EUROPE: ESMA publishes links to national websites for EU short selling disclosures

Monday October 22 2012

According to Article 9 of Regulation (EU) No 236/2012 on EU short selling and certain aspects of credit default swaps, net short position in shares should be publicly disclosed on a central website operated or supervised by the relevant competent authority. The address of that website should be communicated to ESMA, which should post on its own website.

ESMA has published a table listing the links to these central websites operated or supervised by relevant competent authorities. Where available, it also includes both the links to the national language and English versions of the relevant sections of the central website.

The list will be updated upon reception by ESMA of new information from national competent authorities.
