On February 18, 2014, the European Commission published a consultation paper relating to the review of the Prospectus Directive. The paper sought to identify the needs of prospectus users with regards to scope, form, content, comparability, the approval process, liability and issuers. Feedback was also requested on aspects that unduly hinder access to capital markets, liability and sanctions. The Joint Associations Committee on Retail Structured Products response focuses on the questions that are of particular interest to the structured securities industry.
