ESMA Opinion on Amendments to RTS 1 and RTS 2

The European Securities and Markets Authority issued this opinion endorsing the European Commission's proposed amendments to the Regulatory Technical Standards on equity transparency (RTS 1) and non-equity transparency (RTS 2). The amendments modify post-trade reporting fields and flags, specifically adjusting price and quantity definitions for bonds and emission allowances while introducing a new portfolio trade flag. ESMA approved these changes and agreed to postpone the application date of the revised provisions to 1 January 2024 to allow market participants sufficient time for technical implementation.
