EuropeanIssuers, representing listed and capital market oriented companies across Europe, is pleased to respond to the European Commissions Call for Evidence on the 28th regime - a single harmonised set of rules for innovative companies in the EU. Please find our detailed position in the attached paper.

EuropeanIssuers welcomes the opportunity to respond to the European Commission's consultation on the revised European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS).

EuropeanIssuers welcomes the opportunity to present its feedback on the Commission’s proposal for a Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive, for which you may find a full complete response in attachment. In sum, EuropeanIssuers shares the ideal aim of the proposed Directive to enhance transparency and promote sustainable investments.

The following points are issues which EuropeanIssuers believes are necessary to address in the upcoming review of the Non-financial Reporting Directive (NFRD): • A harmonised non-financial reporting framework developed under EU leadership is needed to stop the proliferation of various public or private reporting initiatives which are not aligned and make reporting extremely time-consuming and confusing for…

In particular, EuropeanIssuers considers that competitive European banks are essential to complement strong capital markets and ensure that European companies have access to the financing and services they need at…

EuropeanIssuers represents the interests of publicly quoted companies across 15 European countries, covers markets worth 7.6 trillion market capitalisation, with approximately 8,000 companies. With this regard, EuropeanIssuers welcomes the Proposal for a decision amending Directive 2013/34/EU, concerning the time limits for the adoption of sector-specific sustainability reporting standards.

EuropeanIssuers welcomes the European Commissions proposal on multiple-vote share structures (MVSS) in order to facilitate companies listing (as well as the development of an effective Capital Markets Union). Several studies and reports (Oxera Study on Primary and Secondary Market; TESG Report, HLF on CMU Report) already suggested that one of the main reasons for not listing is the loss of control fear.

EuropeanIssuers welcomes the opportunity to comment the European Commissions Proposal for a Regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council amending Regulations (EU) 2017/1129, (EU) No 596/2014 and (EU) No 600/2014. The proposals published in December 2022 represent a great effort of simplification in line with the goals of the Capital Markets Union.

EuropeanIssuers (EI) welcomes the legislative proposals of the European Commission (EC) amending EMIR, as achieving a stronger EU clearing system actually represents a relevant development in view of EU Capital Markets Union action plan.

EuropeanIssuers welcomes the European Commissions proposal further expanding and upgrading the use of digital tools and processes in company law. While fully supporting the strengthening of the BRIS interconnection system and the "once-only" principle, EuropeanIssuers strongly opposes the introduction of new disclosure requirements for companies and the extension of the Directive to partnerships.
