In light of the changing emphasis of CESR's work on MiFID, CESR agreed to dissolve the previous three Expert Groups and its MiFID Steering Group at the conclusion of the Level 2 implementing measures. CESR also agreed to establish a new single 'MiFID Level 3 Group' (the "Group"). This group is not intended to be of permanent nature; it aims to achieve most of its results to facilitate a smooth and consistent implementation of the new regime, starting in November 2007. Further work will be performed as warranted.
