The European Securities and Markets Authority published three letters from it to the European Commission concerning certain Regulatory Technical Standards under the revised Markets in Financial Instruments Directive and the Markets in Financial Instruments Regulation, together known as MiFID II. The Commission wrote to ESMA on March 14, 2016, notifying ESMA that amendments are required to the RTS on position limits for commodity derivatives, non-equity transparency requirements and on the exemption from licence requirements under MiFID II for commodity trading firms (the ancillary activities exemption). ESMA has confirmed that it will act swiftly in preparing its Opinions on the proposed amendments. It is as yet unknown whether the other RTS produced by ESMA last year have been accepted by the European Commission.
