What we are consulting on this quarter

In this paper we propose changes to:

  • disapply some Handbook rules to authorised professional firms who carry out non-mainstream regulated activities
  • the appointed representatives appointment form
  • the COBS rules for insurance distribution
  • FEES 4.2 relating to the tariff data used to calculate fees for newly authorised firms
  • FEES 4.4, FEES 4 Annex 1AR and FEES 5.4 relating to the tariff data (measure of size of firms within a fee-block) we will use to calculate insurers’ periodic fees and levies from 2018/19
  • BCOBS 7 as a result of detailed technical discussions with firms preparing to implement the requirements, which have identified that certain rules do not achieve the outcome set out in PS17/26
  • DEPP and EG following the transfer of the Northern Ireland mutual societies registration function to the FCA
  • DEPP and EG following the implementation of the MMF Regulation and amendments to EuSEF and EuVECA Regulations
