We are now in the second week of MiFID II, which has dominated the news over the past week. Here we look at more developments.

France’s AMF announced here that reporting to them had gone smoothly last week. Following the reprieves of last week in terms of open clearing access, Sweden’s Finansinspektionen  has given Nasdaq a similar deferral, according to this article on FT.com.

This video on MSN.com featuring Neil Robson of  Katten Muchin Rosenman discussign the gaps left in MiFID II, focusing on transposition gaps. This article on The register web site looks at possible “gold plating” of MiFID II by the FCA, in terms of the use personal devices by Investment Firms and others. This article on FT Advisor by Emma Ann Hughes is entitled “MiFID II force partially awakens”. It suggests, as other have, that the story around MiFID II will continue, and that the last episode was not “the last regulation”.

Over the next days we will turn our attention to other topics as well as MiFID II.
