Lawmakers have taken advantage of the likely delay to Mifid II to table draft amendments to the overhaul of Europe's trading rulebook that aim to stave off the prospect of non-finance companies becoming caught up in rules meant to govern high-frequency traders.
The amendments, which will be voted on by MEPs on March 17, are designed to clarify rules in the review of the Markets in Financial Instruments Directive that cover packaged transactions, as well as to whom the rules apply.
