publish market data on a
reasonable commercial basis and the requirement to make market data
available free of charge 15 minutes after publication.
The proposed Guidelines will ensure better and uniform application of
the MiFID II/MiFIR obligations on market data. In addition, ESMA also
believes that their implementation supports consistent, efficient and
effective supervisory practices.
Next steps
The consultation closes on 11 January 2021. ESMA will consider the
feedback received and expects to publish the final report and Guidelines
by Q2 2021. Consultation Paper
