The European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA), the EU’s securities markets regulator, has today withdrawn the authorisation of Euronext Paris SA (Euronext) as a Data Reporting Service Provider (DRSP) under the Markets in Financial Instruments Regulation (MiFIR).
Euronext was authorised as both an Approved Reporting Mechanism and an Approved Publication Arrangement under MiFIR since 3 January 2018.
MiFIR provides that ESMA shall withdraw the authorisation of a DRSP where the DRSP expressly renounces its authorisation. ESMA’s withdrawal decision follows the notification by Euronext of its intention to renounce its authorisation under the conditions set out in Article 27e(a) of MIFIR.
All Euronext clients have switched to other authorised DRSPs of their choice or started to report transactions directly to National Competent Authorities.
ESMA has updated its list of authorised DRSPs in the EU.
