This French bill asks Parliament to ratify Ordinance No. 2021-738 of 9 June 2021, which transposed Directive (EU) 2020/1504 into French law.

Ratification gives parliamentary approval to the ordinance, which the government adopted under delegated powers. The changes mainly affect investment firms, trading venues, and financial market participants operating in France, along with their clients. Specific obligations depend on the content of the directive and ordinance, which are not described in the metadata provided.
