in relation to the matters mentioned in section 1EA(2), the continuity objective (see section 1EA).

Continuity objective

In relation to the matters mentioned in subsection (2), the continuity objective is: protecting the continuity of the provision in the United Kingdom of core services (see section 142C).
2
Those matters are—
a
Part 9B (ring-fencing);
b
ring-fenced bodies (see section 142A);
c
any body corporate incorporated in the United Kingdom that has a ring-fenced body as a member of its group;
d
applications under Part 4A which, if granted, would result, or would be capable of resulting, in a person becoming a ring-fenced body.
3
The FCA's continuity objective is to be advanced primarily by—
a
seeking to ensure that the business of ring-fenced bodies is carried on in a way that avoids any adverse effect on the continuity of the provision in the United Kingdom of core services,
b
seeking to ensure that the business of ring-fenced bodies is protected from risks (arising in the United Kingdom or elsewhere) that could adversely affect the continuity of the provision in the United Kingdom of core services, and
c
seeking to minimise the risk that the failure of a ring-fenced body or of a member of a ring-fenced body's group could adversely affect the continuity of the provision in the United Kingdom of core services.

In subsection (3)(c), “
failure
” is to be read in accordance with section 2J(3) to (4).
