On 22 April 2026, the Commission de Surveillance du Secteur Financier (CSSF) announced that the eDesk module for cross-border management notifications and de-notifications with a European passport is now available for Luxembourg-domiciled investment fund managers (IFMs). The eDesk Portal facilitates notifications and de-notifications for two categories of supervised entities: UCITS management companies pursuing activities in other Member States either via branch establishment or freedom to provide services (FPS), including management of UCITS established in another Member State under Articles 114 and 115 of the Law of 17 December 2010; and authorised alternative investment fund managers (AIFMs) managing EU alternative investment funds (AIFs) in other Member States or providing cross-border services under Article 5 of the Law of 12 July 2013. As of 22 April 2026, these entities must transmit notification and de-notification files to the CSSF either directly via the eDesk Portal or through the CSSF API solution using S3 technology. The portal can be accessed at https://edesk.apps.cssf.lu/edesk-dashboard/dashboard/getstarted, with the relevant procedure being the "IFM Cross-border Management Notifications Tool". Subsequent monitoring of notifications will be conducted exclusively via the eDesk Portal. The CSSF has published detailed guidance in the "IFM Guidelines on cross-border management notification and de-notification procedures" to support implementation. Supervised entities requiring assistance should contact the CSSF helpdesk at edesk@cssf.lu. The CSSF reminds all concerned entities that they must notify it of all cross-border activities and services they intend to provide, regardless of whether these will be delivered under FPS or via branch establishment.
