• Directive 2009/138/EC;
• Directive 2011/61/EU;
• Directive 2013/34/EU;
• Directive 2013/36/EU;

• Directive (EU) 2016/2341;
• Directive (EU) 2019/2034;
• Directive (EU) 2019/2162.

The draft was adopted by the European Commission on 25 November 2021 as part of a package of initiatives related to Capital Markets Union (CMU). The Council of the European Union adopted its general approach on the proposal on 29 June 2022. The plenary of the European Parliament endorsed a negotiating position for the proposal on 15 February 2023. An informal agreement between the co-legislators on a compromise text for this file was reached on 23 May. This was formally endorsed by Parliament on 9 November and by the Council on 27 November.
