EU mulls Delaying Financial Regulations to Ease Compliance Costs
Updated May 29, 2025
The European Commission is considering postponing the implementation of as many as 122 legislative measures to alleviate compliance burdens on the EU’s financial industry. This potential shift in financial regulation comes as stakeholders express concerns over the volume of new rules.
According to an internal document, the EC analyzed 430 delegated acts slated for adoption in the coming years. The goal is to identify measures deemed non-essential to core legislation, making them candidates for delay. The commission acknowledges that the sheer number of these measures is a “concern for stakeholders.”
What’s next
The European Commission will continue to evaluate which legislative acts can be delayed without compromising the integrity of the primary legislation. Further announcements are expected as the review progresses, potentially reshaping the near-term landscape of financial regulation and compliance.
