29 th 2004 implementing Directive 2003/6/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council<br />

as regards accepted market practices, the definition of inside information in relation to<br />

derivatives on commodities, the drawing up of lists of insiders, the notification of managers’<br />

transactions and the notification of suspicious transactions 2 and Directive 2004/109/EC of the<br />

European Parliament and of the Council of 15 December 2004 on the harmonization of<br />

transparency requirements in relation to information about issuers whose securities are<br />

admitted to trading on a regulated market and amending Directive 2001/34/EC 3 .<br />

CMSA defines the organization and procedures for the exercise of supervision over<br />

the capital market. The rules, laid down by the said Act, are applied to the market of securities<br />

and other financial instruments, and the market of services offered by investment funds and<br />

other collective investment undertakings, and commodities market (Article 2 (6) CMSA).<br />

Whereas, for the capital market to be able to play its role effectively, every measure<br />

should be taken to ensure that market operates smoothly. For this reason, the objective of the<br />

supervision of the PFSC is to ensure proper operation of the capital market and, in particular,<br />

security of trading and protection of investors and other market participants, as well as<br />

compliance with the principles of fair trading.<br />

The Commission is obliged to take actions intended to ensure proper operation of the<br />

capital market; exercise supervision over the activities of the regulated entities and<br />

performance by such entities of the obligations related to their participation in trading on the<br />

capital market, to the extent defined in legal regulations; perform activities related to<br />

education and information on the operation of the capital market; perform other tasks<br />

specified in legal regulations. The PFSC also has to drafts of legal acts related to the operation<br />

of the capital market and may apply to the competent authorities for enactment or amendment<br />

of secondary legislation provided for in the statutes (Article 7 (1-3) CMSA).<br />
