(c) is of no effect in relation to times more than 2 years after exit day (without prejudice to any continuing effect in relation to earlier times).

(3) A regulator may not give a transitional direction, or a set of two or more transitional directions, to any person or persons unless the regulator is satisfied that the direction, or the directions viewed collectively, will prevent or mitigate disruption that could reasonably be expected to arise—

(a) for the person, or

(b) (as the case may be) for the persons viewed collectively,

from compliance with the unmodified obligation, or with the unmodified obligations viewed collectively, at times in relation to which the direction is, or the directions are, to have effect.

(4) The Financial Conduct Authority may not give a transitional direction, or a set of two or more transitional directions, unless the Authority is satisfied that doing so would not adversely affect the advancement of its key objectives viewed collectively; and here the reference to the Authority’s key objectives is to its objectives set out in section 1B of the Act, read with section 1IA of the Act(401).

(7) For the purposes of this regulation, two or more transitional directions given by a regulator are a “set” if the regulator declares them to be a set.

Variation of transitional directions

201.—(1) A regulator’s power under regulation 198(1) includes power to give a direction varying (or further varying) a transitional direction already given by that regulator, subject to paragraph (2).

(2) The way in which the power to vary is exercised must be such that the resulting—

(a) varied direction, or

(b) where the earlier direction was part of a set of transitional directions, set of directions as varied,

could be given by revoking existing, and giving new, transitional directions.

(3) Where a transitional direction has been given to two or more particular persons, or to persons of a description specified in the direction, the power to vary it may be exercised in relation to all, some or any one of those persons.

(4) Regulation 200(7) (meaning of “set”) applies also for the purposes of paragraph (2).

(bb) a financial counterparty, or a non-financial counterparty, within the meaning of the EMIR regulation.

(3) A regulator, before it gives a transitional direction, must consult the Treasury on a draft of the proposed direction.

(4) Paragraphs (1) and (3) do not apply in the case of a transitional direction if the regulator assesses that the urgency of the situation is such that the direction should be given before the required consultation is begun or completed, but in that event the regulator must (as the case may be)—

(a) begin the consultation required by those paragraphs in the case of the direction as soon as the direction is given, or

(b) complete the consultation.

(5) In paragraph (2)—

“central counterparty”, and “the EMIR regulation”, have the same meaning as in Part 18 of the Act (see section 313(1) of the Act(405));

“central securities depository” has the same meaning as in the Act (see section 417(1) of the Act(406));

(a) must prepare—

(i) an explanation of the purpose of the direction,

(ii) such guidance in connection with the direction as the regulator considers appropriate, and

(iii) a statement to the effect that the regulator is satisfied as required by paragraph (4), or (as the case may be) paragraph (5) or (6), of regulation 200, and

(b) must publish the direction and the matters listed in sub-paragraph (a).

(2) Paragraph (1)(b) does not apply if the regulator is satisfied that it is inappropriate to publish the direction.

(3) Where a transitional direction is given by a regulator and the direction is not published on the regulator’s website, the regulator must take the steps appearing to the regulator to be best calculated to bring the direction, and the matters listed in paragraph (1)(a), to the attention of—

(a) in the case of a direction given to a particular person or particular persons, that person or those persons, or

(b) in the case of a direction given to persons of a description specified in the direction, any persons who are likely to be affected by the direction.

(4) Where a regulator gives a transitional direction, the regulator must without delay provide the Treasury with a copy of the direction.

(5) Section 139A(5) of the Act(409) (consultation) does not apply to guidance under paragraph (1)(a)(ii).

Revocation of transitional directions

204.—(1) A regulator may revoke a transitional direction given by the regulator, either wholly or in relation to one or some of the persons to whom it was given.

(2) Power of a regulator to revoke a transitional direction is exercisable on the regulator’s own initiative.

(2) Functions under this Part are to be treated as not being “relevant functions” for the purposes of section 84 of the Financial Services Act 2012 (arrangements for the investigation of complaints relating to exercise of relevant functions of regulators).

EXPLANATORY NOTE

(This note is not part of the Regulations)

Except for the regulations referred to in the next paragraph, these Regulations are made in exercise of the powers in section 8 of the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 (c.16) in order to address failures of retained EU law to operate effectively and other deficiencies arising from the withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union (and in particular, the deficiencies under paragraphs (a), (d), (e) and (g) of section 8(2)).

The regulations commenced by regulation 1(2) amend the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (“the Act”) (c.8) and secondary legislation made under the Act in exercise of powers under the European Communities Act 1972 (c.68). These amendments ensure that the references to EU instruments in the Act and the secondary legislation are up to date at exit day, in accordance with the United Kingdom’s EU obligations prior to exit day.

Part 2 of the Regulations amends the Act, including section 417 (definitions) and makes transitional provision in relation to some of the amendments. There are terms defined in section 417 that are no longer used in the Act, but which continue to be used undefined in legislation made under it. This is an unusual situation and it is unclear whether section 11 of the Interpretation Act 1978 (c.30) can be relied on, which is the reason for the amendment at the beginning of section 417(1). Part 3 amends the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (Regulated Activities) Order 2001 (S.I. 2001/544) and makes transitional provision in relation to some of the amendments. Part 4 amends the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (Financial Promotion) Order 2005 (S.I. 2005/1529) and makes transitional provision in relation to some of the amendments. Part 5 amends other secondary legislation made under the Act. Part 6 contains minor and consequential amendments.

Part 7 provides for a new power for the regulators (the Financial Conduct Authority, Prudential Regulation Authority and the Bank of England) to make transitional directions to waive or modify obligations imposed on UK-supervised firms by enactments where the nature of the obligation has been altered by the exercise of section 8 of the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018. A regulator can only make a transitional direction where it is satisfied that it will prevent or mitigate disruptions for firms, and where the direction will not adversely affect the regulator’s statutory objectives. All transitional directions must cease to have effect two years after exit day.

Part 8 makes further provision for the Financial Conduct Authority, Prudential Regulation Authority and Bank of England to charge fees in connection with the discharge of their functions under or as a result of:

• regulations made under section 8 of the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018;

• retained direct EU legislation;

• technical standards made in accordance with Chapter 2A of Part 9A of the Act;

• subordinate legislation made by virtue of regulations made under section 8 of the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018.

These Regulations refer to sourcebooks made by the Financial Conduct Authority under the Act. Sourcebooks made by the Financial Conduct Authority are available on https://www.handbook.fca.org.uk/handbook and copies of the rules referred to can be obtained from the Financial Conduct Authority, 12 Endeavour Square, London E20 1JN, where it is also available for inspection.

An impact assessment of the effect that this instrument, and other instruments made by HM Treasury under the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 at or about the same time, will have on the costs of business, the voluntary sector and the public sector will be available from HM Treasury, 1 Horse Guards Road, London SW1A 2HQ and will be published alongside this instrument at www.legislation.gov.uk.
