In the context of the FESE lobbying campaign on MiFID, Judith Hardt, FESE Director General, gave an interview to the German newspaper Borsen Zeitung. In the interview, Judith mentions the following:
- Our hope for MiFID II is that the orders that are traded over the counter, should be brought back on regulated markets or MTFs.
- The European Parliament resolution of 2010 governing the 'dark pools' encourages transactions to happen on organized trading venues. This report was heavily influenced by Markus Ferber, the rapporteur for MiFID II.
- OTFs would have the right to choose their customers, unlike stock exchanges and MTFs. The danger is that non-OTC trading will move to discretionary OTFs platforms.
- We hope that Markus Ferber can enforce the opinion of the European Parliament.
