The Markets in Financial Instruments Directive, MiFID, is a European Union instrument which provides a harmonised regulatory regime for investment services across the 30 member states of the European Economic Area to increase competition and consumer protection in investment services.
The accreditation awarded by the independent Financial Supervisory Authority of Norway guarantees that Bergen Energi's systems and routines are approved and audited, offers improved investor protection for clients and verification that they are working with a licensed service provider. John Daynes Bergen Energi's Vice President for the UK and Ireland said, "We work extremely hard to provide best in class services to our clients and maintain complete transparency which sets us apart from the competition.
The addition of the MiFID accreditation goes a step further by providing independent approval of the way we work and what we deliver. "We see this latest development as another element of added value to our services and takes us another step ahead of the competition." In the UK, MiFID has been incorporated into The Financial Services Authority's (FSA) handbook of rules and guidance. • Bergen Energi UK based in Leeds, West Yorkshire, is one of the UK's leading energy service providers.
