IRELAND: Central Bank of Ireland publishes forms and information on the notification process for reporting of net short selling positions under new EU Short Selling Regulation

Wednesday October 31 2012

Further to the update of the 22^nd October 2012, the Irish Central Bank has published forms for the notification of net short selling positions in shares, sovereign debt and uncovered credit default swaps.

Notification forms must be submitted in Excel format. A valid identifier code must be included on the notification form. Where a notification form is rejected it is the responsibility of the position holder to submit an amended notification form to the Central Bank of Ireland to ensure compliance with its obligations under the EU Short Selling Regulations. Cancellation forms have also been published for erroneous notifications.

In addition, details of significant net short positions in shares will be published on the Central Bank of Ireland’s website. Position holders should complete the “Data Publication” section of the notification form to indicate that public disclosure is required.
