Markets in Financial Instruments Benchmarks and Financial Promotions (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2021

These Regulations are made in exercise of the powers in section 8 of the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018. They address deficiencies in retained EU law in relation to the non-discriminatory access regime for exchange-traded derivatives (ETDs) and the low carbon benchmarks regime, as well as making technical amendments to certain exemptions to the financial promotions regime for relevant markets to ensure that they apply to UK markets following the UK’s departure from the EU.
