Accounting and consulting firms such PWC, Deloitte, EY etc. Pubic affairs consultancies and law firms representing stakeholders. SMEs' trade associations. Trade unions such as Uni-Europa, Nordic financial unions or any other unions that had contacts with these officials on MiFID/R II. Retail investor associations such as Better Finance or others including national ones. NGOs such as Finance Watch, Oxfam, Global Justice, SOMO, WEED etc. Any academics that might have exchanged ideas on MiFID issues with the fore mentioned Commission officials.

I would like to include in my request all subject matters of MiFID/MiFIR II. I mention some as examples, without my request being limited to them: market structure rules (on RMs, MTFs, OTFs, SIs and OTC trading), scope of the trading obligation on oragnised venues, transparency waivers, market data publication and consolidated tape, rules on HFT, rules on commodity derivatives, investors' protection and third coutries regime.

Dear Mr Vassalos,

As for your previous request with reference Gestdem 2017/4398, the current request means a considerable amount of work, due the number of documents referred to in the request and their volume, but also on their nature and the diversity of the tasks required to find these documents. The process does not only include searching, extracting, printing and sending documents from a database, but also requires an in-depth analysis of the documents, consultation of third parties, redaction of personal data and finally the elaboration of a draft answer.

The workload led by dealing with your request is disproportionate, as compared with the objectives of the application, and will substantially impair the activities of unit C3, which is a small unit with a huge amount of legislative work. Due to this everyday heavy workload, we are not in a position to assign colleagues to deal full time with your request for several months, which would have a negative impact on the operational performance of our Unit.

Hence, we kindly invite you to agree on an extension of the time limit to handle your application, i.e. until 23 April 2018.

Thank you in advance for your understanding.

Yours sincerely,

European Commission
DG Financial Stability, Financial Services and Capital Markets Union

Dear Financial Stability, Financial Services and Capital Markets Union,

You managed to handle my previous request Gestdem 2017/4398 covering a period of 2 years and a half in two months and nine days (from October 12 to December 21) . So, it should be possible to handle this request covering a period of one year only in two months time which is before the end of March.

What do you think?

Yours faithfully,
