(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order amends the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (Gibraltar) Order 2001 (S.I. 2001/3084) (“the Gibraltar Order”).
Article 2 of the Gibraltar Order is amended to enable management companies, as defined in Article 6 of the Directive of the European Parliament and of the Council 2009/65/EC of 13th July 2009 on the coordination of laws, regulations and administrative provisions relating to undertakings for collective investment in transferable securities (“UCITS”) (OJ No. L 302, 17/11/2009, p. 32; “the UCITS directive”), which are based in Gibraltar, to exercise certain rights to establish branches and provide services in the United Kingdom. The rights correspond to the rights of firms authorised in other EEA States under the UCITS directive to establish branches and provide services in the United Kingdom.
Article 2 is also amended to disapply the obligation in Part 13 of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (c. 8) for the Financial Services Authority to notify the European Commission and the European Securities and Markets Authority when it intervenes in the affairs of an incoming EEA firm, when the intervention is in respect of a Gibraltar-based firm that is treated as an EEA firm by virtue of the Gibraltar Order.
Article 2 is further amended to enable a UCITS constituted under Gibraltar law to be treated as an EEA UCITS for purposes of the merger regime set out in Part 4 of the Undertakings for Collective Investment in Transferable Securities Regulations 2011 (S.I. 2011/1613).
Article 3A is inserted to enable collective investment schemes constituted under Gibraltar law to be treated as recognised overseas schemes for the purposes of the Act. Article 4 is amended to provide a corresponding right for UK firms to establish branches and provide services in Gibraltar and to market units of UK-established UCITS in Gibraltar.
A full impact assessment has not been prepared for this instrument as no impact on the costs of business or the voluntary sector is foreseen.
S.I. 2001/3084, amended by S.I 2005/1, 2006/1805, 2007/3254; there are other amending instruments but none is relevant.
Paragraph (3B) of article 2 was inserted by S.I. 2007/3254.
