Legislation exists in most financial markets to specify the detail of what is prohibited as market abuse and within the EU this is covered by the Market Abuse Directive ([https://www.esma.europa.eu/system/files/Dir_03_6.pdf Directive 2003/6/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 28 January 2003]) and the revised Market Abuse Directive II and the Market Abuse Regulation which are due to be enacted in 2014.


For example trading in a company's shares whilst in the possession of inside information that a profits warning was about to be announced would be insider trading and therefore market abuse.
