On March 11, 2016, Commission Implementing Regulation on
implementing technical standards on the precise format of insider
lists under the EU Market Abuse Regulation was published in the
Official Journal of the European Union. The ITS set out the
requirements for issuers, emission allowance market participants,
auction platforms, auctioneers and auction monitors, or any person
acting on their behalf, to create and maintain insider lists. MAR
extends the scope of the requirements on insider lists to impose
the obligation on a wider range of persons as well as in relation
to a wider scope of financial instruments. The ITS include template
insider lists which aim to ensure the harmonization of information
being collated in insider lists across the EU and require a greater
amount of detail on insiders so that regulators may easily identify
them if they need to. The ITS will apply from July 3, 2016, the
same date that MAR will come into effect.
