• the text of the legislative proposal for a Directive that defers the date of application of MiFID II to 3 January 2018. It also defers the date by which Member States need to transpose MiFID II to 3 July 2017; and
• the text of the legislative proposal for a Regulation that defers the date of application of MiFIR to 3 January 2018. It also makes relevant amendments to the Market Abuse Regulation and the Regulation on improving securities settlement and regulating central securities depositories.
