Final Report on Technical Standards for the European Green Bonds Regulation

The European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) issued this final report containing revised regulatory and implementing technical standards for external reviewers under the European Green Bonds Regulation. The standards specify criteria for senior management repute, analytical resourcing, sound management, and conflict of interest management, while significantly reducing administrative burdens by removing reporting requirements from the RTS. ESMA has submitted these standards to the European Commission for adoption, following a public consultation that incorporated feedback on proportionality and compliance costs.
