Europe Reg Desk

Wednesday, 2026-07-29 · covering the last 24h (28–29 Jul 2026)

EU & ESMA

No material new ESMA, European Commission (DG FISMA) or EBA/ECB items on equity-market structure in this window. Standing background, previously reported: ESMA's 20 July statement urging acceleration of T+1 preparations ahead of the 11 October 2027 switchover, with 7 December 2026 as the first hard deadline for updated allocation/confirmation processes; the MiFIR consolidated-tape and equity-market call-for-evidence work remains in its feedback-statement pipeline, expected Q3 2026.

United Kingdom

No material new FCA, PRA or Bank of England items in this window, and no update on LSE 24's regulatory approval status since the 21 July launch announcement — client testing still targeted for end-2026. LSE Stock Exchange Notice N11/26 on order-flag use (27 July) remains the most recent development, already reported.

National & exchanges

Quiet across the rest of the region — no material new items from BaFin/Deutsche Börse, AMF/Euronext, Consob/Borsa Italiana, CNMV/BME, AFM, SIX or Nasdaq Nordic in the last 24 hours.
