Proposal for a regulation
Title 1
Proposal for a REGULATION OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL amending Regulation (EU) No 600/2014 as regards enhancing market data transparency, removing obstacles to the emergence of a consolidated tape, and optimising the trading obligations and prohibiting receiving payments for forwarding client orders (Text with EEA relevance)

Proposal for a regulation
Recital 6
(6) Article 4 of Regulation (EU) No 600/2014 allows competent authorities to waive the pre-trade transparency requirements for market operators and investment firms operating a trading venue who determine their prices by reference to the midpoint price of the primary market or the most relevant market in terms of liquidity. As there is no justification for excluding the smallest orders from a transparent order book and in order to increase pre-trade transparency and thereby reinforce the price formation process, that waiver should be applicable to orders with a size greater than or equal toof a minimum at twice the standard market size. Further clarifications should be provided by ESMA. Where the consolidated tape for shares and exchange- traded funds (ETFs) will provide bid and offer prices from which a midpoint can be derived, the reference price waiver should also be available for systems deriving the midpoint price from the consolidated tape.

Proposal for a regulation
Recital 7
(7) Dark trading is trading without pre- trade transparency, using the reference price waiver laid down in Article 4(1), point (a) of Regulation (EU) No 600/2014 and the negotiated trade waiver laid down in Article 4(a) point (a), point (i) of that Regulation. The use of both waivers is capped by the double volume cap (‘DVC’). The DVC is a mechanism that limits the level of dark trading to a certain proportion of total trading in an equity instrument. The amount of dark trading in an equity instrument on an individual venue may not exceed 4% of total trading in that instrument in the Union. When this threshold is breached, dark trading in that instrument on that venue is suspended. Secondly the amount of dark trading in an equity instrument in the Union may not exceed 8% of total trading in that instrument in the Union. When this threshold is breached all dark trading in that instrument is suspended. The venue specific threshold leaves room for continued use of those waivers on other platforms on which trading in that equity instrument is not yet suspended, until the Union wide threshold is breached. This causes complexity in terms of monitoring the levels of dark trading and of enforcing the suspension. To simplify the double volume cap while keeping its effectiveness, the new single volume cap should rely solely on the EU-wide threshold. That threshold should be lowered to 7 % to compensate for a potential increase of trading under those waivers as a consequence of abolishing the venue specific threshold. ESMA should be empowered to determine the DVC based on market conditions, the price formation process and liquidity available in the market.

Recital 9
(9) To ensure an adequate level of transparency, the price and the volume of a non-equity transaction should be published as close to real time as possible and only be delayed until maximally the end -of the- second-day trading day. However, in order not to expose liquidity providers in non-equity instruments to undue risk, it should be possible to mask volumes of transactions for a short period of time, which should not be longer than twofour weeks. The exact calibration of the various buckets corresponding to different time deferrals should be left to ESMA due to the technical expertise required to specify the calibration as well as due to the need to allow for the flexibility to amend the calibration. Those deferrals should be based on the liquidity of the non-equity instrument, the size of the transaction and, for bonds, the credit rating and it should no longer include the size specific to the instrument concerned.

Recital 11
(11) In order to reinforce the price formation process and to maintain a level playing field between trading venues and systematic internalisers, Article 14 of Regulation (EU) No 600/2014 requires systematic internalisers to make public all quotes in equity instruments placed by that systematic internaliser below the standard market size. Systematic internalisers are free to decide which sizes they quote, as long as they quote at a minimum size of 10% of the standard market size. That possibility, however, has led to very low levels of pre-trade transparency provided by systematic internalisers in equity instruments, and has hampered the achievement of a level playing field. It is therefore necessary to require systematic internalisers to publish firm quotes relating to a minimum of twice the standard market size. ESMA should be empowered to determine the threshold in accordance with Article 4(6) point f.

Recital 12
(12) In order to create a level playing field, in addition to the obligation to publish firm quotes relating to a minimum of twice the standard market size, systematic internalisers should also no longernot be allowed to match at midpoint below twice the standard market size. It should furthermore be clarified that systematic internalisers should be allowed to match at midpoint in so far as they comply with the tick-size rules in accordance with Article 49 of Directive 2014/65/EU when they trade above twice the standard market size but below the large in-scale threshold. When systematic internalisers trade above a large in-scale threshold, they should continue to be allowed to match at midpoint without complying with the tick- size regime. In order to clarify, ESMA should be empowered to determine the size appropriate for the market conditions.

