Consultation on ESMA's draft technical advice on possible Delegated Acts concerning the regulation on short selling and certain aspects of credit default swaps ((EC) No XX/2012)

The purpose of this consultation is to seek comments on the technical advice
that ESMA proposes to give to the European Commission on a number of possible
delegated acts concerning the Regulation as listed in the Commission request
for advice. These delegated acts should then be adopted in accordance with
Article 290 of the Treaty of the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU).

ESMA will consider the feedback it receives to this consultation and to the
open hearing to be held on 29 February 2012 in March 2012 and expects to
publish a final report and submission of the draft advice on Delegated Acts
to the European Commission by mid-April 2012.
