European exchanges want to offer pan-EU share price feed to investors

The EU has sought a 'consolidated tape' or aggregated feed of share prices.

European stock exchanges including Euronext and Deutsche Boerse have joined forces as they seek to offer an aggregated feed of share prices for investors to spot the best deals across a fragmented trading landscape.

The exchanges said they have created a company that will bid in a tender to operate a record of share transactions, part of European Union moves to deepen capital markets.
