On February 4, the European Commission adopted a Delegated Regulation supplementing the European Venture Capital Funds (“EuVECA“) Regulation (345/2013) with regard to conflicts of interest (C(2019) 664 final).

The Delegated Regulation specifies the types of conflicts of interest, referred to in Article 9 of the EuVECA Regulation, and the steps that managers of EuVECA funds need to take to identify, prevent, manage, monitor and disclose conflicts.

The Delegated Regulation will enter into force 20 days after its publication in the Official Journal of the EU. It will apply six months after its entry into force. The next step is for the Delegated Regulation to be considered by the European Parliament and Council of the EU. Delegated Regulation.
