The Cyprus Securities and Exchange Commission (CySEC) has issued a summary of the changes to passporting arrangements and conditions governing the provision of investment services and activities by third country firms. These changes will apply as from January 3 2018 under Law 87(I)/2017, which transposes the Markets in Financial Instruments Directive (Mifid) II into Cyprus law.
