UK implementation of MiFID II and MiFIR The recast Markets in Financial Instruments Directive (Directive 2014/65/EU) (MiFID II) and the new Markets in Financial Instruments Regulation (Regulation (EU) 600/2014) (MiFIR) appeared in the Official Journal of the European Union on 12 June 2014 and applied from 3 January 2018 thereafter. Together, both MiFID II and MiFIR materially revise and broaden the regime at EU level first created by the Markets in Financial Instruments Directive (2004/39/EC) (MiFID).
