The European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 (EUWA) repeals the European Communities Act 1972 on the day the UK leaves the EU and incorporates into UK domestic law the existing body of directly applicable EU law. The purpose of the EUWA is to provide a functioning statute book on the day we leave the EU.<\/p>
In some instances, the retained EU law relating to financial services includes provisions that relate to thresholds measuring the proportion of the entire EU market or a specified number or grouping of member states. We are aware of four provisions in the Markets in Financial Instruments Regulations (MiFIR) (Article 5(1)(a) and 1(b), and subparagraphs (3)-(6) and subparagraph (9), Article 9(5), Article 14(5), Article 36(5)), five provisions in the Commission Delegated Regulation amending MiFID 565/2017 (Article 12 to 16) and one provision in the Commission Delegated Regulation 2017/567 (Article 5(1)(a) and (b)).<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4051", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for John Glen"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Salisbury"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "John Glen"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2018-11-06", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2018-11-06T17:13:40.253Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "14"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Treasury"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Treasury"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2018-11-01", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Financial Services: EU Law"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, how many provisions in financial and related regulations which require transposition into UK law in the event of the UK leaving the EU without a deal include thresholds measuring the proportion of (a) the entire EU market or (b) a specified number or grouping of member states.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4657", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Anneliese Dodds"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Oxford East"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Anneliese Dodds"} ], "uin" : "187143"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/794485", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "HM Treasury"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/794485/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "
The Markets in Financial Instruments Directive (MiFID) II implements commitments made by the G20 in 2009 in light of the financial crisis. The UK achieved its key objectives in negotiations for MiFID II, which introduces changes that are necessary to support the effective functioning of financial markets.<\/p>
<\/p>
The detailed regulations under MiFID II, which take the form of delegated acts and regulatory technical standards, are largely complete ahead of their application on 3 January 2018. The UK authorities have been fully engaged in their development. The Chancellor has no plans to make a specific statement at this time.<\/p>

The Capital Requirements Directive IV (CRD IV) implements, in the EU, the prudential banking standards agreed by the international Basel Committee. The Government supports these global standards to ensure that we do not again face severe economic impacts as a result of inadequate banking regulation and would have implemented these with or without EU legislation.<\/p>
<\/p>
It is difficult to isolate the costs and benefits from other prudential banking measures introduced since the global financial crisis. And the benefits in particular are hard to capture as they take time to materialize. However, the Prudential Regulation Authority (PRA) stated in its cost-benefit analysis carried out 2013 that \u2018the CRDIV package is net beneficial to the UK economy.\u2019<\/p>
<\/p>
Taking all of the prudential measures together, the PRA has estimated that the net economic benefit is £8.25bn per annum.<\/p>
