The Prospectus Regulation (EU 2017/1129) ("PR") was published in the Official Journal of the European Union on 30th June 2017, and will replace the existing regime for the approval of Prospectuses under Directive (2003/71/EC) (as amended).

The main objectives of the PR, a key part of the EU Capital Markets Union framework, are to increase access to capital markets, facilitate pan-European offers of debt and equity securities and facilitate access to listings on European markets. The PR also aims to simplify requirements for smaller offerings and SMEs.

The PR is a full overhaul of the Prospectus Directive regime, which initially came into force in 2005, and was updated in 2011. It includes some material changes in approach, with a view to unlocking funding for businesses and providing more opportinities for investors in the EU.

AMLD6 And Beneficial Ownership Central Registers: New Access Rules In Ireland

These reforms fundamentally restructure access rights to the Central Register of Beneficial Ownership of Trusts and Corporate Entities, moving away from unrestricted public access toward a tiered system that balances transparency with privacy rights while maintaining accessibility for legitimate anti-money laundering purposes.
