CFA Society Poland Releases Report on Gold-Plating in eight EU Member States

CFA Society Poland is pleased to announce the publication of a comprehensive report on the phenomenon of gold-plating, which involves imposing additional obligations during the transposition of EU regulations into national laws of EU member states. The report focuses on the impact of gold-plating in capital market law and covers eight selected countries: the Netherlands, Italy, Spain, Malta, Luxembourg, Germany, Ireland, and Finland.

Gold-plating is an obstacle to harmonizing the EU's internal market, and the extent of gold-plating varies between national jurisdictions. Gold-plating seems less visible in the Netherlands, Luxembourg, Ireland, Finland, or Malta than in Italy or Germany, where over-regulation is quite pronounced.

Scope of the Report about Gold-Plating in EU Capital Market Law: Regulatory Practices in Selected Jurisdictions

The report examines:

• the legal landscape and approaches to gold-plating in the selected countries,
• countermeasures and proposed actions to prevent gold-plating,
• specific examples of gold-plating and their implications for the market.

This publication marks a significant step in CFA Society Poland’s efforts to contribute to developing an efficient and integrated capital market within the EU.
