European regulatory filings · point-in-time

What European regulators publish, as it was known on the day.

Net short positions from five regulators and director dealings from BaFin, linked to ISIN and LEI. Every row carries the moment QNT42 first had it, and corrections arrive as new versions, never as edits.

Short Selling Regulation

Net short positions

Every published position at or above 0.5%, every drop below it, and exits inferred when a position leaves a regulator's list. Inferred rows are flagged as such, never mixed with published ones.

MAR article 19

Director dealings

Managers' transactions published by BaFin: person, role, buy or sell, price, amount and publication time. Rows the regulator removes or lets expire keep their history.

Reference data

Issuers, instruments and parents

ISIN from ESMA FIRDS, LEI and ownership from GLEIF. Shared with QNT42 Satellite, so filings and facilities join on the same entity id.

Provenance

Every source file kept

Each file downloaded from a regulator is stored with its checksum and the time it was fetched, so any row traces back to what was published.

Coverage by country.

Updated twice a day from each regulator. Every count matches the regulator's own current list, or the difference is explained.

Country	Regulator	Net short positions	Director dealings
Germany	BaFin, Bundesanzeiger	Since 2003	Last 12 months, live

Spain	CNMV	Since 2010	Next
Netherlands	AFM	Since 2012	Next
