On 1 July 2019, the CSSF published Circular 19/721 which informs supervised entities, including but not limited to Part II UCIs1, SIFs2, SICARs3, Luxembourg management companies and AIFMs, of the establishment of an electronic desk portal ("eDesk Portal").
This eDesk Portal will have to be used for all the requests listed and published on the homepage of the eDesk Portal.
As of today, only the PRIIPs4 assessment request referred to in the Article " New CSSF PRIIPs assessment", is listed on the eDesk Portal.
In this respect, Circular 19/721 expressly provides that all entities must check themselves on a regular basis the homepage of the eDesk Portal in order to be informed of any update of the list of requests. In addition, all entities must ensure that all requests that are applicable to them are completed appropriately and in due time via the eDesk Portal.
