The response covers ESMA’s analysis on the impact of short selling bans, the definition of the relevant competent authority and ESMA’s proposal on a centralized notification and publication system, among other areas.
ESMA is now expected to take stakeholder feedback into account and submit a report to the European Commission in the first quarter of 2022.
