a
which is a home state regulator; or
b
which exercises any function of a kind mentioned in subsection (4).

6
In deciding in any case in which the F9appropriate regulator does not consider that the exercise of its power of intervention is necessary in order to comply with F2an EU obligation, it may take into account in particular—

whether in the country or territory of the overseas regulator concerned, corresponding assistance would be given to a United Kingdom regulatory authority;

whether the case concerns the breach of a law, or other requirement, which has no close parallel in the United Kingdom or involves the assertion of a jurisdiction not recognised by the United Kingdom;
