Small investors to get better protection through revised EU law on financial markets.
We welcome the revision of the EU legislation on markets in financial instruments aimed at increasing transparency and fairness of European financial markets. We expect EU member states to apply the new rules consistently when they enter into effect.
The S&Ds strongly support the new rules, in particular the introduction of a general ban on ‘payment for order flow’ – a practice where brokers direct consumers’ investments to certain trading venues for a fee.
