The concept of TOTV is in particular relevant for:
	- 
		pre-trade and post-trade transparency requirements on market operators and investment firms operating a trading venue as well as for investment firms (including systematic internalisers) operating over-the-counter (OTC); and
 
	- 
		transaction reporting obligations.
 
	The ESMA  opinion clarifies the concept of TOTV for OTC derivatives, and in particular which transactions in derivatives concluded outside of trading venues are subject to the transaction reporting and transparency requirements.  ESMA  specifies that only OTC-derivatives sharing the same reference data details as derivatives for which trading venues submitted reference data should be subject to the MiFIR transparency and transaction reporting requirements.
	ESMA’s opinion helps building a common supervisory culture and consistent supervisory practices among national supervisors, as well as ensuring uniform procedures and consistent approaches throughout the European Union.
