Waiver: Comparable disclosures provided on a consolidated basis by a parent undertaking established in a third country

- (1)
satisfy the FSA that it is included within comparable disclosures provided on a consolidated basis by a parent undertaking whose head office is not in an EEA State; and
- (2)
notify the FSA of the location where the comparable disclosures are provided.
