The imminent implementation of the new European directive MIFID II, a legislation created to regulate the markets and financial instruments, will make the financial market more transparent for savers and investors.

MIFID stands for Markets in Financial Instruments Directive. In fact, it is the instrument developed by the European Union to protect the ever increasing number of investors and savers that invest their money in the markets.

The first MIFID understood as long ago as on the 1st November 2007, before the online trading boom, that it would be necessary to add new chapters and definitions to their policies. The wait is at an end with the implementation of the MIFID II fixed for the 3rd January 2018.

Tender Offers in Italy

Italy has not yet implemented the Directive on Takeover Bids (Directive 2004/25/EC, the "Directive") in its internal legal system. However, Italian tender offer rules currently in force, as set forth in Legislative Decree no. 58 of February 24, 1998, and CONSOB Regulation no. 11971 of May 14, 1999, already provide for many of the concepts set forth in the Directive, since the Italian legislation, when enacted, was based on a previous draft of the Directive.
