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.
