Supervisory Convergence-this will be a core focus in ESMA's activities in relation to the implementation, supervision and enforcement of common EU rules. In support of this work ESMA will produce a supervisory convergence work programme and continue its cooperation with NCAs and other institutions, including the Joint Committee to ensure sectoral consistency;
MiFID II and MiFIR-this work will continue to dominate activity in 2016, however in line with the shift in priorities the focus will be particularly on guidelines and Q&As helping with the consistent implementation of MiFID II across NCAs that will need to be developed. Single rulebook activity will also continue as ESMA still has a range of Technical Standards to draft.
