EFAMA publishes recommendations for the SFDR review
Yesterday, EFAMA hosted asset management firms from across Europe to discuss how tokenisation is reshaping the industry at the Redefining assets: tokenisation and the future of investment
EFAMA supports the European Commission’s Omnibus Simplification Package as a crucial step towards reducing bureaucracy and enhancing EU competitiveness. While simplification is necessary, given the current geopolitical developments, it must not compromise the availability and quality of essential sustainable information for investors and asset managers. We, therefore, consider legal clarity and alignment across EU regulations essential to support the transition to a sustainable economy.
EFAMA publishes recommendations for the first Omnibus package
The industry welcomes the fact that IOSCO’s 2013 Principles remain relevant and appropriate and that no important gaps in the Principles have been identified. In the consultation report, we are pleased to see the resilience of the ETF structure being recognised, despite the severity of the March 2020 market correction and of more recent episodes, concluding that no ETF-specific structural issues have been identified as a cause for regulatory concern.
EFAMA welcomes the opportunity to respond to the EC’s targeted consultation on the functioning of the ESG rating market in the EU and on the consideration of ESG factors in credit ratings. Please note that our response covers, at the same time, ESG ratings and ESG data providers, as the demand for ESG “raw” data has been increasing at a steady pace. The use of ESG data has also rapidly shifted from a narrow set of investment products to being prolific across all investment products.
EFAMA wholeheartedly supports a retail investment strategy that gives EU citizens the necessary tools and the confidence to put their savings to work by investing in capital markets.
Building on our reply to the consultation on the review of VAT rules for FS, EFAMA took the opportunity to re-engage with TAXUD to share a short statement on EC's Consultation on VAT in the digital age. The aim was to highlight the relevance for our industry of specific problems concerning the VAT treatment of services supplied via platforms within the Financial Services sector.
