Recital 10

(10) Although the European Financial Stability Facility (EFSF) established by the EFSF Framework Agreement is exempt from the sustainability reporting regime set out in Directive 2004/109/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (7) pursuant to Article 8 thereof, the EFSF is subject to the sustainability reporting requirements set out in Directive 2013/34/EU. Despite it being a large undertaking incorporated in a legal form listed in that Directive, the EFSF has a mandate that is largely similar to that of the European Stability Mechanism (ESM), namely to safeguard financial stability in the Union by providing temporary financial assistance to Member States whose currency is the euro. The ESM, however, is not subject to sustainability reporting requirements. Therefore, in order for the EFSF to benefit from the same treatment as the ESM as regards sustainability reporting and for the purposes of consistency with the exemption regime provided for by Directive 2004/109/EC, the EFSF should be exempt from the sustainability reporting regime provided for by Directive 2013/34/EU.
