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 />
