CP16/43: Markets in Financial Instruments Directive II Implementation – Consultation Paper IV
The Financial Conduct Authority proposes final technical changes to the UK Handbook to implement the Markets in Financial Instruments Directive II, covering specialist regimes, tied agents, SME growth markets, and market data reporting. The consultation seeks feedback on updating conduct rules for entities such as energy market participants and corporate finance boutiques, while introducing requirements for annual assurance reviews by Data Reporting Service Providers. These proposals aim to align UK regulations with EU standards ahead of the January 2018 application date, with comments requested by February 2017.
