The amendments to Delegated Regulation EU 2022/1288 are limited adjustments of the existing regulatory framework and are necessary to align the disclosure framework to Delegated Regulation EU 2022/1214, which is to apply from 1 January 2023. Given the limited scope of the amendments and the need to ensure legal certainty and coherence with the application of Delegated Regulations EU 2022/1214 and EU 2022/1288, it would have been disproportionate for the European Supervisory Authorities to conduct open public consultations or analyses of the potential related costs and benefits,
