EuGB Article 15(5) notifications - ESMA publishes submission questionnaire

ESMA has created an issuer disclosure section on its website, which sets out the details for how EuGB issuers can meet their notification requirements to ESMA under Article 15(5) of the EU Green Bond Regulation. By way of reminder, EuGB issuers are required to notify ESMA within 30 days of publication of all documentation listed in Article 15(1) of the EU Green Bond Regulation (including the factsheet, pre-issuance external review, and link to the website where the prospectus can be consulted (unless issuer is exempt under the EU Prospectus Regulation (“EU PR”)).

To comply with such notification requirements, issuers are directed to complete a questionnaire (which may relate to multiple documents). Issuers will be able to download a copy of their notification once completed and will also obtain a unique notification ID, which is necessary to amend the submission.  Any queries relating to Article 15 notifications to ESMA should be directed to: EUGB.article15@esma.europa.eu
