I. – The operator of a trading venue shall ensure that its pricing structures, including execution fees, ancillary fees and any rebates, are transparent, fair and non-discriminatory and do not create incentives to submit, modify or cancel orders or execute trades in a way that contributes to disorderly trading conditions or leads to market abuse. To this end, the rates for cancelled orders may be adapted according to the length of time during which the orders are executable and calibrated according to the financial instrument concerned.
The AIFM imposes market-making obligations on its members in respect of individual shares or an appropriate basket of shares in exchange for any rebates granted.
II. – The operator of a trading venue may apply higher fees for submitting an order that is subsequently cancelled rather than an order that is executed, and apply higher fees to members that submit a high proportion of cancelled orders relative to executed orders and to those that use high-frequency algorithmic trading, in order to reflect the additional burden this places on the capacity of the system.
