International Financial Securities Regulatory Commission: Reporting by undertakings with listed securities

The Transparency Directive prescribes for Member States to set out rules for issuers with securities admitted to trading on an EU regulated market so that they disclose certain key information about their operation. With such a transparency, European issuers build sustained investor confidence and contribute to the capital market union.
