UK Conduct Regulator Confirms EU Regulatory Reporting Regime Applies During Brexit Implementation Period

The U.K. Financial Conduct Authority has announced that during the Brexit implementation period, all existing regulatory reporting will continue under the EU regime. The FCA's announcement follows the adoption by the Council of the European Union of the Withdrawal Agreement on the same day, which means that the U.K. will leave the EU on January 31, 2020. Although the U.K. will have left the EU, EU law will apply in the U.K. until the transitional or implementation period ends on December 31, 2020. The FCA confirmed that EEA firms wanting to enter the Temporary Permissions Regime or fund managers wanting to continue to market funds in the U.K. under the Temporary Marketing Permissions Regime had until the end of the day on January 30, 2020 to notify the FCA.
