The second Markets in Financial Instruments Directive (MiFID II) and the Markets in Financial Instruments Regulation (MiFIR) are the principal texts regulating investment services and financial markets activities in the EU. Following an extensive consultation and in light of the recent developments in the context of the coronavirus pandemic, the European Commission proposed the establishment of an EU-wide consolidated tape for financial markets instruments, as well as making targeted changes to market structure, so as to increase transparency and strengthen the competitiveness of EU financial markets. Consolidated tape is a high-speed electronic system that reports the latest price and volume data on sales of exchange-listed stock.
The proposals are currently being discussed by the co-legislators. Within the European Parliament, both have been assigned to the Committee on Economic and Monetary Affairs (ECON), which adopted its reports on 1 March 2023 and also decided to enter into trilogue negotiations on that basis. A provisional agreement was reached on 29 June 2023.
