ESMA publishes new MMoU signed by 29 authorities in the securities and markets area

05 June 2014

The new MMoU was agreed in view of the increasing internationalisation, harmonisation and interdependence of financial services and markets in the European Union. It is designed to facilitate cooperation arrangements and the exchange of information between competent authorities.

The multilateral memorandum of understanding (MMoU) updates and replaces a previous agreement on the Exchange of Information and Surveillance of Securities Activities agreed by the members of the Committee of European Securities Regulators (formerly the Forum of European Securities Commissions) entered into by those members on 26 January 1999.

The new MMoU entered into force on 29 May 2014.
