Subject Matter
The interaction between the EU Green Bond Regulation (EuGBR) and the Prospectus Regulation
Original question
Article 14 of the EuGB Regulation requires the publication of a prospectus approved under the Prospectus Regulation before the designation ‘European Green Bond’ or ‘EuGB’ can be used.
Is it possible to publish the EuGB factsheet before the publication of a prospectus approved under the Prospectus Regulation or would this be considered unlawful use of the designation? Moreover, is it possible to publish advertisements before the approval of the prospectus? Please clarify the meaning ‘use of the designation’.
