Prospetto opuscolo dell'obbligazione European Union EU000A283867 in EUR 0.1%, scaduta

L'Unione Europea è un'unione politica ed economica di 27 paesi membri situati principalmente in Europa.

L'analisi riguarda l'obbligazione con codice ISIN EU000A283867, emessa dall'Unione Europea, un'entità sovranazionale di primaria importanza nel panorama finanziario globale, la cui elevata solvibilità è supportata dalla solidità economica e fiscale collettiva degli Stati membri che la compongono, e che emette regolarmente titoli per finanziare le proprie politiche e programmi di sviluppo, inclusi strumenti di resilienza e ripresa. Il titolo in oggetto, denominato in Euro (EUR) e con paese di emissione registrato in Belgio, presentava un tasso d'interesse (cedola) fisso annuo dello 0,1%, con pagamenti effettuati una volta all'anno. La sua data di scadenza (maturità) era fissata per il 04 ottobre 2040. È fondamentale sottolineare che questa obbligazione ha regolarmente raggiunto la sua piena maturità a tale data ed è stata rimborsata integralmente, il che significa che il capitale nominale è stato restituito agli obbligazionisti alla pari, ovvero al 100% del suo valore, rendendo il titolo non più negoziabile sul mercato secondario; il prezzo attuale sul mercato del 100% riflette, in questo contesto, il valore di rimborso finale ricevuto dagli investitori al termine della vita finanziaria del titolo.

EUROPEAN ATOMIC ENERGY COMMUNITY (EURATOM)
Debt Issuance Programme

Under the Debt Issuance Programme described in this Offering Circular (the "Programme"), each of the
European Union (the "EU" or an "Issuer") and the European Atomic Energy Community ("Euratom" or an
"Issuer" and, together with the EU, the "Issuers"), subject to compliance with all relevant laws, regulations and
directives, may from time to time issue notes (the "Notes").
An application has been made to the Luxembourg Stock Exchange for the Notes issued under the Programme to
be admitted to trading on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange's regulated market and to be listed on the Official List
of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange. The Luxembourg Stock Exchange (Bourse de Luxembourg) is a regulated
market, within the meaning of the Markets in Financial Instruments Directive (Directive 2014/65/EU as amended,
"MiFID II"). References in this Offering Circular to Notes being "listed" (and all related references) shall mean
that such Notes have been admitted to trading on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange's regulated market and have
been admitted to the Official List of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange.
Each Tranche (as defined in "Issue of Notes" below) of Bearer Notes and Exchangeable Bearer Notes (as
defined in "Overview of the Programme -- Form of Notes" below) having an original maturity of more than one
year may be represented on issue by a temporary global note in bearer form (each a "temporary Global Note")
or a permanent global note in bearer form (each a "permanent Global Note") and each Tranche of Bearer Notes
or Exchangeable Bearer Notes having an original maturity of one year or less will initially be represented by a
Permanent Global Note. If the Global Notes are stated in the applicable Final Terms to be issued in new global
note ("NGN") form, the Global Notes wil be delivered on or prior to the original issue date of the relevant Tranche
to a common safekeeper (the "Common Safekeeper") for Euroclear Bank SA/NV ("Euroclear") and Clearstream
Banking S.A. ("Clearstream, Luxembourg"). Notes in registered form will be represented by registered
certificates (each a "Certificate") as described under "Overview of the Programme Form of Notes" below, one
Certificate being issued in respect of each Noteholder's entire holding of Registered Notes of one Series.
Registered Notes issued in global form wil be represented by registered global certificates ("Global
Certificates"). If a Global Certificate is held under the New Safekeeping Structure (the "NSS") the Global
Certificate will be delivered on or prior to the original issue date of the relevant Tranche to a Common Safekeeper
for Euroclear and Clearstream, Luxembourg.
Global Notes which are not issued in NGN form ("Classic Global Notes" or "CGNs") and Global Certificates
which are not held under the NSS will be deposited on the issue date of the relevant Tranche with a common
depositary on behalf of Euroclear and Clearstream, Luxembourg (the "Common Depositary").
The provisions governing the exchange of interests in Global Notes for other Global Notes and definitive Notes
are described in "Summary of Provisions Relating to the Notes while in Global Form".
Interests in a Temporary Global Note will be exchangeable for interests in a permanent Global Note the date
falling 40 days after the issue date upon certification as to non-U.S. beneficial ownership (unless the applicable
Pricing Supplement indicates that such Global Note is issued in a transaction to which TEFRA C applies, in which
case no certification will be required) or (in the case of Exchangeable Bearer Notes) Certificates at any time after
the issue date. The Notes have not been and will not be registered under the United States Securities Act of
1933, as amended, (the "Securities Act") or with any securities regulatory authority of any state or other
jurisdiction of the United States and are subject to U.S. tax law requirements. Subject to certain exceptions, the
Notes may not be offered, sold or delivered within the United States or to, or for the account or benefit of, U.S.
persons (as defined in the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and regulations thereunder) (see
"Plan of Distribution").
Tranches of Notes issued under the Programme may be rated or unrated. Where a Tranche of Notes is rated,
such rating will not necessarily be the same as the ratings applicable to the Programme. A security rating is not a
recommendation to buy, sell or hold securities and may be subject to suspension, reduction or withdrawal at any
time by the assigning rating agency.
