It requires all Australian entities dealing in OTC derivatives report transactions to an Australian Derivatives Trade Repository (ADTR) licensed by the ASIC.

Best Execution is embedded in Article 27 of MiFID II which requires investment entities to provide the most favourable terms for the execution of client orders.

Execution venues including trading venues, systematic internalisers, market makers, liquidity providers (RTS 27 reports) and investment firms (including CFD/ FX brokers) who execute client orders through execution venues (RTS 28 reports) are required to report.
