Summary
Key Points: 
  • The measure, which has applied since 16 March 2020, will expire on 19 March 2021.
  • The overall level of net short positions is decreasing across the EU, reducing the risk that selling pressures could initiate or exacerbate potential negative developments connected with the evolution of the pandemic.
  • The EFTA Surveillance Authority, in cooperation with ESMA, has also decided not to renew their current measure applicable to EEA EFTA States' markets, that will therefore also expire on 19 March 2021.
  • The decision requiring net short position holders to report positions of 0.1% and above was first introduced on 16 March 2020 and was renewed in June 2020, September2020 and December 2020.
