Recital 8

(8)Pursuant to Article 32(1) of Regulation (EU) No 1286/2014, management companies, investment companies and persons advising on, or selling, units of UCITS are exempt from the obligations under that Regulation until 31 December 2021. When a Member State applies rules on the format and content of the key information document, as laid down in Articles 78 to 81 of Directive 2009/65/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council 6 , to non-UCITS funds offered to retail investors, the exemption laid down in Article 32(1) of Regulation (EU) No 1286/2014 applies to management companies, investment companies and persons advising on, or selling, units of such funds to retail investors. To provide those funds with a consistent transitional legal regime, Article 14(2) of Delegated Regulation 2017/653 which, in accordance with Article 18 of that Delegated Regulation applies until 31 December 2021, allows manufacturers of packaged retail and insurance-based investment products (‘PRIIP manufacturers’) to continue using such documents drawn up in accordance with Articles 78 to 81 of Directive 2009/65/EC, where at least one of the underlying investment options is a UCITS or non-UCITS fund. The Commission proposal for a Regulation of the European Parliament and the Council 7 amending Regulation (EU) No 1286/2014 proposes to extend the transitional arrangements referred to in Article 32 thereof until 30 June 2022. It is necessary to enable PRIIP manufacturers to continue using documents drawn up in accordance with Articles 78 to 81 of Directive 2009/65/EC for as long as those transitional arrangements are in place.
