CP18/28: Brexit: proposed changes to the Handbook and Binding Technical Standards – first consultation
The Financial Conduct Authority proposes amendments to its Handbook and Binding Technical Standards to ensure regulatory continuity following the UK's departure from the European Union. These changes address deficiencies arising from the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 and align domestic rules with government Statutory Instruments, while explicitly avoiding broader policy revisions. The regulator seeks stakeholder feedback on these technical adjustments by 7 December 2018 to prepare for potential exit scenarios without a withdrawal agreement.
