The European Securities and Markets Authority has published an updated version of its
manual on post-trade transparency and an updated version of its
opinion on the assessment of pre-trade transparency waivers for equity and non-equity instruments under the Markets in Financial Instruments package. ESMA is providing further practical guidance on the provisions following the statement from last March on the transition for the application of the MiFID II/MiFIR Review, to reflect the changes introduced. ESMA explains that the amendments are published with the objective of contributing to the smooth transition and consistent application of MiFIR, and complements the clarifications on the applicable MiFIR Review and Technical Standards provisions provided in the Interactive Single Rulebook earlier this year. ESMA also
stated that it has updated its Q&As on transparency and market structure issues.