Proposal for a regulation
Recital 13
(13) Market participants need core market data to be able to make informed investment decisions. Pursuant to the current Article 27h of Regulation (EU) 600/2014, sourcing core market data about certain financial instruments directly from trading venues and APAs requires that consolidated tape providers enter into separate licensing agreements with all those data contributors. That process is burdensome, costly and time consuming. It has been one of the obstacles to consolidated tape providers emerging on a cross market basis. This obstacle should be removed in order to enable consolidated tape providers to obtain the market data and to overcome licencing issues. Trading venues and APAs, or investment firms and systematic internalisers without intervention of APAs (‘market data contributors’) should be required to submit their market data to consolidated tape providers, and to use harmonised templates respecting high–quality data standards to do so. Only CTPs selected and authorised by ESMA should be able to collect harmonised market data from the individual data sources in accordance with the mandatory contribution rule. To make the market data useful for investors, market data contributors should be required to provide the CTP with market data as close as technically possible to real time.no later than one minute after the transaction

Proposal for a regulation
Recital 14
(14) Title II and III of Regulation (EU) 600/2014 require trading venues, APAs, investment firms and systematic internalisers (‘market data contributors’) to publish pre-trade data on financial instruments, including bid and offer prices and post-trade data on transactions, including the price and volume at which a transaction in a specific instrument has been concluded. Market participants are not obliged to use the consolidated core market data provided by the CTP. The requirement to publish those pre-trade and post-trade data should therefore remain applicable to enable market participants to access market data. However, to avoid undue burden on market data contributors, it is appropriate to align the requirement for market data contributors to publish data as much as possible with the requirement to contribute data to the CTP, which will require only post-trade data.

Recital 20
(20) Competition among consolidated tape providers ensures that the consolidated tape is provided in the most efficient way and under the best conditions for users. However, no entity has, up until now, applied to act as a consolidated tape provider. It is therefore considered appropriate to empower ESMA to periodically organise a competitive selection procedure to select a single entity which is able to provide the consolidated tape for each specified asset class. Taking into account the novelty of the proposed scheme, ESMA should only mandate the provision of post-trade transparency data for the first selection procedure that it runs in relation to shares. At least 18 months before the launch of the second selection procedure, ESMA should submit a report to the Commission assessing whether there is market demand for extending the data contributed to the tape to pre-trade data. On the basis of such a report, the Commission should be empowered, by way of a delegated act, to further specify the depth of pre-trade data to the tapebonds, taking into account the set- up costs. ESMA should prioritise the selection and authorisation of a consolidated tape provider for bonds.

Recital 21
(21) According to data presented in the impact assessment accompanying the proposal for this Regulation, the expected revenue generation for the consolidated tape will vary depending on the precise features of the tape. The expected revenue of the CTP should significantly exceed the cost of its production, and therefore help to build a solid revenue participation scheme whereby the CTP and the market data contributors share aligned commercial interests. This principle should not prevent CTPs from making a necessary margin to maintain a viable business model and from using the core market data to offer further analytics or other services aimed to increase the revenue pool.

Amendment 161 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 22
(22) There is an objective difference between a venue of primary admission and other trading venues that serve as secondary trading markets. A venue of primary admission admits companies to the public markets, playing a crucial role in the life of a share and for the share’s liquidity. This is particularly true in the case of shares listed on smaller regulated markets which remain typically traded mostly on the venue of primary admission. When the pre-trade transparent trading of a certain share takes place exclusively or predominantly on the venue of primary admission, such smaller venue plays a more important role in the price formation for that share. The core market data a smaller regulated market contributes to the consolidated tape therefore plays a more determining role in the price formation for the shares this venue admits to trading. A preferential treatment in the revenue participation scheme is therefore considered appropriate to allow these smOn that note, the CT can offer more visibility to the smaller exchanges. Therefore, it is important for aller exchanges to maintain their local admissions and safeguard a rich and vibrant ecosystemcontribute to the tape, which is, moreover, fully in line with the objectivesidea of the Capitinternal Mmarkets Union.

