(21)As a consequence of the entry into force of Directive 2004/109/EC, the obligation in Directive 2003/71/EC for the issuer to provide annually a document containing or referring to all information published in the 12 months preceding the issuance of the prospectus has become a dual obligation and should therefore be abolished. As a consequence, a registration document, instead of being updated in accordance with Article 10 of Directive 2003/71/EC, should be updated by means of a supplement or securities note.
