Artikel 4 Språk

Summary What does Article 4 of the RTS on issuer complaints handling say?

Article 4 sets out the language requirements that issuers of asset-referenced tokens and, where applicable, third-party entities must meet when publishing complaints-handling information and accepting complaints.

It builds on the broader complaints-handling framework established in earlier articles by ensuring that the procedures and templates described there are genuinely accessible to holders across different Member States.

The core principle is that language should not be a barrier to filing a complaint, whether that means using the languages in which services are marketed or the official languages of the relevant home and host Member States.

Important points:

Publish the complaints-handling procedure and filing template in all languages used to market your services or communicate with token holders.
Ensure complainants can file complaints in those same languages, as well as in the official languages of both the home and host Member States, provided those are official languages of the Union.
This obligation applies to both issuers of asset-referenced tokens and third-party entities involved in distribution.
