The ESMA-Pol Standing Committee undertakes ESMA’s work on issues relating to market surveillance, enforcement of securities laws, facilitation of cooperation of national authorities and exchange of information in market abuse investigations.

Regarding surveillance, the Standing Committee works in order to enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of the market surveillance activities of national authorities, including the use of various market surveillance tools (including analysis of transaction reports). The Standing Committee also provides a forum in which national authorities may share their experiences concerning their market surveillance and enforcement activities.

In the area of cooperation, the Standing Committee works to ensure efficient and timely cooperation in cross-border cases and facilitates sharing of information under the ESMA MMoU.

Finally, the Standing Committee has responsibility for elaborating advice to the European Commission, and technical standards and guidelines and recommendations on issues relating to the integrity of markets (e.g. MAD and short selling).

Any correspondence regarding the work of this Standing Committee should be sent to the ESMA Staff.
