The transfer is effected by the issuer sending a request to the FSA together with supporting documentation about the company and, where relevant, the contemplated issue. Then the FSA assesses the request and takes a decision based on this. When the FSA has approved the request, the FSA forwards the decision on transfer of the competence of approval together with the documentation to the competent authority to which transfer has been requested. The FSA informs the issuer of the decision no later than three working days after taking the decision.
The issuer must use the FSA’s standard form for requesting transfer of the competence of approval.
