Market Abuse Directive
Description
The Market Abuse Directive will create a regime to tackle market manipulation in the EC and update the existing EC insider dealing legislation. The UK's own market abuse regime came into force on 30th November 2001. The new regulations are designated to come substantively into effect on 1 July 2005.
The UK government supports the aim of this Directive. An effective market abuse regime will tackle financial crime and improve market integrity.
