Where the information specified to be reported is not available at the time of reporting, the report shall include at least the reasons why the reporting persons suspect that the transactions might constitute insider dealing or market manipulation. All remaining information shall be provided to the CMSD as soon as it becomes available.
Persons making suspicious transactions reports therefore, do not need to have all the required information before contacting the CMSD. If the case is one which (the persons subject to the reporting obligation consider) needs to be brought to the attention of the CMSD urgently, then the person(s) concerned shall make the first contact quickly. This can be done by telephone if appropriate, giving the basic details and reasons for suspicion, followed by written confirmation. The other information can be supplied subsequently.
