On 28 September 2021, the European Commission adopted a Delegated Regulation amending the Short Selling Regulation as regards the adjustment of the relevant threshold for the notification of significant net short positions in shares.

The objective of the Delegated Regulation is to adjust the relevant threshold for the notification to Member State competent authorities of significant net short positions in shares set out in Article 5, paragraph (2) of the Short Selling Regulation from 0.2 % to 0.1 % (and each 0.1 % above that).

The Delegated Regulation enters into force on the twentieth day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the EU.
