(a)identifies the activities which it seeks to carry on through the branch; and

(b)includes such other information as may be specified.

(3)[F126Subject to sub-paragraph (5B), the] activities identified in a notice of intention may include activities which are not regulated activities.

[F127(4)The second is that—

(b) where the firm is a management company which wishes to pursue the activity of collective portfolio management referred to in Annex II to the UCITS directive, the [F125appropriate UK regulator] has provided to the host state regulator—

(i) confirmation that the firm has been authorised as a management company pursuant to the provisions of the UCITS directive;

(ii)a description of the scope of the management company's authorisation; and

(iii) details of any restriction on the types of UCITS that the management company is authorised to manage.]

[F128(5)The third is—

(a) if the EEA right in question derives from the insurance mediation directive, that one month has elapsed beginning with the date on which the firm received notice, in accordance with sub-paragraph (11), that the [F125appropriate UK regulator] has given a consent notice;

(b)in any other case, that either—

(i) the host state regulator has notified the firm (or, where the EEA right in question derives from any of the insurance directives, the [F125appropriate UK regulator]) of the applicable provisions; or

(ii)two months have elapsed beginning with the date on which the [F125appropriate UK regulator] gave the consent notice.]

(c)immediately notify the firm that it has given the consent notice to the host state regulator.

(7BC)If the firm’s EEA right derives from the alternative investment fund managers directive, the third condition does not apply.]

[F142(7C)Where the PRA is the appropriate UK regulator, it must consult the FCA before deciding whether to give a consent notice, except where sub-paragraph (7A) applies.

(7D)Where the FCA is the appropriate UK regulator, it must consult the PRA before deciding whether to give a consent notice in relation to a UK firm whose immediate group includes a PRA-authorised person.]

(8)If the [F125appropriate UK regulator] proposes to refuse to give a consent notice it must give the firm concerned a warning notice.

(9)If the firm’s EEA right derives from any of the insurance directives and the host state regulator has notified it of the applicable provisions, the [F125appropriate UK regulator] must inform the firm of those provisions.

(10)Rules may specify the procedure to be followed by the [F125appropriate UK regulator] in exercising its functions under this paragraph.

Mae deddfwriaeth ar gael mewn fersiynau gwahanol:

Y Diweddaraf sydd Ar Gael (diwygiedig):Y fersiwn ddiweddaraf sydd ar gael o’r ddeddfwriaeth yn cynnwys newidiadau a wnaed gan ddeddfwriaeth ddilynol ac wedi eu gweithredu gan ein tîm golygyddol. Gellir gweld y newidiadau nad ydym wedi eu gweithredu i’r testun eto yn yr ardal ‘Newidiadau i Ddeddfwriaeth’.

Gwreiddiol (Fel y’i Deddfwyd neu y’i Gwnaed): Mae'r wreiddiol fersiwn y ddeddfwriaeth fel ag yr oedd pan gafodd ei deddfu neu eu gwneud. Ni wnaed unrhyw newidiadau i’r testun.

Pwynt Penodol mewn Amser: This becomes available after navigating to view revised legislation as it stood at a certain point in time via Advanced Features > Show Timeline of Changes or via a point in time advanced search.

Nodiadau Esboniadol

Testun a grëwyd gan yr adran o’r llywodraeth oedd yn gyfrifol am destun y Ddeddf i esbonio beth mae’r Ddeddf yn ceisio ei wneud ac i wneud y Ddeddf yn hygyrch i ddarllenwyr nad oes ganddynt gymhwyster cyfreithiol. Cyflwynwyd Nodiadau Esboniadol ym 1999 ac maent yn cyd-fynd â phob Deddf Gyhoeddus ac eithrio Deddfau Adfeddiannu, Cronfa Gyfunol, Cyllid a Chyfnerthiad.

Llinell Amser Newidiadau

This timeline shows the different points in time where a change occurred. The dates will coincide with the earliest date on which the change (e.g an insertion, a repeal or a substitution) that was applied came into force. The first date in the timeline will usually be the earliest date when the provision came into force. In some cases the first date is 01/02/1991 (or for Northern Ireland legislation 01/01/2006). This date is our basedate. No versions before this date are available. For further information see the Editorial Practice Guide and Glossary under Help.
