In view of the fact that the Markets in Financial Instruments Directive (MiFID), in force since November 2007, is one of the cornerstones of financial regulation in the EU, I support this report and acknowledge the need for a revision of the current MiFID (MiFID II) in order to address its weaknesses. Since then, however, two developments have occurred that revealed the need for improvements: firstly, the financial markets have evolved, with the emergence of new products, for instance. Secondly, the financial crisis of 2008 and the period that followed it exposed weaknesses in the functioning and transparency of these markets, as well as shortcomings in the capacity of MiFID to deal with them. The European Commission has learned the necessary lessons and proposed that MiFID should be revised. Thus, I agree with the proposed new legislation, which comprises two different legal instruments, a directive (MiFID) and the Markets in Financial Instruments Regulation (MiFIR), both of which must be examined together. I will conclude by saying that I agree with the position of the rapporteur, who advocates that future debates should focus more on the impacts of MiFIR for non-financial firms."@en1
