Talk:Markets in Financial Instruments Directive 2014

Please correct and change 'European Council' with 'Council of the European Union'. This is a common and naive mistake but quite confusing. Read the directive for having the verification: http://europa.eu.int/eur-lex/pri/en/oj/dat/2004/l_145/l_14520040430en00010044.pdf#search=%222004%2F39%2FEC%22

Just go ahead and make the change yourself. No need to ask for permission. JanCeuleers 19:23, 10 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I did a first-pass cleanup of the external links per WP:EL and WP:SPAM. I realize that this article documents a current and ongoing event, so I left a few links of the higher-quality links that might otherwise be removed. --Ronz 16:56, 8 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

As a poor old punter who is being asked to divulge personal information I just want to know if my personal information is going to be passed on to the U.S. Thought Police. bmcluer —Preceding unsigned comment added by Bmcluer (talk • contribs) 14:44, 9 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

In the current state of the article, I find one assertion rather unclear: in Scope of MiFID, paragraph 3 states : "MiFID covers almost all tradable financial products with the exception of certain foreign exchange trades. This includes commodity (...) derivatives...". Does "This includes" refers to "covers" (i.e. commo derivatives are included) or to "the exception" (they are not included). As far as I understood, commodity derivatives were not included, but... Thanks to the specialist(s) who will bring an clear answer. -- Fourvin-en (talk) 17:12, 16 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The first one. Commodity derivatives are included (unless they must be physically settled). Stifle (talk) 14:38, 20 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

This page is quite small for something which is a huge topic. I was going to have a go at establishing a "trading venue" section, covering MTFs and SIs, and discussing OTC trading; plus some of the discussion arond crossing venues. Any suggestions on other matters to include? --Hangthebanker (talk) 23:31, 4 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

This article states:

"If a firm performs investment services and activities, it is subject to MiFID in respect both of these and also of ancillary services"

And, seemly contradictorily it states:

"That part of a firm's business that is not covered by the above is not subject to MiFID"

Well which is it? If a firm does perform investment services, are the [ancillary services / parts not covered] subject to MiFID or not?

Or, if there is a difference between ancillary services and other services, what is the difference? FreeFlow99 (talk) 08:55, 2 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
