In the Official Journal of the European Union, series L 120, of May 23rd, 2015, has been published the Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2015/761 supplementing Directive 2004/109/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council with regard to certain regulatory technical standards on major holdings.
The object of the Regulation: Directive 2004/109/EC establishes transparency requirements relating to information about issuers whose securities are admitted to trading on a regulated market. That Directive also requires development of regulatory technical standards to ensure consistent application of the regime for notification of the acquisition or disposal of major holdings and related exemptions. The provisions in this Regulation are closely linked, since they deal with the requirements relating to notification of major holdings in listed companies. To ensure coherence between those provisions, which should enter into force at the same time, and to facilitate a comprehensive view and compact access to them by persons subject to those obligations, including investors that are non-Union residents, it is desirable to include certain of the regulatory technical standards required by Directive 2004/109/EC in a single Regulation. This Regulation is based on the draft regulatory technical standards submitted by the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) to the Commission. This Regulation lays down detailed rules for the implementation of Article 9(6b), Article 13(1a)(a) and (b) and Article 13(4) of Directive 2004/109/EC.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the twentieth day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
