30.—(1) Without prejudice to the generality of regulation 147 (duty to co-operate and exchange of information), the FCA must co-operate with the host state competent authority or home state competent authority, as the case may be, in relation to the exercise of passport rights by any authorised payment institution or EEA authorised payment institution.
(2) The FCA must, in particular—
(a)notify the host state competent authority whenever it intends to carry out an on-site inspection in the host state competent authority's territory; and
(b)provide the host state competent authority or home state competent authority, as the case may be—
(i)on request, with all relevant information; and
(ii)on its own initiative, with all essential information, including on compliance with the conditions at regulation 6(4) and (5) (conditions for authorisation),
relating to the exercise of passport rights by an authorised payment institution or EEA authorised payment institution, including where there is an infringement or suspected infringement of these Regulations or of the provisions of the payment services directive by an agent or branch.
(3) Where the FCA and the home state competent authority agree, the FCA may carry out on-site inspections on behalf of the home state competent authority in respect of payment services provided by an EEA authorised payment institution exercising its passport rights.
(4) The FCA may direct that an EEA authorised payment institution exercising its passport rights to provide payment services in the United Kingdom through a branch or an agent in the United Kingdom must report to the FCA on such activities, for information and statistical purposes and, where the EEA authorised payment institution has exercised its right of establishment in the United Kingdom, to monitor compliance with Parts 6 (information requirements for payment services) and 7 (rights and obligations in relation to the provision of payment services) of these Regulations.
(5) Reports required under paragraph (4) must be given at such times and in such form, and verified in such manner, as the FCA may direct.
(6) An agent in the United Kingdom appointed by an EEA authorised payment institution or a branch of an EEA authorised payment institution in the United Kingdom must maintain the confidentiality of any confidential information provided to the FCA under paragraph (4).
(7) The FCA may direct that an EEA authorised payment institution exercising its passport rights to provide payment services in the United Kingdom through an agent under the right of establishment must appoint a central contact point in the United Kingdom in order to ensure adequate communication and information reporting on compliance with Parts 6 and 7 and to facilitate supervision by the FCA and the home state competent authority.
(8) If a host state competent authority informs the FCA that an authorised payment institution providing services through an EEA branch or an EEA agent does not comply with a provision of the payment services directive, the FCA must—
(a)exercise its powers as appropriate without undue delay, to ensure that the authorised payment institution complies with the relevant provisions; and
(b)inform the host state competent authority and the competent authority of any other relevant EEA State of the measures taken without delay.
(9) Where immediate action is necessary to address a serious risk to the collective interests of payment service users in the United Kingdom, the FCA may, in addition to providing information under paragraph (2), take precautionary measures in relation to an EEA authorised payment institution pending action by the home state competent authority.
(10) Any measures taken under paragraph (9) must be temporary and must end when the risk identified has been addressed.
(11) If the FCA decides to take measures under paragraph (9), it must inform the home state competent authority, the competent authority of any other relevant EEA State, and the European Banking Authority of the measures to be taken and the reason that immediate action is necessary—
(a)in advance of taking the measures, if that is compatible with the need for immediate action; and
(b)in any event without undue delay.
(12) In paragraphs (8)(b) and (11) “competent authority of any other relevant EEA State” means a competent authority designated in accordance with Article 22 of the payment services directive in an EEA State which the FCA considers to have an interest in the measures taken, or to be taken, by the FCA.
