Finance (Tax Appeals) (Amendment) Bill 2019: Discussion
Mr. Oliver Gilvarry:
No. Throughout the negotiations on the prospectus regulation up to 2017, we had called for the increase because the €5 million was set when the negotiations started in 2003 and the directive was agreed in 2005. This reflected the changing market. Following the crisis, banks pulled back from the market and the capital markets union, CMU, project attempted to deepen Europe's capital markets by giving different options for companies. A large number of other member states have increased the threshold to €8 million.
