The European Financial Reporting Advisory Group (EFRAG) has recommended to the European Commission to postpone the endorsement process on the amendments to IFRS 10 and IAS 28 regarding the sale or contribution of assets between an investor and its associate or joint venture until the IASB has addressed an identified conflict with IAS 28.

On 11 September 2014, the IASB issued Sale or Contribution of Assets between an Investor and its Associate or Joint Venture (Amendments to IFRS 10 and IAS 28). Subsequently, EFRAG identified a conflict of the amendments with IAS 28 Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures and notified the IASB of the conflict. The IASB has acknowledged the conflict and discussed the issue at its January 2015 meeting. The Board members tentatively decided to:

  • clarify the requirements of IFRS 10 and IAS 28 to address the conflict;
  • to do so in the forthcoming ED on another amendment to IAS 28 regarding the elimination of gains or losses arising from transactions between an entity and its associate or joint venture; and
  • to propose a postponement of the effective date of the September 2014 amendments so that the effective date of the clarification to be included with the forthcoming ED and the September 2014 amendments are the same.

In light of these developments, EFRAG has recommended to the European Commission to postpone the endorsement process relating to the amendments to IFRS 10 and IAS 28 until the project on Elimination of gains or losses arising from transactions between an entity and its associate or joint venture is completed.
