Paragraph 2 no longer defines applicability by reference to a fixed "standard market size" concept but instead ties it to a threshold to be set out in regulatory technical standards adopted under paragraph 7, point (b).
Paragraph 3 changes the way the minimum quote size and the size of firm bid and offer prices are determined, now referring to that same regulatory-technical-standards threshold rather than a fixed 10% of standard market size, and drops the earlier text about sizes reflecting a range of possible sizes.
Paragraph 7 is expanded from a single unlettered mandate into five lettered items (a) through (e), adding new specifications on the threshold under paragraph 2 and the minimum quote size under paragraph 3, and the deadline for ESMA to submit the draft regulatory technical standards to the Commission is changed, with the delegated-power description also altered to refer to supplementing the Regulation.
