Guidance Notes

In the course of 2020, INSOL Europe plans to publish several guidance notes on Directive 2019/1023 with the aim of assisting EU Member States with: 

• putting the restructuring frameworks mandated by the Directive in place as soon as possible where no similar restructuring frameworks exist, in a manner that will be useful to their credit and other markets strained by the Covid-19 epidemic; or 
• where equivalent restructuring frameworks do already exist, refining and adapting them to the Directive.
