The specific revised directions published by the FCA were for:

• European Economic Area (EEA) firms with passports and Treaty firms, here;

• EEA collective investment schemes, here;

• EEA alternative investment funds, here;

• authorized payment institutions and EEA registered account information service providers, here; and
