This Order amends the definition of “financial instrument” in Part 6 (Official Listing) of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (“the Act”) to give further implementation to Directive 2004/39/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 21 April 2004 on markets in financial instruments.
Article 2 ensures that “financial instrument” is defined in section 89F by reference to the definition of “financial instrument” given in that Directive.
Article 3 makes a consequential amendment to section 102(4), and ensures that “financial instrument” is defined for the purposes of Part 6 of the Act (other than section 89F) in the same way as that term is defined in Article 1.3 of Directive 2003/6 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 28 January on insider dealing and market manipulation as that Directive has been modified by Article 69 of Directive 2004/39/EC on markets in financial instruments. Article 4 makes the same amendment to article 5 of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (Prescribed Markets and Qualifying Investments) Order 2001.
