  • FESE Position On MiFIR Non-Discriminatory Access For ETDs

    Date 15/02/2021

    Key issue & request:

    • The “Non-discriminatory” Access provisions under MiFIR constitute a serious risk to the EU financial stability and competitiveness as they undermine the ability of market infrastructures to ensure transparent and orderly trading, liquidity and clearing when applied to Exchange-Traded Derivatives (ETDs).
    • We very much welcomed ESMA’s no action letter (here) and the delay of the entry into force of the MiFIR provisions by an additional year, until 4th July 2021, in respect of ETDs. This was included as part of the finalisation of the CCP Recovery and Resolution dossier in order to preserve financial stability in the Union. 
    • This temporary relief, however, will soon elapse and will not solve the inherent Level 1 risks that the provisions will create, if applied in July 2021.
