Securities settlements systems governed by the law applicable within the United Kingdom or any part of the United Kingdom may be operated only by authorised CSDs, the Bank of England (or other public bodies charged with or intervening in the management of public debt in the United Kingdom) acting as a CSD and third-country CSDs that are recognised in accordance with Article 25.\n3. An authorised CSD may have a participation only in a legal person whose activities are limited to the provision of services listed in Sections A and B of the Annex, unless such a participation is approved by its competent authority on the basis that it does not significantly increase the risk profile of the CSD.\n4. The Bank of England may make regulatory technical standards to specify the criteria to be taken into account by the competent authority to approve the participation of CSDs in legal persons other than those providing the services listed in Sections A and B of the Annex. Such criteria may include whether the services provided by that legal person are complementary to the services provided by a CSD, and the extent of the CSD’s exposure to liabilities arising from such participation.\n...\n...",
