QCA response to the Questionnaire by Markus Ferber MEP on MiFID II
The Quoted Companies Alliance Legal Committee has responded to a questionnaire released by Markus Ferber MEP, the rapporteur for MiFID II. The questionnaire looked for opinions on the development of SME Growth Markets. We responded by stating that the SME Growth Market category will provide better access to capital markets for SMEs by allowing for more appropriate and proportionate listing and ongoing disclosure requirements in a transparent way that attracts investors. Our response also welcomed the European Commissions thought on complex and non-complex securities, in particular the classification of MTF shares as non-complex securities.
