The EEA territorial scope rule modifies the general rule of application to the extent necessary to be compatible with European law (see paragraph 1.1 of Part 2 of COBS 1 Annex 1). This means that COBS 12.2 and COBS 12.3.4 G also apply to passported activities carried on by a UK MiFID investment firm from a branch in another EEA state, but do not apply to the United Kingdom branch of an EEA MiFID investment firm in relation to its MiFID business.
