European Net Short Positions

Who is short which European stock, and by how much - the EU short-side signal. Under the EU Short Selling Regulation every net short position ≥ 0.5% of an issuer's shares must be disclosed to the national regulator and published. We normalise FIVE national registers - France (AMF), the Netherlands (AFM), Belgium (FSMA), Spain (CNMV) and Ireland (Central Bank) - into one clean table: every disclosed position with the holder (and its LEI where given), the issuer, ISIN, the net short percentage and the position date, back to 2010. The European analogue of the US fails-to-deliver signal, keyed by ISIN so it joins any equity feed. Built from each regulator's own open/PSI-licensed export (per-country design - more NCAs can be added as licences clear). Note: the same data is available free from each regulator.
