Interaction between the UCI Departments and the UCITS, Part II UCIs, SIFs, SICARs and ELTIFs Directors (hereafter “UCI Directors”) – recipients of specific communications
Pursuant to Circular CSSF 19/721 – Dematerialisation of requests to the CSSF and to further improve the transmission of specific communications (such as surveys, data collection exercises, thematic requests, invitations for events and conferences) whilst ensuring the protection of confidential data, the CSSF informs the UCI Directors1 that, as of today, outbound emails from the UCI Departments (Métier OPC) in this context will solely be sent to the email addresses of eDesk users defined as “Board Member” on the eDesk Portal.
For exchanges related to AML/CFT, the “Board Member” may be contacted in addition to the “AML/CFT responsible officer”. Please note that the role of “AML/CFT responsible officer” shall be reserved for the RR (responsable du respect des obligations professionnelles) and RC (responsable du contrôle du respect des obligations professionnelles), and their backups considering the eDesk rights attributed to these functions.
For other exchanges (i.e. directly between the CSSF and person in charge for the UCI file or topics), the CSSF process remains unchanged and the person in charge will continue to be contacted directly.
In this context, the CSSF reminds UCI Directors that they must keep the email addresses of eDesk users on the eDesk Portal up to date at all times.
