## Explanatory Note

(This note is not part of the Order)

This Order identifies the directly applicable provisions of EU law which are specified as qualifying EU provisions and directly                        applicable EU provisions for the purposes of various provisions in the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (c.8) (“the Act”). The effect of the Order is to apply certain provisions of the Act for purposes connected with the specified EU provisions.                     

Article 2 specifies provisions of EU law for general purposes including sections 1A and 2A of the Act (the functions of the                        Financial Conduct Authority (“FCA”) and the functions of the Prudential Regulation Authority (“PRA”)) and section 168 of the                        Act (power of the regulators to appoint an investigator).                     

Article 3 specifies provisions of EU law for the purposes of disciplinary measures imposed under Part 14 of the Act. Article                        3 also specifies which of the FCA or PRA is responsible for taking disciplinary action in relation to each specified provision                        of EU law.                     

Article 4 specifies provisions of EU law for purposes connected with the regulation of clearing houses and investment exchanges                        under Part 18 of the Act.                     

Article 5 specifies provisions of EU law for the purposes of the powers under Part 25 (including that Part as applied by Schedule                        17A to the Act in connection with recognised clearing houses) to obtain injunctions or provide for restitution.                     

Article 6 specifies provisions of EU law for the purposes of the fee-raising powers of the FCA, the PRA and the Bank of England                        under the Act.
