Review of Recent European Union Legal Acts
Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2026/1119
This Regulation defines the specific information requirements for entities seeking authorization or recognition as ESG rating providers. It mandates the submission of detailed documentation regarding internal governance, control mechanisms, conflict-of-interest policies, and the methodology used to produce ESG ratings. The act establishes a standardized application template to ensure that regulatory authorities receive consistent data to assess the integrity, independence, and transparency of ESG rating services across the Union.
Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2026/1405
This act serves as a linguistic correction for Regulation (EU) 2021/821, which governs the export control of dual-use items. It addresses discrepancies and terminology errors found in specific language versions of the original text. By rectifying these linguistic inconsistencies, the Regulation ensures the uniform interpretation and application of export control requirements for dual-use technologies across all Member States.
Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2026/1963
This Regulation establishes the criteria for the evidence importers must provide to verify the “melt and pour” origin of imported steel products. It specifies the types of documentation and certifications required to prove the precise location where the manufacturing process of melting and pouring the raw steel occurred. The act aims to prevent the circumvention of import restrictions and ensure that imported steel adheres to the origin requirements mandated by EU trade policy.