(23) Small regulated markets are regulated markets which admit shares of issuers for which trading in the secondary market tends to be less liquid than the trading of shares admitted to trading on larger regulated markets. In order to avoid that lower trading volumes (or nominal values) penalise smaller exchanges in the revenue participation scheme designed for the consolidated tape for shares, data from trades in these less liquid shares should attract a higher remuneration than their notional trading value would indicate. Whether a shareThe desired outcome would be to provide end investors with a truly consolidated overview of the trading opportunities available in the Union and to increase the overall domestic and international attractiveness of the Union capital markets, isn less liquid should be determinedine with the objectives onf the basis of the proportion of pre-trade transparent liquidity displayed by the regulated market that admits the less liquid share, Capital Markets Union, and to include small regulated markets in the picture crelative to the average daily trading turnover in that shared by the consolidated tape.

Recital 24
(24) Given the novelty of the consolidated tape in the context of the EU financial markets, ESMA should be entrusted with providing the European Commission with an assessment of the revenue participation scheme designed for regulated markets in the context of the consolidated tape for shares. This report should be prepared on the basis of at least 12 months of operation of the CTP and subsequently at the request of the Commission, where deemed necessary or appropriate. The assessment should focus in particular on whether the participation of small regulated markets in the revenue of the CTP is fair and effective in safeguarding the role that these markets play in their local financial ecosystem. The Commission should be empowered to revise the mechanism of allocation by way of a delegated act, where necessary or appropriate.

Recital 32
(32) Financial intermediaries should strive to achieve the best possible price and the highest possible likelihood of execution for trades that they execute on behalf of their clients. To that end,ensure that the best execution requirement described in Article 27 of Directive 2014/65/EU can be met financial intermediaries should select the trading venue or counterparty for executing their client trades solely on the basis of achieving best execution for their clients. It should be incompatible with that principle of best execution that a financial intermediary receives a payment from a trading counterpart in exchange for ensuring the execution of client trades. Investment firms should be therefore be prohibited from receiving such payment.

