+Article 17 2. |
Article 17 2.The Commission may, in accordance with the procedure referred to in Article 44(2), adopt decisions determining that the legal and supervisory framework of a third country ensures that a market authorised in that third country complies with legally binding requirements which are, for the purpose of the application of the exemption set out in paragraph 1, equivalent to the requirements under Title III of Directive 2004/39/EC, under Directive 2003/6/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 28 January 2003 on insider dealing and market manipulation (market abuse) (
5
) and under Directive 2004/109/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 15 December 2004 on the harmonisation of transparency requirements in relation to information about issuers whose securities are admitted to trading on a regulated market (
6
), and which are subject to effective supervision and enforcement in that third country. The legal and supervisory framework of a third country may be considered equivalent where that third country’s:
(a)
markets are subject to authorisation and to effective supervision and enforcement on an ongoing basis;
(b)
markets have clear and transparent rules regarding admission of securities to trading so that such securities are capable of being traded in a fair, orderly and efficient manner, and are freely negotiable;
(c)
security issuers are subject to periodic and ongoing information requirements ensuring a high level of investor protection; and
(d)
market transparency and integrity are ensured by preventing market abuse in the form of insider dealing and market manipulation. 1. Panoramica
