European Issuers’ response to the revision of the Market Abuse Directive
27 July 2010
European Issuers’ proposals to the Commission recommend that the MAD regime should be simplified for all companies in the EU before extending it to MTFs and that the threshold for the notification of transactions by managers should be higher and restart from zero every time it is reached.
European Issuers welcomes the revision of the MAD and proposes the following improvements:
- the MAD regime should be simplified for all companies in the EU before extending it to MTFs;
- the obligation of keeping insider lists should be deleted;
- information sharing between authorities should be useful;
- there should be harmonisation of the activity of liquidity providers across the EU;
- the threshold for the notification of transaction by managers should be higher and restart from zero every time it is reached;
- it would be helpful to extend the MAD provisions to secondary markets for emissions trading; and
- there should be a definition of market operator.
