In January 2019, I finalized the first European survey on how to ensure quality in the annual ex post reporting, that is mandatory according to MiFID II. I am very grateful, that fund associations and market participants in Germany, France, UK, Luxembourg, Belgium, Sweden, Norway and Denmark participated in the survey.
