They welcome your continued engagement and encourage you to consider the impact of their proposals.
Financial services contracts regime
We have set out proposals to implement the financial services contracts regime (FSCR) so that EEA firms can fulfil their existing contractual obligations in the UK.
The FSCR allows for the continuity of existing contracts after exit day for EEA firms which either:
do not enter the temporary permissions regime, or
exit the regime without full UK authorisation
Allowing contracts to continue is important for protecting UK consumers and minimising market disruption.
The FSCR does not allow EEA firms to take on new business after 29 March 2019. Similarly, EEA-based managers, depositaries and trustees of UK authorised funds cannot continue to manage or provide services to these funds after exit day under FSCR. These firms and fund managers will need to enter the temporary permissions regime.
