Since the entry into force of Regulation (EU) No. 596/2014 on market abuse (Market Abuse Regulation, MAR) on 3 July 2016 and due to the coming into effect of Regulation (EU) No. 600/2014 on markets for financial instruments (MiFIR) on 3 January 2018, the respective exchanges are obligated to transmit reference data for all traded securities on a daily basis.
Apart from transmitting specific securities- and admission-related data, the respective reference data reports must include the reporting of a Legal Entity Identifier (“LEI”) of the issuer. Moreover, with the implementation of MiFID II/MiFIR, this reference data will be used as basis for transaction data reporting from January 2018.
