  1. (1)

    RRD applies to credit institutions and to investments firms with an initial capital requirement of €730,000. Together, these are referred to as RRD institutions in our rules.

  2. (2)

    It also applies to financial institutions, financial holding companies and mixed financial holding companies within the same group as these institutions that are subsidiaries of a UK parent undertaking. A UK parent undertaking2 is an institution, a financial holding company or a mixed financial holding company in the UK2 that is not itself a subsidiary of an institution, a financial holding company or a mixed financial holding company in the UK2.

  3. (3)

    A group of these types of institutions and group members is referred to as an RRD group in our rules and the members of an RRD group are referred to as RRD group members.

  4. (4)

    If the group includes a BIPRU firm this firm will be an RRD group member because a BIPRU firm is a financial institution.
