The MiFID II Quick Fix

Diana Ribeiro Duarte, Pedro Capitão Barbosa e Sofia Araújo Baptista signed the article entitled “The MiFID II Quick Fix”, published in the digital platform Lexology:

«After its implementation in 2004, Directive 2004/39/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 21 April 2004 on markets in financial instruments has developed into Directive 2014/65/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 15 May 2014 ("MiFID II"), with MiFID III already in the oven (the European Commission has already published a legislative amendment to MiFID II on 25 November 2021).

While waiting for the European Parliament and the Council to analyze the European Commission's latest proposal, it should be useful to take a further look into the most recent and significant changes to the MiFID framework: on 26 February 2021, the so-called MiFID II “Quick Fix”, Directive 2021/3381 , was published in the Official Journal of the European Union. This Directive was implemented in Portugal by Decree-Law no. 109-H/2021 of December 10, which entered into force on February 28 2022.»
