Those rules may contain obligations for or references to FCA-authorised persons (for example payment service providers and electronic money issuers) notwithstanding that they also are made by the PRA in order to apply them to PRA-authorised persons. GEN 2.2.23 R limits the application of those rules so that the PRA will only apply them in respect of PRA-authorised persons and not to such FCA-authorised persons as are specifically included within the rule.
