On 7 November 2006, European securities exchanges, clearing houses and central securities depositories signed the Code of Conduct on clearing and settlement. The Code aims to enhance transparency and increase competition in the post-trading sector.

To monitor implementation of the Code, the European Commission set up the Monitoring Group of the Code of Conduct on Clearing and Settlement (MOG). The group was wound up in 2010.

For further information on the Code of Conduct, see this link to the European Commission website.
