MiFID II/MiFIR: Participant reference data and enhancement of order records

The regulatory changes of the revised Markets in Financial Instruments Directive (MiFID II) and the associated Markets in Financial Instruments Regulation (MiFIR) will come into effect on 3 January 2018.

To comply with its reporting obligations, Eurex Bonds is required to collect additional Participant reference data and enhance the information that needs to be provided with order and quote messages. In addition, according to RTS 7, Art. 7 (see encl.), Eurex Bonds shall conduct an annual due diligence assessment of its Participants and verify once a year if the Participants are still registered as investment firms as defined in MiFID II Art. 4(1) (see encl.).

With this circular, Eurex Bonds informs its Participants about the required data and additional fields that will be implemented in Xetra order and quote messages in this context. Furthermore, we provide further information about additional amendments.
