FESE/Hardt: Interview by Börsen-Zeitung

14 October 2013

FESE director general Judith Hardt was interviewed by the German newspaper Börsen-Zeitung in the context of FESE's lobbying campaign on MiFID.

In the interview, Judith mentions the following:

• FESE’s hope for MiFID II is that the orders that are traded over the counter should be brought back on regulated markets or MTFs.
• The European Parliament resolution of 2010 governing the 'dark pools' encourages transactions to happen on organised trading venues. This report was heavily influenced by Markus Ferber, the rapporteur for MiFID II.
• OTFs would have the right to choose their customers, unlike stock exchanges and MTFs. The danger is that non-OTC trading will move to discretionary OTFs platforms.
• FESE hopes that Markus Ferber can enforce the opinion of the European Parliament.
