Recital 13

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

(13) The concept of admission of securities to official listing on stock exchanges provided for in Directive 2001/34/EC is no longer the prevailing one, given market developments, as Directive 2014/65/EU already provides for the concept of ‘admission of financial instruments to trading on a regulated market’. While the concepts ‘admission to official listing’ and ‘admission to trading on a regulated market’ are used interchangeably in some Member States, in other Member States the concept of ‘admission to official listing’ continues to play an important role alongside the concept of ‘admission to trading on a regulated market’, in particular by providing an alternative to issuers of securities, notably debt securities, who seek increased visibility but for whom admission to trading is not a relevant or viable option. The repeal of Directive 2001/34/EC should be without prejudice to the validity and continuation of the regimes of admission to official listing on stock exchanges in those Member States who would like to continue to apply that regime. In any case, Member States should retain the ability to provide for and regulate such regimes under national legislation (14).
