EP adopted UCITS directive


Rapporteur Wolf Klinz reminded the fund industry to come up with a valuable proposal on the treatment of fund processing. Otherwise, legislative measures have to discussed, he said.

The Parliament adopted the recast of the UCITS directive inserting provisions for a "management company passport".

 

The directive still needs to be approved by the Council, but the informal agreement already reached means this is now a formality.  Member States will need to enact national legislation to apply the main changes by 1 July 2011.

 

In a statement following the vote rapporteur Wolf Klinz reminded the fund industry to come up with a valuable proposal on the treatment of fund processing. Otherwise, legislative measures have to discussed, he said.
