Ordinance of 28 January 2026 on the European Single Access Point providing centralized access to published information relevant to financial services, capital markets and sustainability
AI-generated summary for informational purposes only. Not legal advice. See the original source for the authoritative text.
This ordinance transposes into French law the provisions required to implement the European Single Access Point (ESAP), established by EU Regulation 2023/2859. ESAP is a centralized digital platform designed to aggregate and provide public access to financial, capital markets, and sustainability-related information disclosed by companies and financial entities across the European Union. By integrating the ESAP framework into French domestic law, French financial market participants, listed companies, and entities subject to sustainability reporting obligations will be required to submit their disclosures through channels compatible with the ESAP system. This ensures that information published under various EU transparency and reporting directives becomes machine-readable and centrally searchable at the European level. The ordinance aligns France with EU-wide efforts to reduce information fragmentation across member states, making it easier for investors, analysts, regulators, and the public to access comparable, structured data on financial performance and ESG (environmental, social, governance) metrics from a single online entry point.
