ESMA issued this final report to publish the Manual on post-trade transparency, consolidating Level 3 guidance for implementing RTS 1 and RTS 2 following their review. The document details ESMA's assessment of stakeholder feedback on proposed amendments to the CFI code-MiFIR identifier mapping, specific reporting fields for equity and non-equity instruments, and the flagging system. It clarifies that the Manual serves as a non-binding explanatory tool to standardize supervisory approaches without requiring a new implementation period.
