EC Pauses Level 2 Regulatory Acts Until Oct 2027

The pause aims to simplify the EU’s financial regulatory framework and reduce administrative burdens. 

Key developments include: 

➡️ The Commission highlighted that too many Level 2 acts create unnecessary complexity and strain resources; 

➡️ The Commission, with co-legislator agreement, informed the European Supervisory Authorities (ESAs) and the Anti-Money Laundering Authority (AMLA) that non-essential Level 2 acts will be paused until October 2027; 

➡️ The Commission will amend or repeal Level 2 provisions with legal deadlines during upcoming Level 1 revisions; and 

➡️ The decision aligns with the Savings and Investments Union (SIU) and simplification agenda to enhance efficiency and accelerate reforms. 

✅ As the European regulatory landscape continues to evolve, firms should review their obligations registers, to ensure they maintain a real-time view of their regulatory requirements.
