AIFMD: ESMA publishes guidelines compliance tables on key concepts and reporting obligations

ESMA has published two guidelines compliance tables showing which competent authorities comply or intend to comply with its guidelines on reporting obligations and key concepts of the Alternative Investment Fund Managers Directive (AIFMD).

With the exception of Norway, whose financial regulator has indicated that it will not confirm compliance with either set of guidelines until the AIFMD has been incorporated into the EEA Agreement, almost every other EU and EEA EFTA state has confirmed compliance with both sets of guidelines. Poland has indicated it intends to comply with ESMA's guidelines on reporting obligations under Articles 3(3)(d) and 24(1), (2) and (4) of the AIFMD after the Directive has been transposed into its national law.
