Directive MiFID

MiFID II information letter - 45,26 KB pdf

 

From 1 November 2007, the Directive 2004 39 CE - 293,46 KB pdf , of 21 April, regarding markets in financial instruments (MiFID), came into force and became applicable in the European Union. It was later implemented by the Directive 2006 73 CE - 225,49 KB pdf , of 10 August, concerning organisational requirements and operating conditions for investment firms, as well as the terms defined for such purposes.

These Directives were transposed into Spanish law by Law 47 2007 - 361,47 KB pdf , of 19 December, which amended Law 24/1988, of 28 July, on the Securities Market, and by Royal Decree 217-2008 - 208,86 KB pdf , of 15 February, on the legal regime governing investment firms and other entities providing investment services.

In March 2008, the National Securities Market Commission (CNMV) and the Committee of European Securities Regulators (CESR) published informative guides on MiFID.

As a result of the need to increase the level of protection for users of investment products and services, which have become significantly more complex in recent years, the application of a new regulatory framework on markets and financial instruments came into force on 3 January 2018. This framework is based on the MiFID II Directive - 1,75 MB pdf (Directive 2014/65/EU), the MiFIR Regulation - 1,18 MB pdf (Regulation 600/2014/EU), and a set of 29 Delegated Acts developing the aforementioned Directive and Regulation.

The reform envisages changes in two distinct areas relating to (i) investor protection (increasing transparency requirements for investors and strengthening control and governance of entities providing investment services) and (ii) the functioning of markets (infrastructure and transparency).

The CNMV has prepared an informative MiFID II – MiFIR portal outlining all aspects of this reform.

MiFID II obliges financial institutions to incorporate a broad range of rules to which they must adhere when providing investment services, as well as to improve the level of information provided to investors.
