EP - Committee report tabled for plenary, 1st reading
Details
The Committee on Economic and Monetary Affairs adopted the report by Stéphanie YON-COURTIN (Renew, FR) on the proposal for a directive of the European Parliament and of the Council amending Directives (EU) 2009/65/EC, 2009/138/EC, 2011/61/EU, 2014/65/EU and (EU) 2016/97 as regards the Union retail investor protection rules.
The committee responsible recommended that the European Parliament's position adopted at first reading under the ordinary legislative procedure should amend the proposal as follows:
Better frame the current advice environment
Members underlined the need to introduce rules that better frame the current advice environment by ensuring that financial intermediaries provide more transparent, understandable and tailored advice to clients and consumers. This should ensure that clients and consumers are being offered products suitable to their needs and that they better understand the advice they receive.
Best interest of customers
Member States should require that, when providing investment services or, where appropriate, ancillary services to consumers, an insurance undertaking or an insurance intermediary acts honestly, fairly and professionally in accordance with the best interests of its consumers.
Financial advisors should base their advice on an appropriate range of financial products suited to the client’s or customer’s needs. The range of financial products offered should take into account the business model of the firm and the investment objectives of the client or customer. The best interest of clients and customers is broader than costs. Therefore, financial advisors should, after having identified instruments suited to their clients’ or customers’ needs , recommend the most efficient product among products offering similar features to their clients and customers, taking into consideration its performance, level of risk, qualitative elements, costs and charges reported.
If advisors choose to recommend an equivalent product with higher costs to the client or customer, they should provide an objective justification for such recommendation and keep the record of that justification. Financial advisors should not place the interest of their firm ahead of the interest of their clients and customers . In the case of insurance-based investment products, advisors should also ensure that the insurance cover included in the product is consistent with the client’s or customer’s insurance demands and needs. In case that none of the products is in the best interest of the client or customer, financial advisors should refrain from giving advice or making a recommendation.
Assessment of the effectiveness of measures
The new rules strengthen the existing requirements on disclosure of inducements to ensure that retail investors understand the general concept of inducements, the potential for conflict of interest, as well as the impact of inducements on the overall costs and expected returns.
In order to assess the effectiveness of these measures, five years after the adoption of the regulatory technical standards and after having consulted the European Securities and Markets Authority (‘ESMA’) and European Insurance and Occupational Pensions Authority (‘EIOPA’), the Commission should prepare a report assessing strengthened product governance requirements, the potential conflict of interests associated with inducements, the evolution of costs, the overall level of retail investment in capital markets, consumer protection, the relevance of distribution rules and the implementation of financial literacy measures. If the Commission’s assessment does not show that the new provisions have led to positive change for consumers, the Commission may propose amendments to this Directive, if necessary.
In addition, the Commission should be mandated to prepare a report five years after the entry into force of this Directive, after consulting ESMA and national competent authorities, to assess whether providers of financial and non-financial market data should be included in the scope of this Directive.
Common European benchmarks
Both ESMA and EIOPA should, after consulting the national competent authorities and on the basis of industry testing, develop common European benchmarks for products manufactured and distributed in more than one Member State. The benchmarks should be used solely by national competent authorities as a supervisory tool to perform the assessment of the qualitative and quantitative features of the products and to identify potential outliers on the market. As a supervisory tool, those benchmarks should not be disclosed publicly and should take into account the qualitative and quantitative features of financial instruments and insurance-based investment products.
If the product deviates from a relevant benchmark, national competent authorities should have the power to take the necessary corrective actions, including requiring the firm to provide a justification for such deviation, requiring the firm to correct its approach to comply with the product governance requirements and, as a last resort measure, requiring that the product be removed from the market, if necessary.
Finfluencers
Members introduced the term ‘finfluencer’ which means a natural or legal person carrying out a commercial influence activity by mobilising their popularity to communicate to the public, by electronic means and for any sort of remuneration, content aimed at promoting, directly or indirectly, financial products or contracts.
Investment firms, insurance undertakings and insurance intermediaries which make use of finfluencers to carry out their marketing communication should establish a written agreement with the finfluencers laying out the content of their contractual relationship, namely the scope and nature of the activities carried out. They should also provide the competent authority upon request with the identity and contact details of the finfluencers whose services they rely on, and should regularly operate controls over the activities carried out by the finfluencers to ensure the finfluencers’ compliance with this Directive.
Financial culture
Trust in Union financial markets is intrinsically linked to the level of participation in those markets by retail clients. Education and knowledge are tools to empower each citizen to make informed investment decisions. However, the level of financial literacy differs significantly across Member States. According to Members, the proposed Directive should lay the ground for increasing the level of financial education in each Member State. In view of the limited competences conferred upon the Union in that area, it is the responsibility of each Member State to ensure that proper adjustments are made, particularly in their education systems, to comply with this Directive.

