The European Securities and Markets Authority has translated the following Market Abuse Regulation (MAR) guidelines into the 22 official languages of the EU:

• guidelines on persons receiving market soundings. The guidelines apply in relation to the factors, the steps and the records that the persons receiving the market soundings will have to consider and implement according to Article 11(11) of MAR; and
• guidelines on delay in the disclosure of inside information. The guidelines provide a non-exhaustive and indicative list of legitimate interests of the issuers that are likely to be prejudiced by immediate disclosure of inside information and situations in which delay of disclosure is likely to mislead the public, according to Article 17(11) of MAR.

Both guidelines apply from 20 December 2016.
