June 6, 2016--The European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) has issued today an economic report on order duplication and liquidity measurement in EU equity markets.
Order duplication means that traders replicate the same order on multiple trading venues at the same time. The report, which takes into account high-frequency trading (HFT), finds that overall multi-venue trading has increased the liquidity in EU equity markets. But the report also shows that 20% of orders across European venues are duplicated and 24% of duplicated trades are immediately cancelled if unmatched.

June 2, 2016--The European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) has today published a Statement reminding banks and investment firms ('firms') of their responsibility to act in their clients' best interests when selling bail-in-able financial instruments.
New Banking Recovery and Resolution Directive (BRRD) rules in force since January 2016 mean firms are likely to issue a significant amount of potentially loss-bearing instruments to fulfil their obligations and ESMA is concerned investors-in particular retail investors-are unaware of the risks they may face when buying these instruments.
