On 17 March 2015, the European Financial Reporting Advisory Group (EFRAG) submitted an endorsement advice letter to the European Commission (EC) that recommended IFRS 15 be adopted “with the effective date set by the IASB”. This phrase means that if the IASB should at a future point of time decide to delay the effective date, it will also be delayed in Europe. With the IASB’s decision at its 22 July 2015 meeting to defer the effective date of IFRS 15 by one year; the EFRAG has notified the EC that it recommends the 1 January 2018 effective date, as set by the IASB, for application in Europe.
