(ii)the PRA F8... has decided on its own initiative to carry out that assessment.

[F9(2) The PRA must assess whether a relevant institution is subject to supervision on a consolidated basis by a supervisory authority of a country outside the United Kingdom which is equivalent to the standard of supervision on a consolidated basis applied by the PRA in accordance with Directive 2013/36/EU UK law, the capital requirements regulation and CRR rules.]
