NRF Outsourcing Toolkit
Over recent years, financial institutions have increasingly looked to third party outsourced service providers to help support their business – these arrangements reduce costs and improve efficiency. However, with increasing amounts of outsourcing comes greater risk, and regulators across the world are now scrutinising outsourcing arrangements more than ever before. In particular, the EBA Guidelines on Outsourcing have established a prescriptive set of expectations that outsourcing contracts need to meet. This is relevant to both EU and UK firms, and firms should be working to ensure that existing contractual arrangements are updated to align with these Guidelines.
We understand that undertaking this type of contractual remediation exercise can be both complex and time consuming. To help you save time and resource, we have developed the NRF Outsourcing Toolkit, which provides access to a number of key documents that will help you to carry out this exercise. We can also support your remediation work more generally, and have a range of options that we can deploy - from helping on an ad hoc basis to fully managing and running the remediation exercise overall.
Further information on the NRF Outsourcing Toolkit can be found in the brochure. If you would like to discuss further, please get in touch with Hannah McAslan (hannah.mcaslan@nortonrosefulbright.com) or another a member of the team.

The Energy Performance of Buildings Directive: building a sustainable future
The Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (the Recast EPBD) entered into force on 28 May 2024. The Recast EPBD repeals the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive 2010 (the Repealed EPBD). The Repealed EPBD will remain as transposed in the laws of England and Wales, and the Recast EPDB will only be transposed into the national legislation of EU Member States. The overarching aims of the revisions set out in the Recast EPBD reflect the common themes of European climate legislation to speed up the transition to renewables and rapidly reduce energy consumption. We set out below a summary of the key provisions under the Recast EPBD, when the provisions take effect and a comparison with the Repealed EPBD.

The EU Gas and Hydrogen package
On 21 May 2024, the European Council (or Council) adopted the so-called ‘Hydrogen and decarbonised gas market package’ (the Gas Package). The package contains a recast of the 715/2009 gas regulation (Gas Regulation) and a recast of the 2009/73 gas directive (Gas Directive) aimed at reforming the existing EU regulatory framework to support the deployment of renewable and low-carbon gases, in particular hydrogen. As such, it represents a major development in the EU gas market.
