Nowadays, the license of an investment consultant and broker is an important document that corresponds to the European supremacy of MIFID
The EU Directive 2004/39/EC on Markets in Financial Instruments (MiFID or MiFID I) enables these people and Forex service providers who are licensed in at least one of the member countries of the European Union (EU) to present and offer their services in all financial markets in the EU/EEA. All EU members can use these services. It is MiFID that regulates and is responsible for all possible financial and investment services in the EU.
