COMMISSION DELEGATED REGULATION (EU) 2023/945

of 17 January 2023

amending the regulatory technical standards laid down in Delegated Regulation (EU) 2017/583 as regards certain transparency requirements applicable to transactions in non-equity instruments

(Text with EEA relevance)

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,

Having regard to Regulation (EU) No 600/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 15 May 2014 on markets in financial instruments and amending Regulation (EU) No 648/2012 ( 1 ) , and in particular Article 9(5), third subparagraph, Article 11(4), third subparagraph, Article 14(7), third subparagraph, Article 21(5), third subparagraph, and Article 22(3), second subparagraph, thereof,

Whereas:

(1)

Taking into consideration the experience acquired with the application of Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2017/583 ( 2 ) , the identification of inconsistent application of provisions that rely on whether or not a transaction is ‘non-price forming’ and taking into account the changes in trading practices due to technological developments and adaptations of behaviour of market participants which allow information to be published with a shorter delay, it is necessary to amend certain provisions of that Delegated Regulation.

(2)

The concept of non-price forming transactions, which is relevant for the application of the exemption of post-trade transparency requirements for bilateral transactions, has been interpreted differently by entities under supervision, which has led to inconsistent publication of post-trade transparency information in accordance with Article 21 of Regulation (EU) No 600/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council ( 3 ) . To improve the transparency, data quality and ultimately to facilitate data aggregation, it is necessary to simplify and clarify the reporting regime applicable to non-equity transactions. To avoid diverging interpretation, the various provisions that rely on the concept of non-price forming transactions in both Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2017/587 ( 4 ) and Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2017/590 ( 5 ) , which deals with the reporting of transactions to competent authorities, should be aligned. Since the list of non-price forming transactions in Delegated Regulation (EU) 2017/590 contains all the transactions to be excluded from the reporting requirements, the separate transactions in Delegated Regulation (EU) 2017/587 should therefore be removed.

(3)

Market participants have been interpreting the pre-trade transparency requirements for hybrid trading systems differently, which has resulted in inconsistent pre-trade transparency disclosed by operators of such systems. Hybrid systems are systems which combine two or more trading systems. To ensure that those operators disclose appropriate pre-trade transparency information in a consistent manner across the Union, pre-trade transparency requirements should be introduced for hybrid trading systems which ensure that pre-trade transparency requirements are aligned with those of the individual systems of which the hybrid system consists.

(4)

In public reports on transactions in financial instruments certain key elements, such as price, quantity and notional amount have been expressed inconsistently. The expression of those elements should be in line with the market conventions in relation to the individual instruments. With regard to bonds, the price should be expressed in percentage, unless the market convention dictates that the price of a specific type of bond is expressed differently. For Credit Default Swaps the price should be expressed in basis points received by the seller of the credit protection.

(5)

Trades where several different bonds, or other financial instruments, are simultaneously sold to a single client, including counterparties, as a portfolio trade against a single price for the entire lot, are not recognisable as such in the public reports. Without accurate identification of such portfolio trades the public reports display several individual transactions against a price that does not reflect the market price. Therefore, it is necessary to add in Table 3 of Annex II to Delegated Regulation (EU) 2017/587 a flag for portfolio trades identifying such transactions.

(6)

Trading venues, approved publication arrangements (APAs) and investment firms have not interpreted the requirements related to the disclosure of post-trade transparency information to the public and the information to be provided to the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) and competent authorities for the purpose of the transparency calculations consistently. As a result, such information is incomplete, inaccurate or inconsistent. This undermines the usability of such information and the quality and accuracy of the transparency calculations based on the submitted data. In order to promote the consistent application of the post-trade transparency requirements across the Union, it is necessary to further specify how details, such as price and notional amount, should be disclosed with regard to different financial instruments by trading venues, APAs and investment firms and for the reporting of reference data and quantitative data to ESMA and competent authorities.

