ESAs invite stakeholders' input on PRIIPs review

The European Supervisory Authorities (ESAs) have opened today a call for evidence regarding the PRIIPs (Packaged retail and insurance-based investment products) Regulation.

The input provided will feed into the ESAs' technical advice to the European Commission on a review of the key information document (KID) for PRIIPs.

The ESAs are requesting information from stakeholders on a range of topics including the practical application of the existing KID such as its use by financial advisors or the use of digital media, the scope of the PRIIPs Regulation and the degree of complexity and readability of the KID.

The call for evidence is open until Thursday 16 December 2021.

The ESAs also plan to hold a stakeholder event in Q1 2022 before finalising the advice. Further details about this event and how to register will be available in due course.
