Operative part of the judgment
|
1) |
Article 72 of Directive 2009/65/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 13 July 2009 on the coordination of laws, regulations and administrative provisions relating to undertakings for collective investment in transferable securities, as amended by Directive 2014/91/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 23 July 2014 must be interpreted as meaning that: the information concerning a management company — provided for in Schedule A of Annex I to that directive — which the prospectus must at the very least contain under Article 69(2) of the directive comes within the concept of ‘essential elements of the prospectus’ as provided for in Article 72 and, consequently, that information must be kept up to date. |
|
2) |
Article 99a(r) of Directive 2009/65, as amended by Directive 2014/91 must be interpreted as: not precluding national legislation under which a management company that did not fulfil the obligation to keep up to date the prospectus of several undertakings for collective investment in transferable securities, as provided for in Articles 68 to 82 of that Directive, within the period set by that national legislation may be subject to an administrative penalty with regard to each of those undertakings, even though the change that should have been made to those prospectuses concerns a single element — the composition of a body of the management company — provided that the administrative penalty, while being effective and dissuasive, is proportionate. |