(7)

The liquidity of commodity derivatives varies significantly depending on the characteristics of the instruments. The format under which certain characteristics of commodity and freight derivatives are reported is currently not sufficiently specified in Delegated Regulation (EU) 2017/583. To achieve a consistent reporting of those characteristics and enhance data quality, those formats should rely on existing market standards and should be specified.

(8)

Delegated Regulation (EU) 2017/583 should therefore be amended accordingly.

(9)

To allow trading venues, APAs and investment firms to implement the required changes into their systems, certain amendments introduced by this Regulation should apply from 1 January 2024. In order to ensure legal certainty and continuity for transactions executed before 1 January 2024 but which are published or amended after that date, Article 12 of and Annex I, II and IV to Delegated Regulation (EU) 2017/583 as applicable on 31 December 2023 should continue to apply to transactions executed before 1 January 2024.

(10)

This Regulation is based on the draft regulatory technical standards submitted to the Commission by ESMA.

(11)

ESMA has conducted open public consultations on the draft regulatory technical standards on which this Regulation is based, analysed the potential related costs and benefits and requested the advice of the Securities and Markets Stakeholder Group established in accordance with Article 37 of Regulation (EU) No 1095/2010 of the European Parliament and of the Council ( 6 ) ,

ANNEX I

‘ANNEX I

Description of the type of system and the related information to be made public in accordance with Article 2

Type of system

Description of system

Information to be made public

Continuous auction order book trading system

A system that by means of an order book and a trading algorithm operated without human intervention matches sell orders with buy orders on the basis of the best available price on a continuous basis.

For each financial instrument, the aggregate number of orders and the volume they represent at each price level, for at least the five best bid and offer price levels.

Quote-driven trading system

A system where transactions are concluded on the basis of firm quotes that are continuously made available to participants, which requires the market makers to maintain quotes in a size that balances the needs of members and participants to deal in a commercial size and the risk to which the market maker exposes itself.

For each financial instrument, the best bid and offer by price of each market maker in that instrument, together with the volumes attaching to those prices.

The quotes made public shall be those that represent binding commitments to buy and sell the financial instruments and which indicate the price and volume of financial instruments in which the registered market makers are prepared to buy or sell. In exceptional market conditions, however, indicative or one-way prices may be allowed for a limited time.

Periodic auction trading system

A system that matches orders on the basis of a periodic auction and a trading algorithm operated without human intervention.

For each financial instrument, the price at which the auction trading system would best satisfy its trading algorithm and the volume that would potentially be executable at that price by participants in that system.

Request-for-quote trading system

A trading system where a quote or quotes are provided in response to a request for a quote submitted by one or more other members or participants. The quote is executable exclusively by the requesting member or market participant. The requesting member or participant may conclude a transaction by accepting the quote or quotes provided to it on request.

The quotes and the attaching volumes from any member or participant which, if accepted, would lead to a transaction under the system's rules. All submitted quotes in response to a request for quote may be published at the same time but not later than when they become executable.

Voice trading system

A trading system where transactions between members are arranged through voice negotiation.

The bids and offers and the attaching volumes from any member or participant which, if accepted, would lead to a transaction under the system's rules.

Hybrid trading system

A system falling into two or more of the types of trading systems referred to in rows 1 to 5 of this Table.

For hybrid trading systems that combine different trading systems at the same time, the requirements correspond to the pre-trade trade transparency requirements applicable to each type of trading system that forms the hybrid system.

For hybrid trading systems that combine two or more trading systems subsequently, the requirements correspond to the pre-trade transparency requirements applicable to the respective trading system operated at a particular point in time.

Any other trading system

Any other type of trading system not covered by rows 1 to 6.

Adequate information as to the level of orders or quotes and of trading interest; in particular, the five best bid and offer price levels and/or two-way quotes of each market maker in the instrument, if the characteristics of the price discovery mechanism so permit.’
