Consultation participation and their own register declarations, side by side. Counts, not judgments — participation is not influence.
Counts here are a floor, never a total: they cover the 583 consultation files tracked so far (42,224 submissions, mostly 2025–26), so an organization's real filing history is larger, not smaller.
Register facts self-declared (snapshot 2 Sept 2026); cost bands are floors. Shared files are shared attention, not evidence of coordination.
What each said, in their own words
Their opening passages on the files they share, verbatim and in filing order. We do not summarize, compare, or characterize positions — read them at source.
1. AFME responded to the European Commission’s EU Strategy for Retail Investors consultation on 3rd August 2021. Inducements and quality of advice AFME members are not supportive of establishing an outright ban on inducements.
Distinguished ladies and gentlemen, Thank you for allowing us to express our opinion on the proposed Retail Investment Strategy Directive. Ascofind is an Italian association of independent financial advisory firms. Firstly, we would like to welcome the Commission's proposal for a directive which introduces numerous changes to the existing legislation in order to enhance investor protection.
In the set of recommendations attached to this submission, AFME outlines our detailed views on the European Commissions Retail Investment Strategy proposals for the Omnibus Directive amending, among others, the Markets in Financial Instrument Directive (MiFID) and the Regulation amending the Regulation on key information documents for packaged retail and insurance-based investment products (PRIIPs).
Dear Sirs, Ascofind is an Italian Association gathering investment firms and financial advisory firms that offer investment advice on an independent basis. A recent Report on financial investments of Italian households, published in December 2020 by the Italian Authority Consob, reveals that only 33% of Italian savers access the financial markets.
AFME is scratch for the opportunity to respond to the European Commission’s Roadmap for an EU strategy for retail investors. AFME welcome the European Commission’s planning towards a comprehensive strategy for retail investors, building on the CMU HLEF report of June 2020.
