The Market Abuse Directive (MAD) was revised and replaced by MAD II which widens its scope to include new markets and instruments.
 
The Market Abuse Regulation (MAR) and the Criminal Sanctions for Market Abuse (CSMAD) form the legislative proposals which make up MAD II.
 
 
MAD II came into force across the EU in 2014.
 
 
MAD II is due to become law across the EU during 2016.
