  • Establishment of New Disclosure Regime in the European Union

    Establishment of New Disclosure Regime in the European Union

    Update: Establishment of New Disclosure Regime in the European Union In 2000, the European Union adopted a strategic plan, referred to as the Financial Services Action Plan, to create a single financial services market and facilitate the widest possible access to capital within the EU. One of the key elements of the Financial Services Action Plan is the establishment of a new EU-wide disclosure regime. The EU is in the process of passing legislation to set the regulatory framework for the new disclosure regime. The EU actions will change the requirements that capital market participants – issuers and financial intermediaries alike – will be required to meet in order to access the capital markets in the EU. The actions will impact the nature of disclosure that must be provided in connection with the offering or listing of securities and the nature of the disclosure that will be required on an ongoing basis. The actions also seek to provide greater transparency by mandating that financial statements in prospectuses and periodic reports be prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards adopted by the EU (which will preempt the use of local European GAAP regimes) (“IFRS”) or an “equivalent standard” (yet to be defined). The new disclosure regime has four key elements: • the Prospectus Directive, which generally will require any issuer to publish an approved prospectus (including financial statements prepared or restated in IFRS or an “equivalent standard”) in connection with a public offering in the EU or a listing

  • CESR's Advice on Possible Implementing Measures of the Transparency Directive

    THE COMMITTEE OF EUROPEAN SECURITIES REGULATORS Ref.: CESR/04-512c CESR’s advice on possible implementing measures of the Transparency Directive Part II: ¾ Notifications of major holdings of voting rights ¾ Half-yearly financial reports ¾ Equivalence of third countries information requirements ¾ Procedural arrangement whereby issuers may elect their ‘Home Member State’ December 2004 INTRODUCTION Background On 30th March 2004, the EU Parliament approved the Commission’s proposal for the Level 1 Directive on the harmonisation of transparency requirements for securities issuers (the Transparency Directive), subject to a number of amendments. Following on the Parliament’s decision, the European Council reached a political agreement on the Draft Directive on 11th May 2004 and agreed with the amendments adopted by the Parliament. Formal adoption and translation into the official languages of the Directive is expected to take place later this year. According to the Lamfalussy Process, the Commission may adopt implementing measures, so-called “Level 2 measures”, with respect to a large number of provisions of the Directive. Before the Commission presents a proposal for implementing measures to the European Securities Committee, it seeks the technical advice on these measures from the Committee of European Securities Regulators (“CESR”). To this aim, the Commission gives a formal mandate or sends a request to CESR for technical advice. Areas covered CESR received on 29 June 2004 the official request from the EC for technical advice on implementing measures of the Transparency Directive. The purpose of this consultation document from CESR is to seek comments on the draft technical advice that CESR proposes to give to the European Commission.
