Market Abuse
The Market Abuse European Regulation 596/2014 and the Directive 2014/57/EU on the criminal penalties applicable to market abuse focuses on harmonizing the rules and following the developments in the financial markets following the 2008 crisis. The requirements for the prevention of market abuse are directly applicable through the Regulation.
How market abuse disrupts investor's confidence

Market abuse is in the scope of European legislators as it destroys the integrity of the market and leads to financial instability. Investors must be protected from any manipulation and must feel confident to invest in the EU market.
A characteristic example of manipulation are cases of manipulation of interest rate benchmarks such as LIBOR and EURIBOR. The Benchmarks Regulation 2016/2011 of the EU came as a response to many allegations for benchmarks manipulation.
