Date 20/10/2011

NYSE Euronext (NYSE: NYX) today issued the following statement regarding the publication of the legislative proposal by the European Commission:

With the publication of the proposals, European policymakers now have an opportunity to strengthen Europe’s financial market regulation for the benefit of investors, listed companies and the economy as a whole.  We consider today’s legislative proposal as a significant step in delivering on the G20 commitment made in September 2009 to establish safer, sounder and more transparent financial markets globally and in Europe.  Market transparency is at the heart of the debate and as such we very much welcome the proposals on promoting the consolidation and transparency of equity trade data, extending the transparency provisions to the non-equities space and bringing previously unregulated trading systems within the scope of the legislative framework.
