Amendments to the EU rules governing collective investment funds, notably in the areas of Money Market Funds, long-term investment funds and certain aspects of the UCITS Directive (Undertakings in Collective Investments in Transferable Securities 2009/65/EC) such as eligible assets and use of derivatives, efficient portfolio management (EPM) techniques, OTC derivatives and depositaries

MARKT octobre 2013

Traité sur le fonctionnement de l'Union européenne: Article 114 for a regulation and article 53(1) for a directive procédure législative ordinaire (COD) X

The UCITS rules have constituted Europe's regulatory framework for asset managers and investors since 1985. To keep the UCITS framework topical and in line with the evolution of investment markets, some reforms are envisaged. Recent international work on shadow banking has identified certain areas that require closer scrutiny: money market funds and the use of securities lending or repurchase arrangements (repos). The short-termism of the financial markets is often not in line with the financing needs of the "real economy". Fostering a culture of long-term investment in Europe is therefore an important challenge. The intention is to address a number of concerns relating to the efficiency, competitiveness and integration of the market for UCITS funds in order to preserve the UCITS attractiveness for both professional and retail investors.

The main objective of the review is to improve the functioning of the Internal Market for the safety components and the subsystems of cableway installations, ensuring at the same time the higher level of safety. Another important objective is simplification, as the whole revision process will aim at clarifying some major concepts and definitions contained in the text of Cableways Directive 2000/9/EC, facilitating therefore its practical application. These objectives will be pursued by two means: (1) by introducing in the legislative text all amendments whose need has become apparent during the f1st years of application of the Directive, and (2) by aligning the Directive to the New Legislative Framework (NLF) for New Approach Legislation, in particular, to Decision No 768/2008/EC on a common framework for marketing of products.

There are currently two programmes under the CAP specifically targeting children in schools, namely the European School Milk Scheme providing dairy products and the more recent School Fruit Scheme (SFS) providing fruit and vegetable products to school children. Recent studies that have become available since the Commission's reform CAP 2020 proposals were adopted, in particular the SFS evaluation and the special report of the European Court of Auditors, have identified the need to make further improvements to the school schemes to increase their efficiency and effectiveness. In order to ensure a long-term demand and market outlet for the EU farmers and reconnect consumers to agriculture, in particular children as future household managers, a broader and more unified policy response targeting children in schools might be required.
