The European Commission (“EC”) published a new webpage (which can be found here) which contains notices setting out the consequences that the UK withdrawal from the EU will have on banking and finance rules.

The notices relate to a number of areas including: markets in financial instruments, banking and payment services, post-trade financial services, asset management, credit rating agencies, insurance and reinsurance and, statutory audit.

Each note sets out the consequences of EU rules no longer applying to the UK in the above areas, if the UK becomes a third party. That could happen from March 30, 2019, when all EU primary and secondary law will cease to apply to the UK unless a ratified withdrawal agreement establishes another date.