European Commission - Legislative proposal
Details
PURPOSE: to amend certain Directives as regards the Union retail investor protection rules.
PROPOSED ACT: Directive of the European Parliament and of the Council.
ROLE OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT: the European Parliament decides in accordance with the ordinary legislative procedure and on an equal footing with the Council.
BACKGROUND: investor protection rules are currently set out across sector specific legislative instruments, including the Markets in Financial Instruments Directive (MiFID II), the Insurance Distribution Directive (IDD), the Undertaking for Collective Investment in Transferable Securities (UCITS) Directive, the Alternative Investment Fund Managers Directive (AIFMD), and the taking-up and pursuit of the business of Insurance and Reinsurance Directive (Solvency II), as well as an amending Regulation, which revises the Packaged Retail and Insurance-based Investment Products (PRIIPs) Regulation. The rules can differ from one financial instrument to another and may sometimes be inconsistent, making the cumulative requirements confusing for retail investors. At the same time, digitalisation has led to changes in distribution models and to new forms of marketing for financial instruments towards retail clients.
The legal framework governing retail investor protection is extensive and largely harmonised at EU level. Notwithstanding this extensive body of legislation at EU level, the evidence gathering exercises have identified a number of significant shortcomings , in particular with respect to the way retail investment products are distributed and the way information is provided to retail investors.
The Commission has identified a number of problems along the retail investor's journey that hinder their ability to take full advantage of capital markets:
- retail investors have difficulties accessing relevant, comparable and easily understandable investment product information to help them make informed investment choices;
- retail investors are exposed to a growing risk of being inappropriately influenced by unrealistic marketing information through digital channels and misleading marketing practices;
- there are shortcomings in the way products are manufactured and distributed, linked to conflicts of interest that may arise as a result of the payment of inducements between product manufacturers and distributors;
- some investment products incorporate unjustifiably high levels of costs and consequently do not always offer Value for Money to the retail investor.
To address the problems on the retail investments market, further efforts are required at EU level.
On 8 October 2020, the European Parliament adopted a resolution on the future development of the capital markets union, which broadly supports measures to increase retail investor participation in capital markets.
CONTENT: therefore, the proposed Omnibus amending Directive sets out the amendments to be made to the different abovementioned Directives. Overall, it aims to update the retail investor protection rules to bring greater coherence to the legislative framework whilst reinforcing investor protection rules.
Its general objectives are to strengthen the protection framework for retail investors to empower them when taking investment decisions and to ensure their fair treatment when using investment services in order to achieve better investment performance. The retail investment strategy also aims to improve the efficiency and integration of the internal market across all retail financial services.
The specific objectives of this proposal are as follows:
- improving information provided to investors and their ability to take well-informed investment decisions. The proposal aims to improve the legal framework by adapting disclosures to the digital environment, making disclosures more relevant for retail investors and ensuring retail investors receive marketing communications, also through online channels, that are relevant and not misleading. Moreover, the existing record keeping obligation to all marketing communications which are directly or indirectly made by the investment firms, insurance undertakings and insurance intermediaries should be extended;
- better aligning interests between intermediaries and investors . The improvements to the framework would ensure that the advice given to retail investors is not biased by monetary or non-monetary incentives provided by product manufacturers to intermediaries, is of good quality and adapted to their needs, preferences and objectives;
- ensuring that retail investors are offered cost-effective products . A strengthened approach in the legislative framework based around the value offered aims to help retail investors achieve better returns and easier access to more cost-efficient retail investment products. The proposal gives a mandate to ESMA and EIOPA to develop, make publicly available, and regularly update cost and performance benchmarks against which the manufacturers and distributors must compare their products prior to offering them on the market.
Budgetary implications
The proposal is expected to have budgetary implications as a consequence of a number of new tasks conferred to ESMA and EIOPA.
ESMA will require additional budget for operational expenditure of EUR 1.5 million for the first three years of implementation to cover IT costs and costs related to externally contracted consumer testing of new consumer-facing disclosure tools, as well as the setting up and administering of collaboration platforms and a budget of EUR 1.26 million will be required for EIOPA.

