It is broadly equivalent to the SEC’s EDGAR system in the USA or the FSA’s GABRIEL platform in the UK.
This flexibility and the modular architecture make transmission independent from the types of data and documents.
E-file transmissions take place in a secure environment complying with the European and domestic regulatory requirements[1] through data encryption, 1024/2048 bits SSL certificates and HTTPS connection.
E-file is also used for electronic bank reporting required under Basel II, IRFS and MiFID as well as for other legal and statistical reporting to the Luxembourg Central Bank (BCL) and the CSSF.
In September 2008 the Luxembourg’s financial regulatory authority CSSF issued a circular 08/371[2] resulting in the official adoption of the e-file platform for the mandatory transmission of UCI simplified and full prospectuses and annual and semi-annual reports both to the CSSF and to the electronic reference database of the financial centre’s investment funds set up by Fundsquare.
