[ESMA 70-872942901-35 MiFIR transparency Q&A, Q&A 6.6]

Before a trading venue starts operating as well as before an instrument is admitted to trading or traded on a trading venue for the first time, that trading venue should verify whether the respective instrument(s) is(are) traded on other trading venues and is(are) subject to an EU level suspension under the Double Volume Cap mechanism. In case of an active suspension, the start of the operations or the admission to trading or trading can still take place but trading under the waivers as per Articles 4(1)(a) and 4(1)(b)(i) of MiFIR should not be allowed until the end of the suspension for the concerned instrument(s).
