On February 17, 2016, the Joint Associations Committee on Retail Structured Products (JAC) sent two letters above to the European Authorities. The first letter sought to highlight the four very significant issues relating to the scope of the PRIIPs regulation which remained unclear: scope, territoriality, secondary trading issues and grandfathering and gold plating. The second letter sets out the detailed aspects of the regulation and RTS which the JAC felt required clarification prior to implementation.
