Austria enacted the European Green Bond Regulation Enforcement Act to transpose Regulation (EU) 2023/2631 and designate the Financial Market Authority (FMA) as the competent supervisory authority. The legislation empowers the FMA to enforce compliance through extensive investigative powers, including on-site inspections and the suspension of bond listings, while mandating specific disclosure obligations via the European Single Access Point. Administrative penalties for breaches include fines of up to EUR 500,000 or 0.5% of annual turnover for legal entities, alongside public sanctions and prohibitions on issuing European Green Bonds.
