AFME published its views on the upcoming Review of the Shareholder Rights Directive (SRD).
To support deeper, more efficient and integrated European capital markets, we strongly believe that an ambitious review of the SRD framework is necessary.
A more harmonised and efficient framework can help advance the Savings and Investments Union by reducing the legal and operational barriers to cross-border investment and enabling more effective engagement between issuers and investors.
AFME recommends:
Greater legal harmonisation across EU Member States
More streamlined information flows
Simpler shareholder participation processes
