Amendment 104 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 18
(18) Despite the need for consolidation between UCITS to achieve economies of scale and lower costs, mergers of UCITS encounter many legislative and administrative difficulties in the Community. It is therefore necessary, in order to improve the functioning of the Internal Market, to lay down Community provisions facilitating mergers between UCITS (and investment compartments thereof). Although some Member States have authorised only contractual funds, mergers between all types of funds (contractual, corporate and unit trusts) and between funds with differing investment objectives should be allowed and recognised by the laws of each Member State. This Directive covers those merger techniques which are most commonly used in the Member States. It does not prevent UCITS from using other techniques on a domestic or cross-border basis. These will however remain subject to the relevant provisions of national law.
