DIRECTIVE (EU) 2021/338 OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL of 16 February 2021 amending Directive 2014/65/EU as regards information requirements, product governance and position limits, and Directives 2013/36/EU and (EU) 2019/878 as regards their application to investment firms, to help the recovery from the COVID-19 crisis (Text with EEA relevance) · European Union

(3) As regards the requirements that were intended to protect investors, Directive 2014/65/EU has not fully achieved its objective to adopt measures that take the particularities of each category of investors, i.e. retail clients, professional clients and eligible counterparties, sufficiently into account. Some of those requirements have not always enhanced investor protection but at times have rather hindered the smooth execution of investment decisions. Therefore, certain requirements set out in Directive 2014/65/EU should be amended to facilitate the provision of investment services and the performance of investment activities, and those amendments should be made in a balanced way which fully protects investors.
