Federal Act
on Financial Market Infrastructures and Market Conduct in Securities and Derivatives Trading
(Financial Market Infrastructure Act, FinMIA)

¹ The trad­ing ven­ue shall su­per­vise price form­a­tion and the trans­ac­tions con­duc­ted on the trad­ing ven­ue so that in­sider trad­ing, price and mar­ket ma­nip­u­la­tion and oth­er vi­ol­a­tions of stat­utory and reg­u­lat­ory pro­vi­sions can be de­tec­ted. For this pur­pose, it shall also re­view the trans­ac­tions con­duc­ted out­side of the trad­ing ven­ue that are re­por­ted to it or are brought to its at­ten­tion in any oth­er way.

² In the event of sus­pec­ted vi­ol­a­tions of the law or oth­er ir­reg­u­lar­it­ies, the body re­spons­ible for su­per­vising trad­ing (trad­ing su­per­vis­ory body) shall no­ti­fy FINMA. If the vi­ol­a­tions of the law in­volve crim­in­al of­fences, it shall also in­form the com­pet­ent pro­sec­u­tion au­thor­ity without delay.

³ FINMA, the com­pet­ent pro­sec­u­tion au­thor­ity, the Takeover Board and the trad­ing su­per­vis­ory body shall ex­change in­form­a­tion which they re­quire with­in the con­text of their col­lab­or­a­tion and in or­der to carry out their tasks. They shall use the in­form­a­tion re­ceived solely to carry out their re­spect­ive tasks.
