EG 3.8B Information requests and investigations under the enhanced supervision of EEA firms under the Insurance Distribution Directive

EG 3.8B1

1Under the IDD, where an EEA firm’s primary place of business is located in the United Kingdom rather than in its home member state, section 203A allows the FCA to enter into an agreement with that firm’s Home State regulator to exercise certain functions as if the firm were a UK firm. This same power but in reverse allows by virtue of section 203B the FCA to agree that an EEA regulator can exercise certain functions in respect of a UK firm whose primary place of business is in that EEA member state (see also SUP 13.11A.2G). A firm will be notified of such an agreement without delay.
