Recital 10

Directive (EU) 2024/2811 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 23 October 2024 amending Directive 2014/65/EU to make public capital markets in the Union more attractive for companies and to facilitate access to capital for small and medium-sized enterprises and repealing Directive 2001/34/EC (Text with EEA relevance) · European Union

(10) Directive 2001/34/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (10) lays down rules concerning listing on Union markets. That Directive aims to coordinate the rules on the admission of securities to official stock exchange listing and on the information to be published on those securities to provide equivalent protection for investors at Union level. That Directive also lays down the rules of the regulatory and supervisory framework for Union primary markets. Directive 2001/34/EC has been amended significantly several times. Directives 2003/71/EC (11) and 2004/109/EC (12) of the European Parliament and of the Council have replaced most of the provisions harmonising the conditions for the provision of information regarding requests for the admission of securities to official stock exchange listing and the information on securities admitted to trading, and have made large parts of Directive 2001/34/EC redundant. In light of those changes, and the fact that Directive 2001/34/EC as a minimum harmonisation directive gives Member States a rather broad discretion to deviate from the rules laid down therein, Directive 2001/34/EC should be repealed to achieve a single rulebook at Union level.