Amendment 104 #
Proposal for a directive Recital 1 (1) A core objective of the Capital Markets Union is to ensure that consumers can fully benefit from the investment opportunities offered by capital markets.

The package of measures under the EU Retail investment strategy seeks to address the identified shortcomings.

Amendment 111 #
Proposal for a directive Recital 3 a (new) (3a) In order to ensure that retail clients or customers are not misled; it is important that clear labels are applied that identify unambiguously whether a distributor of packaged retail or investment-based investment products (PRIIPs) receives any remuneration from product manufacturers for selling the latter’s products. Only those distributors who issue personal recommendations to the client or customer and are not essentially compensated for this service by sales-related income should be able to present themselves as ‘advisors’, ‘financial advisors’ or ‘investment advisors’ and present their recommendations as ‘advice’, ‘financial advice’ or ‘investment advice’. The current EU terminology on investor protection conflates advice with sales and/or marketing, and investment advisor with a salesperson. As on any market, a distributor whose compensation is essentially (directly or indirectly) related to the act of selling and not advising is and must be clearly identified as a ‘seller’ or ‘salesperson’ and not an ‘advisor’.

Proposal for a directive Recital 4 (4) In order to remove any consumer detriment as a consequence of the payment and receipt of inducements for non-advised sales, it is appropriate to prohibit the payment and receipt of such inducements. In the case of Directive (EU) 2014/65, such prohibition would cover the execution or reception and transmission of orders and in the case of Directive (EU) 2016/97, non- advised sales. In the case of Directive (EU) 2016/97, the prohibition should not affect products with indexed policies or in cases where advice is provided during the life cycle of a product or in cases of “orphaned customers” when the policyholder decides they no longer want to use the broker, intermediary or advisor and wants to continue instructing on the policy. The lack of advice in this scenario may mean that the policyholder may not be making the right decisions which, from a consumer protection point of view, might not lead to good outcomes for customers. To avoid restricting issuers’ ability to raise funding, that prohibition should not apply to payments in relation to underwriting and placement services provided to an issuer, where the investment firm also provides an execution of order or reception and transmission of order service to an end-investor. Furthermore, investment advice is often combined with

Proposal for a directive Recital 21 a (new) (21a) Retail investors should be able to access easily a reliable and independent source information to make an informed investment decision based upon a comprehensive comparison of the different investment options available in the EU market. While on-line tools exist already in some Member States, their availability varies among Member State. A fund calculator and comparator operated by ESMA using harmonised data in a standardised format provided by manufacturers and persons selling investment products allows for a reliable and accurate comparison of products and computations based on all relevant costs and fees charged at any step of the process. This tool will facilitate the participation of retail investors in capital markets through a more convenient, transparent and reliable source for information regarding the risk and return on investment and value for money of each commercialised product.
Amendment 166 #
Proposal for a directive Recital 21 b (new) (21b) To be able to provide a comprehensive overview of the market the fund comparator, to be developed by ESMA, should allow investors to view and compare the nature and features of different products, including the costs, past performance and risk profile of the product. In order to provide specific quantitative information to the retail investor, the fund calculator should allow investors to compute the value and total costs of a fund on the basis of envisaged investment amount and holding period. To ensure greater usability, the information within it should be presented in a manner that is both understandable and concise while remaining easy to use for the retail investor. It should present the methodology and data sources in a clear and transparent manner. To limit, to the greatest extent possible, costs related to the new reporting obligations and to avoid unnecessary duplication, data sets should as far as possible be based on disclosure and reporting obligations stemming from EU law.
Amendment 167 #
Proposal for a directive Recital 22 (22) Knowledge and competence of staff are key to ensuring good quality advice. The standards of what is considered necessary vary significantly between advisors operating under Directive 2014/65/EU, Directive (EU) 2016/97 and under non-harmonised national law. To improve the quality of advice and to ensure a level playing field across the EU, strengthened minimum common standards on the necessary knowledge and competence requirements should be laid down. That is particularly relevant given the increased complexity and continuous innovation in the design of financial instruments and insurance-based investment products, and the increasing importance of sustainability-related considerations. Member States should require investment firms, and insurance and reinsurance distributors, to ensure that natural persons giving investment advice on behalf of the investment firm or as insurance intermediaries, and the employees concerned of insurance undertakings and insurance intermediaries, possess the knowledge and competence that is necessary to fulfil their obligations. To provide assurance to clients, customers and competent authorities that the level of

Proposal for a directive Recital 24 (24) The provision of cross-border investment services is essential for the development of the Capital Markets Union and proper enforcement of the rules is a key element of the single market.

