Translation requirements in relation to the remuneration disclosure - UCITS KIID
Question
Article 78(4), second sub-paragraph of the UCITS Directive requires the KIID to include a statement to the effect that the details of the up-to-date remuneration policy are available by means of a website and that a paper copy will be made available free of charge upon request. Does this mean that, in case of cross-border distribution of a UCITS, the information on the remuneration policy which has to be made available on a website (and the paper copy of it to be made available on request) needs to be translated into the same language as the one into which the KIID has to be translated?
