18AU.K.In this Part of this Schedule “the appropriate UK regulator” means—
(a)where the UK firm is a PRA-authorised person, the PRA;
(b)in any other case, the FCA.]
19(1)[F121Subject to [F122sub-paragraphs (5ZA) [F123, (5ZB)] [F124, (5A) and (7BC)]],] a UK firm may not exercise an EEA right to establish a branch unless three conditions are satisfied.U.K.
(2)The first is that the firm has given the [F125appropriate UK regulator], in the specified way, notice of its intention to establish a branch (“a notice of intention”) which—
(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—
(a)the [F125appropriate UK regulator] has given notice in specified terms (“a consent notice”) to the host state regulator; and
(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.]
[F129(5ZA) This paragraph does not apply to a UK firm having an EEA right which is subject to the conditions of the reinsurance directive.]
[F130(5ZB)This paragraph does not apply to a UK firm having an EEA right which is subject to the conditions of the emission allowance auctioning regulation, in respect of its exercise of that EEA right.]
[F131(5A)If—
(a) the EEA right in question derives from the insurance mediation directive, and
(b) the EEA State in which the firm intends to establish a branch has not notified the Commission, in accordance with Article 6(2) of that directive, of its wish to be informed of the intention of any UK firm to establish a branch in its territory,
the second and third conditions do not apply (and so the firm may establish the branch to which its notice of intention relates as soon as the first condition is satisfied).]
[F132(5B) If the firm is a UK investment firm, a notice of intention may not include ancillary services unless such services are to be provided in connection with the carrying on of one or more investment services and activities.
(5C) In sub-paragraph (5B) “ancillary services” has the meaning given in Article 4.1.3 of the markets in financial instruments directive.]
(6)If the firm’s EEA right derives from [F133the [F134capital requirements directive], F135[F136. . . or, in the case of a credit institution authorised under the [F134capital requirements directive], the markets in financial instruments directive]] and the first condition is satisfied, the [F125appropriate UK regulator] must give a consent notice to the host state regulator unless it has reason to doubt the adequacy of the firm’s resources or its administrative structure.
[F137(6A) If the firm's EEA right derives from the UCITS directive and the first condition is satisfied, the [F125appropriate UK regulator] must give a consent notice and information about the compensation scheme to the host state regulator unless it has reason to doubt the adequacy of the firm's resources or its administrative structure, and must do so within two months beginning with the date on which it received the firm's notice of intention.]
(7)If the firm’s EEA right derives from any of the insurance directives and the first condition is satisfied, the [F125appropriate UK regulator] must give a consent notice unless it has reason—
(a)to doubt the adequacy of the firm’s resources or its administrative structure, or
(b)to question the reputation, qualifications or experience of the directors or managers of the firm or the person proposed as the branch’s authorised agent for the purposes of those directives,
