The EMA co-signed an industry letter to the European Commission addressing challenges in implementing the Council Directive (EU) 2020/284 of 18 February 2020, amending Directive 2006/112/EC as regards introducing certain requirements for payment service providers (CESOP Directive) and the associated mitigation measures.
The letter emphasises the need for streamlined registration processes, harmonised requirements across Member States, and a one-stop-shop reporting system. It also advocates for a moratorium on penalties during the initial compliance period, ensuring smoother adoption of CESOP reporting requirements.
