### Question

For the purpose of Article 62(1) of the MiFID II Delegated Regulation, if the same threshold is exceeded again and again during the same reporting period, should the firm report the fact to the client each time the threshold is exceeded?

### Answer

\[ESMA 35-43-349 MiFID II Q&As Investor protection Ch. 8, question 12\]
