The transition period for the UK leaving the European Union (“Brexit”) ended on 31 December 2020. In the months before the transition period ended, the UK converted into law any existing EU regulations that had direct effect in the UK at the end of the transition period. During this “onshoring” process the UK in some cases made technical and other amendments to the legislation so that it would work in the UK after Brexit. EU Directives applying before 31 December 2020 already formed part of UK law, so did not need UK onshoring.   This episode is part of our Markets and Securities Services RegTalks series, covering regulatory topics from a global perspective that matter the most to you. For more information, click here  Hosted on Acast.
