Markets in Financial
Instruments Directive (MiFID)
DIRECTIVE 2004/39/EC
Article 41
Suspension and removal of instruments from trading
1. Without prejudice to the right of the competent authority under
Article 50(2)(j) and (k) to demand suspension or removal of an
instrument from trading, the operator of the
regulated market may suspend or remove from trading a financial
instrument which no longer complies with the rules of the
regulated market unless such a step would be likely to cause
significant damage to the investors' interests or the orderly
functioning of the market.
Notwithstanding the possibility for the operators of regulated
markets to inform directly the operators of other regulated
markets, Member States shall require that an operator of a
regulated market that suspends or removes from trading a financial
instrument make public this decision and communicates relevant
information to the competent authority.
The competent authority shall inform the competent authorities of
the other Member States.
2. A competent authority which demands the suspension or removal
of a financial instrument from trading on one or more regulated
markets shall immediately make public its decision and inform the
competent authorities of the other Member States.
Except where it could cause significant damage to the investors'
interests or the orderly functioning of the market the competent
authorities of the other Member States shall demand the suspension
or removal of that financial instrument from trading on the
regulated markets and MTFs that operate under their authority.
