The Transparency Directive took effect in the UK from 20 January 2007. RNS have produced a guide which you can download from this website that is intended to help companies and their advisors understand more about the Directive and its impact on them.
Within the guide:
We explain what the Transparency Directive is and the inspiration behind it.
We describe how the Directive will be applied in the UK and we explain the part RNS has played - and will play - in its implementation.
We explain the way in which the Transparency Directive dovetails with other EU Directives, all of which are intended to make European capital markets work more seamlessly and effectively.
