On January 23, 2015, a Delegated Regulation correcting the Regulation on notification of significant net short positions in sovereign debt (which supplements the Short Selling Regulation) was published in the Official Journal of the European Union. The amended article of the Regulation originally only referred to the notification threshold on significant net short positions in shares, but should also have referred to the notification threshold on significant net short positions in sovereign debt. The correcting Delegated Regulation rectifies this omission, to avoid legal uncertainty. The Delegated Regulation enters into force on February 12, 2015.
The Delegated Regulation is available at: http://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/PDF/?uri=OJ:L:2015:016:FULL&from=EN.
