The European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA), the EU’s financial markets regulator and supervisor, has today published its latest edition of its Spotlight on Markets Newsletter.

Your one-stop-shop in the world of EU financial markets focused on the launch of the new visual identity. ESMA is all about fostering the effectiveness and stability of EU markets, and enhancing the protection of retail investors, both through strengthened supervision. The design of the new logo shines in the context of the ESMA Strategy 2023-28. Check the video and the campaign.

We published articles on the EU Ecolabel and on operational resilience and the 2022 European Single Electronic Format (ESEF) XBRL taxonomy files and an update to the ESEF Conformance Suite here.

In addition, ESMA also published an Opinion on the proposed position limits for the ICE Endex Dutch Title Transfer Facility Gas contracts. Last but not least, we came out with guidance to applicants under the DLT pilot regime and guidelines and technical documentation on reporting under EMIR REFIT
