The main cause of the financial market crisis was the lack of effective and deterrent sanctions for market abuse and the inadequate enforcement of these sanctions. The European legislator has addressed this shortcoming by massively tightening sanctions – especially fines against legal persons. The thesis examines new legal issues that arise in particular from the increasing regulatory density at the European level. The central object of investigation is the tension between the need for deterrent sanctions and the preservation of the principle of proportionality as well as other constitutional principles at the level of the individual company as well as the level of the corporate group.

This chapter explains “transaction reporting” as the process by which detailed information about a transaction is submitted to the appropriate regulatory body. It draws attention to the European transaction reporting requirements, particularly Article 20 of the Investment Services Directive, that can be traced to 1993. It also discusses the significant expansion of the pan—European harmonised approach to transaction reporting in 2008, following the introduction of new measures to address weaknesses and close loopholes caused by the financial market crisis. This chapter outlines how transaction reporting provides the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) in the UK with a representation of the transaction that informs the competent authority about all the relevant circumstances under which the transaction took place. It describes how transaction reporting is operationally and conceptually distinct from “trade reporting” that is more concerned with the price formation.

This paper examines the behavior of financial markets efficiency during the recent financial market crisis. Using the Hurst exponent as a criterion of market efficiency we show that level of market efficiency is different for pre-crisis and crisis periods. We also classify financial markets of different countries by the level of their efficiency and reaffirm that financial markets of developed countries are more efficient than the developing ones. Based on Ukrainian financial market analysis we show the reasons of inefficiency of financial markets and provide some recommendations on their solution and thus improving the efficiency.
