On 8 March 2023, the Policy Rule was amended following changes in European and national laws and regulations and the entry into force of European guidelines. This amendment is an update and does not change the existing assessment policy of DNB and the AFM, nor the scope or target group of this assessment policy other than as a result of the legislation.
Market participants had an opportunity to respond to the intended changes between 15 July and 15 September 2022. The feedback statement below sets out the key points from the responses received as well as comments from DNB and the AFM on these responses. The amended Policy Rule was published in the Government Gazette on 31 March 2023 and entered into force on April 1st.
