Recital 4

(4)Although pre-trade transparency in equity and equity-like instruments increased due to the application of Delegated Regulation (EU) 2017/587, the level of real time pre-trade transparency remains low for exchange traded funds (ETFs). This is a consequence of a significant percentage of ETF transactions, both in terms of the number of trades and volume traded, currently benefitting from a waiver, in particular the large in scale waiver as provided for in Article 4(1), point (c), of Regulation (EU) No 600/2014. Therefore, the objective of that Regulation of increasing the transparency in the ETF market has not been fully achieved. To increase real-time pre-trade transparency in ETF, it is therefore necessary to increase the pre-trade large in scale transparency threshold applicable to ETFs. The increase of the threshold will ensure that more transactions in ETFs are subject to real-time pre-trade transparency requirements while ensuring sufficient protection against price impact for large orders.
