Recital 7 a (new)
(7 a) According to Regulation (EU) No 1286/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council on key information documents for packaged retail and insurance-based investment products (PRIIPs), management companies as defined in Article 2(1)(b) of Directive 2009/65/EC, investment companies as referred to in Article 27 thereof and persons advising on, or selling, units of UCITS as referred to in Article 1(2) thereof are exempt from the obligations under Regulation (EU) No 1286/2014 until 31 December 2019. That Regulation also provides that the Commission reviews Regulation (EU) No 1286/2014 by 31 December 2018, in order to assess, among others, whether this transitional exemption should be prolonged, or whether, following the identification of any necessary adjustments, the provisions on key investor information in Directive 2009/65/EC should be replaced by or considered equivalent to the key investor document under Regulation (EU) No 1286/2014. That Regulation also states that this review should include, on the basis of the information received by the European Supervisory Authorities, a general survey of the operation of the comprehension alert, taking into account any guidance developed by competent authorities in this respect. It should also include a survey of the practical application of the rules laid down in that Regulation, taking due account of developments in the market for retail investment products and the feasibility, costs and possible benefits of introducing a label for social and environmental investments. In addition, as part of its review, the Commission should undertake consumer testing and an examination of non-legislative options as well as the outcomes of the review of Regulation (EU) No 346/2013 regarding points (c), (e) and (g) of Article 27(1) thereof.
