In this context, the EBF has consistently expressed concerns about the possibility of unforeseen disruptions arising from extensive measures, such as a complete prohibition on commissions, and emphasized the potential adverse effects on vital aspects such as the accessibility of comprehensive and high-quality advisory services.
