The calculations shall be performed at the level of the class of financial instruments to which the liquidity test set out in Article 13 is applied.4.Before competent authorities decide to suspend transparency obligations, they shall ensure that the significant decline in liquidity across all venues is not the result of seasonal effects of the relevant class of financial instruments on liquidity.
Article 17Provisions for the liquidity assessment for bonds and for the determination of the pre-trade size specific to the instrument thresholds based on trade percentiles1.For determining the bonds for which there is not a liquid market for the purposes of Article 6 and according to the methodology specified in Article 13(1), point (b), the approach for the liquidity criterion "average daily number of trades" shall be taken applying the "average daily number of trades" corresponding to stage S3 (7 daily trades).2.Corporate bonds and covered bonds that are admitted to trading or first traded on a trading venue shall be considered to have a liquid market until the application of the results of the first quarterly liquidity determination as set out in Article 13(18) where:(a)the issuance size exceeds EUR 1000000000 during stages S1 and S2, as determined in accordance with paragraph 6;(b)the issuance size exceeds EUR 500000000 during stages S3 and S4, as determined in accordance with paragraph 6.3.For determining the size specific to the financial instrument for the purposes of Article 5 and according to the methodology specified under Article 13(2), point (b)(i), the approach for the trade percentile to be applied shall be used applying the trade percentile corresponding to the stage S3 (50th percentile).For determining the size specific to the financial instrument for the purposes of Article 5 and according to the methodology specified under Article 13(2), points (b)(ii) to (iv), the approach for the trade percentile to be applied shall be used applying the trade percentile corresponding to the stage S1 (30th percentile).4.ESMA shall, by 30 July of the year following the date of application of Regulation (EU) No 600/2014 and by 30 July of each year thereafter, submit to the Commission an assessment of the operation of the thresholds for the liquidity criterion 'average daily number of trades' for bonds as well as the trade percentiles that determine the size specific to the financial instruments covered by paragraph 8. The obligation to submit the assessment of the operation of the thresholds for the liquidity criterion for bonds ceases once S4 in the sequence of paragraph 6 is reached. The obligation to submit the assessment of the trade percentiles ceases once S4 in the sequence of paragraph 8 is reached.5.The assessment referred to in paragraph 4 shall take into account:(a)the evolution of trading volumes in non-equity instruments covered by the pre-trade transparency obligations pursuant to Article 8 and 9 of Regulation (EU) No 600/2014;(b)the impact on liquidity providers of the percentile thresholds used to determine the size specific to the financial instrument; and(c)any other relevant factors.6.ESMA shall, in light of the assessment undertaken in accordance with paragraphs 4 and 5, submit to the Commission an amended version of the regulatory technical standard adjusting the threshold for the liquidity criterion "average daily number of trades" for bonds according to the following sequence:(a)S2 (10 daily trades) by 30 July of the year following the date of application of Regulation (EU) No 600/2014;(b)S3 (7 daily trades) by 30 July of the year thereafter; and(c)S4 (2 daily trades) by 30 July of the year thereafter.7.Where ESMA does not submit an amended regulatory technical standard adjusting the threshold to the next stage according to the sequence referred to in paragraph 6, the ESMA assessment undertaken in accordance with paragraphs 4 and 5 shall explain why adjusting the threshold to the relevant next stage is not warranted. In this instance, the move to the next stage will be postponed by one year.8.ESMA shall, in light of the assessment undertaken in accordance with paragraphs 4 and 5, submit to the Commission an amended version of the regulatory technical standard adjusting the threshold for trade percentiles according to the following sequence:(a)S2 (40th percentile) by 30 July of the year following the date of application of Regulation (EU) No 600/2014;(b)S3 (50th percentile) by 30 July of the year thereafter; and(c)S4 (60th percentile) by 30 July of the year thereafter.9.Where ESMA does not submit an amended regulatory technical standard adjusting the threshold to the next stage according to the sequence referred to in paragraph 8, the ESMA assessment undertaken in accordance with paragraphs 4 and 5 shall explain why adjusting the threshold to the relevant next stage is not warranted. In this instance, the move to the next stage will be postponed by one year.

Description of the type of system and the related information to be made public in accordance with Article 2
Type of systemDescription of systemInformation to be made public
Continuous auction order book trading systemA system that by means of an order book and a trading algorithm operated without human intervention matches sell orders with buy orders on the basis of the best available price on a continuous basis.For each financial instrument, the aggregate number of orders and the volume they represent at each price level, for at least the five best bid and offer price levels.
Quote-driven trading systemA system where transactions are concluded on the basis of firm quotes that are continuously made available to participants, which requires the market makers to maintain quotes in a size that balances the needs of members and participants to deal in a commercial size and the risk to which the market maker exposes itself.For each financial instrument, the best bid and offer by price of each market maker in that instrument, together with the volumes attaching to those prices.The quotes made public shall be those that represent binding commitments to buy and sell the financial instruments and which indicate the price and volume of financial instruments in which the registered market makers are prepared to buy or sell. In exceptional market conditions, however, indicative or one-way prices may be allowed for a limited time.
Periodic auction trading systemA system that matches orders on the basis of a periodic auction and a trading algorithm operated without human intervention.For each financial instrument, the price at which the auction trading system would best satisfy its trading algorithm and the volume that would potentially be executable at that price by participants in that system.
Request-for-quote trading systemA trading system where a quote or quotes are provided in response to a request for a quote submitted by one or more other members or participants. The quote is executable exclusively by the requesting member or market participant. The requesting member or participant may conclude a transaction by accepting the quote or quotes provided to it on request.The quotes and the attaching volumes from any member or participant which, if accepted, would lead to a transaction under the system's rules. All submitted quotes in response to a request for quote may be published at the same time but not later than when they become executable.
Voice trading systemA trading system where transactions between members are arranged through voice negotiation.The bids and offers and the attaching volumes from any member or participant which, if accepted, would lead to a transaction under the system's rules.
Hybrid trading systemA system falling into two or more of the types of trading systems referred to in rows 1 to 5 of this Table.For hybrid trading systems that combine different trading systems at the same time, the requirements correspond to the pre-trade trade transparency requirements applicable to each type of trading system that forms the hybrid system.For hybrid trading systems that combine two or more trading systems subsequently, the requirements correspond to the pre-trade transparency requirements applicable to the respective trading system operated at a particular point in time.
Any other trading systemAny other type of trading system not covered by rows 1 to 6.Adequate information as to the level of orders or quotes and of trading interest; in particular, the five best bid and offer price levels and/or two-way quotes of each market maker in the instrument, if the characteristics of the price discovery mechanism so permit.
