non-equity securities can choose which member state they want to approve their prospectus; and the definition of qualified investors' in the Prospectus Directive will be aligned with the Markets in Financial Instruments Directive (2004/39/EC).

non-equity securities (such as bonds), which may be admitted to trading in different ways, based on prospectuses using various formats.
Disclosure obligations should include schedules regarding equity securities, retail and wholesale debt (in this latter case only the issuer's disclosure requirements), asset-backed securities, registration document for
non-equity securities issued by credit institutions, schedule for depository receipts issued over shares.
