Key points

  • The proposal aims to create a more integrated European capital market by reducing regulatory fragmentation across Member States.
  • ESMA would be granted direct authority to supervise and authorize large asset management groups that are systemically important to the Union.
  • A new 'depositary passport' is proposed to allow depositary services to operate across the EU without being restricted to the same Member State as the fund.
  • National authorities must remove discrepancies in how they implement rules by the end of 2028 to ensure a level playing field.
