94/8/EC on revision of thresholds for small and medium sized company status in company law
|
The directive is completely optional. Implementation was examined in 1996. At the time it was decided not to implement the directive due to the preparation of a Draft Financial Reporting Standard for smaller entities, FRSSE, by the consultative committee of accounting bodies, which was designed to relieve small companies of some of the burdens. This standard was adopted at the end of 1997. The EU is likely to review the threshold limits in advance of the introduction of the Euro and it can be further examined at that stage.

95/26/EC of 29 June 1995 amending Directives 77/780/EEC and 89/646/EEC in the field of credit institutions, Dire ctives73/239 and 92/49/EEC in the field of non-life insurance, Directives 79/267/EEC and 92/96/EEC in the field of life assurance, Directive 93/22/EEC in the field of investment firms and Directive 85/611/EEC in the field of undertakings for collective investment in transferable securities, UCITS, with a view to reinforcing prudential supervision.
|
Directive 95/26/EC was due to be implemented by 18 July 1996. Amendments in the fields of assurance and non-life insurance dealt with in the “BCCI” directive have been implemented by this Department, and I understand amendments involving the fields of credit institutions and investment have been implemented by the Department of Finance. In so far as UCITs is concerned, work is advanced on amending the UCITS Regulations, SI No. 78 of 1989, which implemented Directive 85/611/EEC. This amendment will cover the relevant provisions of Directive 95/26/EC. It is hoped that the work will be completed by summer 1998.
