Stand:updated on 13.12.2017 | Topic MVP Portal Transaction reporting (Article 26 of the MiFIR)

For the parties subject to the transaction reporting requirements specified in Article 26 Markets in Financial Instruments Regulation (MiFIR) to comply with their reporting requirements, they must submit notifications to BaFin pursuant to Article 26 of the MiFIR by means of remote data transmission.

The parties subject to the transaction reporting requirement are therefore obliged pursuant to Article 26 of the MiFIR to satisfy such reporting requirements either themselves or represented by a suitable party. Specifically for this purpose, BaFin has developed the electronic specialised procedure “Transaction reporting (Art. 26 MiFIR)” and makes this procedure available via the MVP Portal.

If you wish to submit reports as a suitable third party pursuant to Article 26 of the MiFIR, you will need prior approval as an approved reporting mechanism (ARM).Part of the procedure for approval as an ARM is the establishment of a technical connection to the MVP Portal's specialised procedure "Test Transaction reporting (Article 26 of the MiFIR)".

Before applying for the specialised procedure on the MVP Portal, please inform yourself first about the conditions that must be met in order to receive ARM status. If you have any questions in this regard, please send an e-mail to A26MiFIR@bafin.de.

Please note that for technical processing reasons the number of reports for each transmission is currently limited to 500,000. The maximum file size permitted for the manual upload (compressed GZIP file) is 200 MB.

In line with the previous transmission of transaction data pursuant to section 9 of the German Securities Trading Act (WpHG), a submission of transaction data is also to be made under Article 26 of the MiFIR on the basis of aggregated data. Submissions of single report files or high-frequent submissions per day with low numbers of reports in each file are not possible. The average number of reports per file should nearly reach the maximum file size. In this way a partial submission for one day is also possible in aggregated form.

Please direct any questions relating to the technical aspects or the content of the notification procedure “Transaction reporting (Article 26 of the MiFIR)” exclusively to:

E-mail: A26MIFIR@bafin.de

Important notice: Please note that applicants can transmit the reports pursuant to Article 26 of the MiFIR only as of the point in time when the account of the application for the specialised procedure “Transaction reporting (Article 26 of the MiFIR)” is activated.