Amendment 170 #
Proposal for a directive Recital 24 a (new) (24a) The Capital Markets Union enables undertakings established in the Union to exercise their rights under the freedom to provide services and the freedom of establishment, provided that they comply with certain conditions. To ensure the fair and proper application of these principles, regulators should actively cooperate through ESMA and EIOPA and exchange best practices in line with the provisions of Directives 2014/65/EU and (EU) 2016/97 to prevent any potential misuse.
Amendment 171 #
Proposal for a directive Recital 24 b (new) Amendment 172 #
Proposal for a directive Recital 26 (26) To foster supervisory convergence and facilitate cooperation between competent authorities, ESMA should be able to set up cooperation platforms on its own initiative, or at the initiative of one or more competent authorities, where justified concerns exist about investor detriment related to the provision of cross-border investment services, and where such activities are significant with respect to the market of the host Member State. EIOPA, which already has the power to set up collaboration platforms under Article 152b of Directive 2009/138/EC, should have the same power with regard to insurance distribution activities under Directive (EU) 2016/97 since similar cross border supervision issues may occur in insurance distribution. Where personal data is to be processed under the collaboration platforms, competent authorities, ESMA and EIOPA must comply with Regulation (EU) 2016/679. Where there are serious concerns about potential investor detriment and where the supervisory authorities involved in the collaboration platforms cannot reach an agreement on issues related to an investment firm or insurance distributor which is operating on a cross- border basis, ESMA and EIOPA may in accordance with Article 16 of Regulation (EU) No 1095/2010 of the European Parliament and of the Council39 and Regulation (EU) No 1094/2010 of the European Parliament and of the Council40 , respectively, issue a recommendation to the competent authority of the home Member State to consider the concerns of the other relevant competent authorities,

Amendment 176 #
Proposal for a directive Recital 32 (32) The rapid pace at which marketing communications and practices can be provided and changed, in particular through the use of digital tools and channels, should not prevent the adequate enforcement of applicable regulatory requirements. It is therefore necessary that Member States ensure that national competent authorities have the necessary powers to supervise and where necessary intervene in a timely manner. In addition, competent authorities should have access to the necessary information related to marketing communications and practices to perform their supervisory and enforcement duties and ensure consumer protection. For that purpose, investment firms and insurance undertakings should keep records of marketing communications provided or made accessible to retail clients or potential retail client and any related elements relevant for competent authorities. For extensive consumer protection, the Parliament asks the Commission to consider an EU wide financial consumer protection legislation. To capture marketing communications disseminated by third parties, such as for instance influencers and advertisement agencies, it is necessary that details on such third parties’ identity are also recorded.

Proposal for a directive Recital 36 (36) A wide diversity of financial instruments can be offered to retail investors, with each financial instrument entailing different levels of risks of potential losses. Retail investors should therefore be able to easily identify investment products that are particularly risky. It is therefore appropriate to require that investment firms, insurance undertakings and insurance intermediaries identify those investment products that are particularly risky and include, in information transmitted to retail clients and customers, including marketing communications, warnings on those risks. To assist investment firms, insurance undertakings and insurance intermediaries in identifying such particularly risky products, ESMA and EIOPA should issue

Proposal for a directive Recital 37 a (new) (37a) Financial literacy is of key importance in addressing the current deficiencies in the Capital Markets Union. Trust in Union financial markets is linked intrinsically to the level of retail participation in them. Education and knowledge are tools to empower each citizen to make informed investment decisions. This Directive should lay the ground for increasing the level of financial education in each Member State. In view of the limited competences conferred upon the Union in that area, it is the responsibility of each Member State to ensure that proper adjustments are made, particularly in their education systems, to comply with this Directive. Member States should take ambitious steps to fulfil the obligations laid down in this Directive.

Proposal for a directive Recital 38 a (new) (38a) The European Parliament asks the Commission to provide a financial framework legislation. All actors, be they existing or new-comers in the market, if they provide services, that can be interpreted as financial services, e.g. quickie loans, peer-to-peer investing or transforming derivatives, should be covered automatically by overall liabilities by banking, lending, saving, investing etc. So as not to leave regulatory gaps among financial actors. There is a deficit on the markets regarding equal regulation, and a clear framework for the proactive product regulation is therefore needed.
