  • (1) This section, section 97B, section 97C and section 97D apply where a power for the Payment Systems Regulator to make technical standards is substituted for the power of an EU entity to make EU tertiary legislation (the “original EU power”) by regulations made under section 8 of the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018.
  • (2) The power to make technical standards includes power to modify, amend or revoke—
  • (a) any technical standards made by the Payment Systems Regulator under that power;

  • (b) prejudice any current or proposed negotiations for an international agreement between the United Kingdom and one or more other countries, international organisations or institutions.
  • (4) For the purposes of subsection (3), “international organisations” includes the European Union.
  • (5) The Treasury must notify the Payment Systems Regulator in writing whether or not they approve a standards instrument within four weeks after the day on which that instrument is submitted to the Treasury for approval (“the relevant period”).
  • (6) Provision of a draft standards instrument to the Treasury for consultation does not amount to submission of the instrument for approval.
  • (7) If the Treasury do not approve the instrument, they must—

  • (b) lay before Parliament—

  • (ii) a copy of any statement made by the Payment Systems Regulator as to its reasons for wishing to make the instrument.

97D
  • (1) Section 104 (consultation in relation to generally applicable requirements) applies to making technical standards as it applies to imposing a generally applicable requirement within the meaning of section 104(1), as if—
  • (a) in subsection (3)(c) the reference to the Payment Systems Regulator’s duties under section 49 were a reference to the Payment Systems Regulator’s duties under regulation 3(2) and (4) of the Payment Card Interchange Fee Regulations 2015 (“the 2015 Regulations”);
  • (b) in subsection (10), the reference to regulated payment systems were a reference to regulated persons within the meaning of regulation 2(1) of the 2015 Regulations.
  • (2) The provisions of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 listed in subsection (3) apply to technical standards made by the Payment Systems Regulator as they apply to rules made by the FCA subject to the modifications specified in subsection (3).
