For at sikre en effektiv investorbeskyttelse og velfungerende regulerede markeder bør reglerne for oplysningspligten for udstedere, hvis værdipapirer er optaget til handel på et reguleret marked, også gælde for udstedere, der ikke har et vedtægtsmæssigt hjemsted i en medlemsstat og ikke er omfattet af traktatens artikel 48.
So as to ensure the effective protection of investors and the proper operation of regulated markets, the rules relating to information to be published by issuers whose securities are admitted to trading on a regulated market should also apply to issuers which do not have a registered office in a Member State and which do not fall within the scope of Article 48 of the Treaty.
