How it comes up, in Chapter 4
First, the EU’s PRIIPs Regulation requires a key information document for each ETF and each leveraged note, before the client buys. It is a short paper in a fixed form, setting out the product’s features, risks and costs. Under clause 5.4, the app shows it in the language of the client’s country: Greek in Cyprus and Greece, German in Germany. Cyprus also accepts English, so a client there who chose English gets it in English.
