Prudential Regulation Authority publishes CP12/20

 

UK withdrawal from the EU: Changes before the end of the transition period 22 September 2020 This joint Bank of England and Prudential Regulation Authority (PRA) Consultation Paper (CP) contains: Section A: an update on the Bank’s and PRA’s intended use of the temporary transitional power provided for in the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019. Section B: Bank and PRA consultation with proposals to fix deficiencies arising from the UK’s withdrawal from the EU and make consequential changes before the end of the transition period. Section B is split into three parts: Part 1 sets out Bank and PRA proposals in relation to consequential changes required to existing Bank and PRA EU Exit Instruments to update references to exit day and a small number of changes in light of adaptations to relevant EU legislation made by the European Economic Area (EEA) Agreement. Part 2 sets out the PRA’s proposals in relation to the PRA Rulebook and BTS that will, or are expected to, be retained in UK law. Part 3 sets out the Bank’s (as FMI competent authority) proposals in relation to BTS that will be retained in UK law.  This CP is relevant to all firms authorised and regulated by the PRA, including those that expect to have a deemed permission under the ‘temporary permissions regime’ (TPR) or Financial Services Contracts Regime (FSCR), or that seek to apply for PRA authorisation in the future. It is also relevant to FMIs recognised and supervised by the Bank, including those central counterparties (CCPs) that expect to have a deemed recognition under the ‘temporary recognition regime’ (TRR).
