Part 1 of these Regulations (introductory provisions) designates the Financial Conduct Authority (the “FCA”) as the competent authority in the United Kingdom responsible for carrying on the duties of the competent authority under the EU Benchmarks Regulation 2016.

Part 2 of these Regulations (FCA powers over Miscellaneous BM persons) makes provision for the FCA to exercise powers in respect of persons who are involved in the provision of a benchmark (Miscellaneous BM persons) but are not benchmark administrators within the meaning of Article 3 of the EU Benchmarks Regulation 2016.

Part 3 of these Regulations (FCA powers in relation to persons publishing or contributing to benchmarks) makes provision for the FCA to impose requirements on persons requiring them to administer or contribute to a benchmark.

Part 4 of these Regulations (administering a benchmark) makes provision in respect of the administration of a benchmark.

Part 5 of these Regulations (amendments to the Act) makes amendments to the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (c.8) (“the Act”) to give effect to the EU Benchmarks Regulation 2016. Section 22 of the Act (regulated activities) is amended to provide that administration of a benchmark is a regulated activity. There are also other amendments to the Act.
