ESMA updates MiFID II Q&A on market structure issues

15 November 2017

The purpose of these Q&As is to promote common supervisory approaches and practices in the application of MiFID II and MiFIR.

Q&A provide responses to questions posed by the general public and market participants in relation to the practical application of market structure issues. This update includes new answers regarding:

Tick size regime;

Direct Electronic Access (DEA); and

Multilateral systems;

The Q&A mechanism is a practical convergence tool used to promote common supervisory approaches and practices. ESMA will periodically review these Q&As on a regular basis to update them where required and to identify if, in a certain area, there is a need to convert some of the material into ESMA Guidelines and recommendations.
