Amendment 22 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 2 a (new)
(2a) The purpose of this Regulation is to cover packaged products that are manufactured by the financial services industry in order to provide additional investment opportunities to retail investors. Non-equity securities issued by non-financial issuers contribute to the financing of corporate issuers and, where they are offered to retail investors, will be subject to the obligation to draw up a prospectus, which includes a summary, thus providing retail investors with adequate pre-contractual information. These securities should be excluded from the scope of this Regulation. The current requirement to produce, review and update a key information document for such non-equity securities, until their maturity, encourages issuers to restrict them to professional investors only, thus depriving retail investors of investment options. Addressing non-equity securities issued by non-financial issuers will therefore remove this incentive and might encourage retail investors’ participation in Union capital markets, while offering those retail investors with more opportunities to diversify their financial portfolios.

Amendment 24 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 4
(4) Retail investors increasingly seek information on the sustainability performance of investment products, including PRIIPs. Recent Union legislative acts have introduced several disclosure obligations that could be leveraged to inform retail investors, in particular Regulation (EU) 2019/2088 of the European Parliament and of the Council13 and Regulation (EU) 2020/852 of the European Parliament and of the Council14 . Such disclosures may, however, not be sufficiently visible to retail investors. It is therefore necessary to add certain information about the sustainability profile of PRIIPs to the key information document. To avoid additional reporting costs, that ESG information should be taken from the disclosures provided by product manufacturers pursuant to Regulation (EU) 2019/2088 and Regulation (EU) 2020/852. __________________ 13 Regulation (EU) 2019/2088 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 November 2019 on sustainability- related disclosures in the financial services sector (OJ L 317, 9.12.2019, p. 1). 14 Regulation (EU) 2020/852 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 18 June 2020 on the establishment of a framework to facilitate sustainable investment, and amending Regulation (EU) 2019/2088 (OJ L 198, 22.6.2020, p. 13).deleted
