“Obligations derived from EU law would continue to apply and firms must continue with implementation plans for EU legislation that is still to come into effect before the end of December 2020,” said the FCA.
“Consumer rights and protections derived from EU law would also continue to apply.”
The implementation period forms part of the withdrawal agreement, which is subject to further negotiations between the UK and EU before it is finalised.
