SUP 13A Annex 1 Application of the Handbook to Incoming EEA Firms

G

1. The table below summarises the application of the Handbook to an incoming EEA firm. Where the table indicates that a particular module of the Handbook may apply, its application in relation to any particular activity is dependent on the detailed application provisions in that module. The table does not apply to incoming ECA providers. These should refer to ECO 1 for guidance on howthe Handbook applies to them.

2. In some cases, the application of the Handbook depends on whether responsibility for a matter is reserved under a European Community instrument to the incoming EEA firm'sHome State regulator. Guidance on the reservation of responsibility is contained in SYSC App 1 (Matters reserved to a Home State regulator).

3. For an incoming EEA firm which has permission for cross-border services only, many parts of the Handbook apply only if the firm carries on regulated activities in the United Kingdom. Those parts of the Handbook will therefore not apply if the firm confines its activities to those within the overseas persons exclusions in article 72 of the Regulated Activities Order, or which would not be regarded as carried on in the United Kingdom. Further guidance may be found in PERG 2.4 (Link between activities and the United Kingdom) and PERG 2.9.15 G to PERG 2.9.17 G (Overseas persons).

(1) Module of Handbook

(2) Potential application to an incoming EEA firm with respect to activities carried on from an establishment of the firm (or its appointed representative) in the United Kingdom

(3) Potential application to an incoming EEA firm with respect to activities carried on other than from an establishment of the firm (or its appointed representative) in the United Kingdom

PRIN

The Principles apply only in so far as responsibility for the matter in question is not reserved by a European Community instrument to the firm'sHome State regulator (PRIN 3.1.1 R (1)).

For an incoming EEA firm which is a BCD credit institution without a top-up permission, Principle 4 applies only in relation to the liquidity of a branch established in the United Kingdom (PRIN 3.1.1 R (2)).

The Principles do not apply if the firm has permission only for cross-border services and does not carry on regulated activities in the United Kingdom (PRIN 3.1.1 R (2)).

The Principles have limited application for activities which are not carried on from a UK establishment (see PRIN 3.1.1 R).

Otherwise, see column (2).

SYSC

SYSC 1 contains application provisions only. SYSC 2 and SYSC 3 apply as set out in SYSC 1.1.1 R (1):

(1) SYSC 2.1.1 R (1) and SYSC 2.1.2 G do not apply;

(2) SYSC 2.1.3 R to SYSC 2.2.3 G apply, but only in relation to allocation of the function in SYSC 2.1.3 R (2) and only in so far as responsibility for the matter in question is not reserved by a European Community instrument to the firm'sHome State regulator; and

(3) SYSC 3 applies, but only in so far as responsibility for the matter in question is not reserved by a European Community instrument to the firm'sHome State regulator. SYSC 1.1.7 R (Where?) further restricts the territorial application of SYSC 1 to SYSC 3 for an incoming EEA firm. Further guidance is contained in SYSC 2.1.6 G, Question 12. SYSC 184applies to the extent that the Public Interest Disclosure Act 1998 applies to the firm.

SYSC 1 to SYSC 3 do not apply if the firm has permission only for cross-border services and does not carry on regulated activities in the United Kingdom (SYSC 1.1.1 R (2)). SYSC 1 to SYSC 3 have limited application for activities which are not carried on from a UK establishment (see SYSC 1.1.7 R).

Otherwise, see column (2).

COND

COND does not apply if the firm does not have, or apply for, a top-up permission.

Otherwise, only threshold conditions 1, 3, 4 and 5 apply and only in so far as relevant to:
