ESMA’s Halloween Brexit Update
The European Securities and Markets Authority (“ESMA”) has announced that the relevant reference date in all ESMA’s previously published measures and actions, including public statements, regarding the possibility of a no-deal Brexit scenario should now be read as 31 January 2020.
This follows the European Council’s decision to extend the period under Article 50(3) relating to the United Kingdom’s withdrawal from the European Union. ESMA also stated that, given the nature of the current extension, ESMA will issue further announcements and updated measures as matters develop.
