The European Securities and Markets Authority has launched a consultation on draft Regulatory Technical Standards under the new EU Prospectus Regulation which entered into force on July 20, 2017. ESMA seeks feedback on the draft RTS in relation to: key financial information for the prospectus summary; data for the classification of the prospectus and how to ensure that such data is machine readable; advertisements; supplements; and publication of the prospectus.

ESMA invites responses to the consultation by March 9, 2018. ESMA will then finalize the draft RTS for submission to the European Commission by July 21, 2018.
