Recital 73

(73) Article 19 of Regulation (EU) No 596/2014 provides for preventive measures against market abuse and, more specifically, insider dealing, concerning persons discharging managerial responsibilities and persons closely associated with them. Such measures range from the notification of transactions in financial instruments of the relevant issuer to the prohibition to conduct transactions in such instruments during certain defined periods. In particular, Article 19(8) of Regulation (EU) No 596/2014 provides that persons discharging managerial responsibilities are required to notify the issuer and the competent authority where those persons have transactions reaching the threshold of EUR 5 000 in a calendar year, as well as any subsequent transaction in the same year. The notifications concern, as regards issuers, transactions conducted by persons discharging managerial responsibilities or persons closely associated with them on their own account relating either to the shares or debt instruments of that issuer, or to derivatives or other financial instruments linked thereto. Article 19(9) of Regulation (EU) No 596/2014 provides that competent authorities are able to increase the threshold to EUR 20 000.
