In February this year, the European Supervisory Authorities (ESAs) issued draft technical advice on EOS PRIIPs, along with a consultation paper (CP) on their proposals. On the back of responses to that CP, they have now submitted their Joint Technical Advice to the European Commission.
Further to our blog last month, the FCA has now published its updated policy statement on MiFID II implementation.
Earlier this week, the European Supervisory Authorities (ESAs) published their much-anticipated Q&As on various aspects of the PRIIPs KID and the Commission also issued its draft guidelines on PRIIPs.
The European Working Group (EWG) met last month and has issued an updated European MiFID Template (EMT), which aims to standardise the data to be provided by fund groups to platforms and advisers to help them deliver their client reports under MiFID II.
The investment industry across Europe is preparing for the introduction of two major pieces of legislation, PRIIPs and MiFID II, at the start of 2018.
Further to consultation paper CP16/18 last year, the FCA has now issued policy statement PS17/6.
The latest version of the PRIIPs Regulatory Technical Standards (RTS) were published last month. You would think that, with the amount of thought and debate that have gone into PRIIPs since 2014, the RTS would cover every situation and to have a clear rule for each. But, sadly, that isn’t the case.
In a move that was widely anticipated – but not quite so soon – the European Parliament officially raised no objections to the revised PRIIPs Regulatory Technical Standards (RTS) and approved them on 30 March. This follows the decision by the Economic and Monetary Affairs Committee (ECON) to give the RTS the all-clear two days earlier.
