  "text": "(This note is not part of the Order)\nThis Order relates to provisions of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (c.8) (“FSMA 2000”) and the Financial Services Act 2012 (c.21) (“the 2012 Act”) which require the regulator of financial services (the Financial Services Authority for the period up to 31 March 2013 and, for the period after that date, the Financial Conduct Authority, the Prudential Regulation Authority and the Bank of England) to pay to the Treasury the amounts received by the regulator by way of penalties imposed under FSMA 2000 or (in the case of the Bank of England) under the Banking Act 2009 (c.1). The regulator must make the payment after deducting its enforcement costs.\nThis Order supplements the definitions of enforcement costs in FSMA 2000 and the 2012 Act in two ways.\nThe effect of article 2 is that the expenses incurred in connection with the exercise or consideration of the possible exercise of any of the powers specified in article 2(1) is to be regarded as an enforcement cost by the Financial Services Authority (for the purposes of section 109 of the 2012 Act) or the Financial Conduct Authority (for the purposes of paragraph of Schedule 1ZA to FSMA 2000). The enactments specified are powers to initiate insolvency proceedings in relation to a person who is carrying on a regulated activity in breach of the general prohibition in section 19 of FSMA 2000 and powers to take enforcement action under various regulatory regimes other than the regime provided for by FSMA 2000 itself. Article 2 also specifies the enforcement powers of the Bank of England under the Uncertificated Securities Regulations 2001 for the purposes of section 110(4)(b) of the 2012 Act.\nThe effect of article 3 is that the expenses incurred in connection with the exercise or consideration of the possible exercise of powers in relation to the investigation of, or (in England and Wales or Northern Ireland) prosecution of the offences specified in article 3 is to be regarded as an enforcement cost by the Financial Services Authority (for the purposes of section 109 of the 2012 Act), the Financial Conduct Authority (for the purposes of paragraph 20 of Schedule 1ZA to FSMA 2000), the Prudential Regulation Authority (for the purposes of paragraph 28 of Schedule 1ZB to FSMA 2000) and the Bank of England (for the purposes of section 110 of the 2012 Act). All offences under the law of a part of the United Kingdom, other than those already specified by the 2012 Act or FSMA 2000 or those offences which only certain regulators may prosecute are specified for this purpose.\nA full impact assessment of the effect that this Order will have on the costs of business and the voluntary sector is available from Her Majesty’s Treasury, 1 Horse Guards Road, London SW1A 2HQ or on www.hm-treasury.gov.uk and is published alongside the Order on www.legislation.gov.uk.",
