EFAMA supports the European Commission's initiative to establish the European Single Access Point. We see it as a unique opportunity for the Capital Markets Union to centralise all publicly available ESG and financial transparency information data in one place.
Data
In the modern economy, data is increasingly becoming a strategic asset. This is particularly true for the asset management industry, where data forms the backbone of the daily activities and internal processes necessary to guarantee best practices in portfolio management.
Asset managers are major users of a variety of data, including market data, index data and, increasingly, ESG data. EFAMA advocates for, and seeks to support members’ access to, high-quality, standardised and comparable data at a fair price. EFAMA also encourages the creation of a well-structured, reasonably priced consolidated tape fed by all trading venues and systematic internalisers for all financial instruments.

EFAMA's reply to ESMA's CP on the Guidelines on the MiFID II / MiFIR Obligations on Market Data
EFAMA welcomes this ESMA initiative and we agree with the conclusions in the ESMA Report that there is an overall need to strengthen the laws applicable to data in connection with the MiFIDII/MiFIR Review, aside the implementation of a Consolidated Tape . We consider that the draft Guidelines will further strengthen the MiFID level 1 and level 2 measures and will foster the establishment of a cost-based approach for market data procurement. Therefore, we would be in favour of turning the proposed guidelines into binding regulation.
