1We3 have not copied out the onshored3 technical standards into the Handbook, but instead adopted the signposting convention illustrated above.

1In addition to enabling the FCA and PRA to make3 technical standards, the Exit Regulations also onshore3 delegated acts prepared by the Commission, itself, in the form of regulations (see, for example, references to the MiFID Org Regulation (Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2017/565) and the MiFIR Delegated Regulation (EU) 2017/567).
