(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order amends the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (Qualifying EU Provisions) Order 2013 (S.I. 2013/419). As a result of the amendments, directly applicable regulations made under Directive 2009/138/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council on the taking-up and pursuit of the business of insurance and reinsurance (Solvency II) (OJ L 335, 17.12.2009, p.1) are specified as qualifying EU provisions for the purposes of various provisions of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (c.8). This means that the Prudential Regulation Authority may use powers in the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (2000 c. 8) to enforce requirements imposed by directly applicable regulations made under that Directive.
An impact assessment of the effect that this instrument will have on the costs of business and the voluntary sector has not been prepared. This Order provides an enforcement mechanism for obligations which are imposed by directly applicable EU legislation and any impact on business or the voluntary sector will arise as a result of that EU legislation rather than this Order.
2000 c. 8; sections 2A(6)(d), 39(4)(b), 168(4)(k), 204A(2)(b), 204A(4), 380(6)(a)(i), 380(9), 382(9)(a)(i), 382(12), 384(7)(a), 384(10) and paragraph 31(2)(b) of Schedule 1ZB were inserted or amended by the Financial Services Act 2012 (c. 28) and section 66B(4)(b) was inserted by the Financial Services (Banking Reform) Act 2013 (c. 33). Sections 204A(2)(b), 380(6)(a)(i), 382(9)(a)(i) and 384(7)(a) were amended by S.I. 2007/126, 2013/1773 and 2016/225.
S.I. 2013/419, amended by S.I. 2013/1773, 2014/2879, 2014/3348, 2016/680 and 2016/715.
The expression "Solvency 2 Directive" is defined in section 425 of and Schedule 3 to the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000.
