Question 4.1.17

The requirements for the obligation to disclose inside information have been clarified and supplemented in chapter 7 of the fourth update of the 4th Edition of the ACER Guidance. These requirements should be fully complied with after a transition period, which will be communicated by the Agency. By which date should market participants comply with these requirements?

Answer: In order to provide market participants with an appropriate time to not only implement necessary changes regarding the disclosure mechanisms for the disclosure of inside information through platforms, but also to comply with the minimum quality requirements for an effective disclosure of inside information as laid down in the ACER Guidance, market participants should fully comply with the requirements of the ACER Guidance as of 1 July 2020.