Article 11
Article 11 Authorisation of deferred publication Competent authorities shall be able to authorise market operators and investment firms operating a trading venue to provide for deferred publication of the details of transactions based on the size or type of the transaction. In particular, the competent authorities may authorise the deferred publication in respect of transactions that: (a) are large in scale compared with the normal market size for that bond, structured finance product, emission allowance or derivative traded on a trading venue, or for that class of bond, structured finance product, emission allowance or derivative traded on a trading venue; or (b) are related to a bond, structured finance product, emission allowance or derivative traded on a trading venue, or a class of bond, structured finance product, emission allowance or derivative traded on a trading venue for which there is not a liquid market; (c) are above a size specific to that bond, structured finance product, emission allowance or derivative traded on a trading venue, or that class of bond, structured finance product, emission allowance or derivative traded on a trading venue, which would expose liquidity providers to undue risk and takes into account whether the relevant market participants are retail or wholesale investors. Market operators and investment firms operating a trading venue shall obtain the competent authority’s prior approval of proposed arrangements for deferred trade- publication, and shall clearly disclose those arrangements to market participants and the public. ESMA shall monitor the application of those arrangements for deferred trade-publication and shall submit an annual report to the Commission on how they are used in practice. 2. The competent authority responsible for supervising one or more trading venues on which a class of bond, structured finance product, emission allowance or derivative is traded may, where the liquidity of that class of financial instrument falls below the threshold determined in accordance with the methodology as referred to in Article 9(5)(a), temporarily suspend the obligations referred to in Article 10. That threshold shall be defined based on objective criteria specific to the market for the financial instrument concerned. Such temporary suspension shall be published on the website of the relevant competent authority. The temporary suspension shall be valid for an initial period not exceeding three months from the date of its publication on the website of the relevant competent authority. Such a suspension may be renewed for further periods not exceeding three months at a time if the grounds for the temporary suspension continue to be applicable. Where the temporary suspension is not renewed after that three- month period, it shall automatically lapse. Before suspending or renewing the temporary suspension of the obligations referred to in Article 10, the relevant competent authority shall notify ESMA of its intention and provide an explanation. ESMA shall issue an opinion to the competent authority as soon as practicable on whether in its view the suspension or the renewal of the temporary suspension is justified in accordance with the first and second subparagraphs. 3. Competent authorities may, in conjunction with an authorisation of deferred publication: (a) request the publication of limited details of a transaction or details of several transactions in an aggregated form, or a combination thereof, during the time period of deferral; (b) allow the omission of the publication of the volume of an individual transaction during an extended time period of deferral; (c) regarding non-equity instruments that are not sovereign debt, allow the publication of several transactions in an aggregated form during an extended time period of deferral; (d) regarding sovereign debt instruments, allow the publication of several transactions in an aggregated form for an indefinite period of time. In relation to sovereign debt instruments, points (b) and (d) may be used either separately or consecutively whereby once the volume omission extended period lapses, the volumes could then be published in aggregated form. In relation to all other financial instruments, when the deferral time period lapses, the outstanding details of the transaction and all the details of the transactions on an individual basis shall be published. 4. ESMA shall develop draft regulatory technical standards to specify the following in such a way as to enable the publication of information required under Article 64 of Directive 2014/65/EU: (a) the details of transactions that investment firms, including systematic internalisers, and market operators and investment firms operating a trading venue shall make available to the public for each class of financial instrument concerned in accordance with Article 10(1), including identifiers for the different types of transactions published under Article 10(1) and Article 21(1), distinguishing between those determined by factors linked primarily to the valuation of the financial instruments and those determined by other factors; (b) the time limit that would be deemed in compliance with the obligation to publish as close to real time as possible including when trades are executed outside ordinary trading hours; (c) the conditions for authorising investment firms, including systematic internalisers, and market operators and investment firms operating a trading venue, to provide for deferred publication of the details of transactions for each class of financial instrument concerned in accordance with paragraph 1 of this Article and with Article 21(4); (d) the criteria to be applied when determining the size or type of a transaction for which deferred publication and publication of limited details of a transaction, or publication of details of several transactions in an aggregated form, or omission of the publication of the volume of a transaction with particular reference to allowing an extended length of time of deferral for certain financial instruments depending on their liquidity, is allowed under paragraph 3. ESMA shall submit those draft regulatory technical standards to the Commission by 3 July 2015. Power is delegated to the Commission to adopt the regulatory technical standards referred to in the first subparagraph in accordance. (https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/?uri=CELEX%3A02014R0600-20220101)(6 a) Article 11 is replaced by the following: "Article 11 Authorisation of deferred publication 1. Market operators and investment firms operating a trading venue may defer the publication of the details of transactions, including the price and the volume, for a maximum duration not exceeding four weeks. Market operators and investment firms operating a trading venue shall clearly disclose proposed arrangements for deferred trade-publication to market participants and the public. ESMA should monitor the application of those arrangements for deferred trade-publication and shall submit an annual report to the Commission on how they are used in practice. The arrangements for deferred trade publication shall be organised using the following five categories of transactions related to a bond, structured finance product, emission allowance or derivative traded on a trading venue, or a class of bond, structured finance product, emission allowance or derivative traded on a trading venue: (a) category 1: transactions of a medium size in a financial instrument for which there is a liquid market; (b) category 2: transactions of a medium size in a financial instrument for which there is not a liquid market; (c) category 3: transactions of a large size in a financial instrument for which there is a liquid market; (d) category 4: transactions of a large size in a financial instrument for which there is not a liquid market; (e) category 5: transactions of a very large size, irrespective of the liquidity status of the financial instrument. 2. The competent authority responsible for supervising one or more trading venues on which a class of bond, structured finance product, emission allowance or derivative is traded may, where the liquidity of that class of financial instrument falls below the threshold determined in accordance with the methodology as referred to in Article 9(5)(a), temporarily suspend the obligations referred to in Article 10. That threshold shall be defined based on objective criteria specific to the market for the financial instrument concerned. Such temporary suspension shall be published on the website of the relevant competent authority. The temporary suspension shall be valid for an initial period not exceeding three months from the date of its publication on the website of the relevant competent authority. Such a suspension may be renewed for further periods not exceeding three months at a time if the grounds for the temporary suspension continue to be applicable.
