The European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) has been mandated by the Transparency Directive 2013/50/EU of the European Commission to ensure that all financial reports be prepared in a single electronic reportingformat from 1 January 2020.

ESMA has developed draft Regulatory Technical Standards (RTS) to specify the electronic format known as European Single Electronic Format (ESEF).
ESEF makes use of XBRL and the Inline XBRL format to enable the presentation of the machine- and human-readable annual financial reports. ESMA has proposed the use of XBRL under the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS).
