M2G 1.4 MIFID 2 technical standards and delegated acts

M2G 1.4.1 G 23/03/2018

1MiFID 2 also requires the Commission, in certain places, to adopt technical standards, submitted by ESMA. These technical standards, which take the form of regulatory technical standards or implementing technical standards, are, as their names suggest, technical in nature and according to articles 10 and 152 of the ESMA regulation (10952/2010/EU) (see http://data.europa.eu/eli/reg/2010/1095/oj 2) ‘… shall not imply strategic decisions or policy choices2’.

M2G 1.4.2 G 03/01/2018

1Where an FCA rule is amplified by a technical standard, the source is referred to below the relevant provision, for example, in MAR 5A.5.10

5A.5.10 R Where a firm permits colocation in relation to the OTF, its rules on colocation services must be transparent, fair and non-discriminatory.

[Note: article 48(8) of MiFID and MiFID RTS 10]

M2G 1.4.3 G 03/01/2018

1Given their directly applicable nature and length, we have not copied out the technical standards into the Handbook, but instead adopted the signposting convention illustrated above.

M2G 1.4.4 G 03/01/2018

1In addition to technical standards, MiFID II also contains delegated acts prepared by the Commission, itself, in the form of regulations (see, for example, references to the MiFID Org Regulation (Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2017/565) and the MiFIR Delegated Regulation (EU) 2017/567).
