ESMA launches one-stop shop for EU regulated investment information

25 February 2014

ESMA has put in place new consolidated registers on its website. This is a reference tool aimed at enhancing investor protection by improving transparency across the EEA and providing the public with access to official information.

The Consolidated Registers are easy-to-use tools listing the information currently published on the websites of the national competent authorities for the securities regulation (NCAs) of 31 European Economic Area (EEA) Member States.

The Consolidated Registers provide the following information:

• a list of investment firms authorised under Article 5 of MiFID (2004/39/EC);
• a list of prospectuses, supplements and certificates of approval that have been approved under the Prospectus Directive (2003/71/EC);
• a list of administrative measures and sanctions imposed upon investment firms under Article 51 of MiFID;
• a list of sanctions imposed on MiFID investment firms under Article 14 of the Market Abuse Directive (2003/6/EC);
• a list of management companies authorised under Article 6 of Directive 2009/65/EC.

The Consolidated Registers is a reference tool aimed at enhancing investor protection by improving transparency across the EEA and providing the public with access to official information. Information in the Consolidated Registers is compiled by ESMA using data provided by NCAs, who are solely responsible for the data’s accuracy and completeness.

The Consolidated Registers have been set up with the assistance of the EEA NCAs. This is an ongoing process and ESMA will continue to work with the NCAs to ensure that a complete set of data for all NCAs is available in the Consolidated Registers.
