MAR 9 Data reporting service

A CTP must publish information relating to its costs for establishing, maintaining and operating the consolidated tape for bonds or the consolidated tape for equities in such a way as to be accessible to potential bidders in a re-tender process.

A CTP must take all reasonable steps to transfer without delay to a successor CTP the assets, data and operational information necessary to enable it to operate the consolidated tape effectively. It must also have in place agreements with its clients which enable those clients who decide to do so to transfer to a successor CTP.

The following requirements apply in respect of the management body of a data reporting service provider:

1. (1)

   The management body must possess adequate collective knowledge, skills and experience to be able to understand the activities of the data reporting service provider.

2. (2)

   The members of the management body must:

   1. (a)

      be of sufficiently good repute;

   2. (b)

      possess sufficient knowledge, skill and experience, and be able to commit sufficient time, to perform their duties; and

   3. (c)

      act with honesty, integrity and independence of mind:

      1. (i)

         to challenge effectively the decisions of the senior management where necessary; and

      2. (ii)

         to oversee and effectively monitor management decision-making where necessary.

3. (3)

   The management body must:

   1. (a)

      define and oversee the implementation of governance arrangements of the data reporting service provider to ensure the effective and prudent management of the provider, including the segregation of duties in the provider and the prevention of conflicts of interest; and

   2. (b)

      when doing so, act in a manner that promotes the integrity of the financial markets and the interests of its clients.

4. (4)

   Where:

   1. (a)

      an applicant for verification under regulation 7 of the DRS Regulations is a recognised investment exchange; and

   2. (b)

      the management body of the applicant is the same as the management body of the exchange,

      the requirements in (1) and (2) are deemed to be met.

   4. (d)

2. (2)

   A data reporting services provider must specify which of the activities are to be outsourced, including a specification of the level of human and technical resources needed to carry out each of those activities.

3. (3)

   A data reporting services provider that outsources activities must ensure that the outsourcing does not reduce its ability or power to perform senior management or management body functions.

7. (7)

   In exceptional circumstances, APAs must delete and amend information in a trade report on request from the entity providing the information when that entity cannot delete or amend its own information for technical reasons. APAs are not otherwise responsible for correcting information contained in published reports where the error or omission was attributable to the entity providing the information.

   8. (h)

      if applicable, an indicator that the transaction was subject to specific conditions.

1. (1)

   APAs must publish the information which has to be made public in accordance with MAR 9.2B.16R(1) in a machine-readable way.

1. (1)

   For the purposes of making market data containing the information set out in articles 6, 20 and 21 of MiFIR available to the public on a reasonable commercial basis and in accordance with MAR 9.2B.16R(1), APAs must comply with the obligations set out in MAR 9.2B.22R to MAR 9.2B.26R.

2. (2)

   The obligations set out in MAR 9.2B.22R, MAR 9.2B.23R(2), MAR 9.2B.24R, MAR 9.2B.25R(2) and MAR 9.2B.26R do not apply to APAs that make market data available to the public free of charge.

1. (1)

   The price of market data must be based on the cost of producing and disseminating such data and may include a reasonable margin.

2. (2)

   The costs of producing and disseminating market data may include an appropriate share of joint costs for other services provided by APAs.

2. (2)

   Any differentials in prices charged to different categories of customers must be proportionate to the value which the market data represent to those customers, taking into account:

   1. (a)

      the scope and scale of the market data, including the number of financial instruments covered and trading volume; and

   2. (b)

      the use made by the customer of the market data, including whether it is used for the customer’s own trading activities, for resale or for data aggregation.
