PRESS RELEASE 10 December 2019
FinDatEx
platform launches EMT V3 standardising data sharing under MIFID 2 BRUSSELS, 10 December
2019 – The Financial Data Exchange Templates (FinDatEx) platform today publishes
its first template, the 3rd iteration of the European MiFID Template
(EMT V3) available on FinDatEx website. This template standardises
the information on target market and costs between product manufacturers and distributors,
as required under MiFID 2. The EMT and all other FinDatEx templates are not
compulsory, provided to the industry free of charge and are free of any
intellectual property rights. FinDatEx would
like to thank its coordinators and all members of FinDatEx’s MiFID working
group for their commitment over the past several months. Today’s publication
would not have been possible without their dedication to this project. Switch-over
to EMT V3 All stakeholders
recognise the huge success of the EMT V1 (where applied) and the significant
commitment of resources required to upgrade to V3. An immediate switch-over to
EMT V3 is not required, as all EMT users are anticipated to migrate over to V3
by 10 December 2020 at the latest. Previous
versions may continue to be used for the exchange of data until that date.
During this transition period, producers of EMT data having already migrated to
EMT V3 should issue V1 or V2 upon request and, correspondingly, receivers of
EMT data having migrated to V3 should accept V1 or V2. In order to remove the
risks associated with a single conversion date, FinDatEx recommends that firms
move gradually to EMT V3. FinDatEx
understands that the Structured Product Industry has, for a number of national
markets, a more pressing need for V3 than the other industries that also use
the EMT. It may therefore be that firms in the Structured Product Industry, in
those relevant markets, will choose to be amongst the first to implement the
new template and may do so from as early as 01 January 2020. About
FinDatEx FinDatEx
(Financial Data Exchange Templates) supports the development and use of
standardised templates to exchange data between European financial sector
institutions. It is comprised of the European Association of Cooperative Banks
(EACB), the European Banking Federation (EBF), the European Fund and Asset
Management Association (EFAMA), Insurance Europe, the European Association of
Public Banks (EAPB), the European Savings and Retail Banking Group (ESBG) and
the European Structured Investment Products Association (EUSIPA). FinDatEx work
already initiated on a Solvency II tripartite template (TPT), European PRIIPs
templates (EPT and CEPT), and a MiFID feedback template will be continued.
Other workstreams are also being assessed.
