ESMA - Final Report on the Technical Advice concerning civil prospectus liability
ESMA has published the final report on the Prospectus Regulation and on civil prospectus liability.
The technical advice on civil prospectus liability presents: (i) feedback received on the CfE where many stakeholders consider that the current regime is well-balanced and argue that reform is unnecessary at this stage;(ii)ESMA’s ensuing advice; and (iii) an update of the sections of the 2013 Report on prospectus liability related to civil prospectus liability.
The EC must present a report to the European Parliament and to the Council by 31 December 2025. This should analyse the issue of liability for the information given in a prospectus, assessing whether further harmonisation of the prospectus liability in the Union could be warranted
