EFAMA shares the urgent need to improve the consistency and comparability of sustainability reporting at a global level. Therefore, we welcome the opportunity to respond to the ISSB consultation on the Exposure Drafts on “General Requirements for Disclosure of Sustainability Related Financial Information” (IFRS S1) and on “Climate-Related Disclosures” (IFRS S2).
EFAMA has stressed that global alignment of sustainability reporting standards will be necessary to ensure clarity for investors as Europe moves towards a zero emissions economy by 2050.
EFAMA strongly supports the initiative carried out by EFRAG with the publication of the Exposure Drafts on the European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS). The Exposure Drafts provide key elements framing the architecture of reporting requirements and clarifying the content and key concepts of CSRD. The resulting data will be of crucial importance for investors and for achieving the EU objective to transition towards a zero emissions economy by 2050.
EFAMA supports the Commission’s efforts to encourage more companies to finance their investment through equity contributions rather than debt financing.
The Commission decided to follow a policy option that will enable the deductibility of an allowance on equity financing costs complemented by a rule to limit the deductibility of interest on debt financing instruments.

EFAMA strongly supports the objective to provide retail investors with a key information document (KID) for all packaged retail and insurance-based investment products (PRIIPs). It is important that investors and their advisers throughout Europe are given meaningful, comprehensible and comparable information to feel confident about investing and to make sound investment decisions.
This memo covers investments in collective investment vehicles (CIV) in contractual, trust, or corporate form (simply referred as funds) from corporate and institutional investors acting on their own account (e.g. banks, life insurers, industry companies, etc.) and the accounting treatment of such investments under the upcoming IRFS 9 rules. While IFRS 9 contains many positive evolutions, many of our members have been warned by their client investors that IFRS 9 would change their attitude towards investing in funds.
EFAMA is grateful for the opportunity to contribute to the drafting of the Regulation through a consultation and we appreciate the effort of the regulator to adopt an approach to reporting consistent with EMIR and to develop, where more efficient, a different reporting logic.
