    "supporting_data": "The ETF primarily uses physical replication of the MSCI EMU Index, which is a straightforward equity index. While it employs FX forward contracts for currency hedging, this is a common practice in hedged ETFs and does not significantly increase complexity. The derivatives used are for efficient portfolio management rather than for leverage or complex strategies. The fund's risk profile is clearly communicated, and the underlying assets (equities) are transparent and liquid. The use of derivatives is limited to hedging currency risk, which is a standard practice in such funds and does not make the fund's risk profile materially different from its underlying assets. The fund is UCITS-compliant, which typically indicates a higher level of transparency and investor protection. The risk indicator is moderate (level 6), but this is consistent with equity investments and does not suggest excessive complexity. The fund does not employ leverage, inverse strategies, or other complex features that would typically trigger a 'complex' classification under MiFID II. The counterparty risk from derivative instruments is disclosed but is not a primary driver of complexity, as the derivatives are used for hedging and not for speculative purposes. The fund's overall structure and risk profile are easily understandable by retail investors, and there is adequate public information available. The use of derivatives is for efficient portfolio management and does not involve sophisticated strategies that would require specialist knowledge to understand. The fund's classification as non-complex is supported by the fact that it is a mainstream ETF with a transparent, liquid underlying asset base and a clear, linear relationship to the performance of the MSCI EMU Index."
