## What the amendments focus on

This dossier is the 2017 discharge for the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA). Amendments either refuse or postpone discharge, while others note the Court of Auditors found the accounts legal and regular, and stress proportionality, staying within the mandate, and reallocating resources toward enforcement. They reference anti-money-laundering work with EBA and EIOPA, an inquiry into cum-ex dividend-arbitrage schemes, and effects of the United Kingdom's withdrawal.
