The Payment Services (Amendment) Regulations 2015 (revoked)

These Regulations amend the Payment Services Regulations 2009 (S.I. 2009/209) (“the 2009 Regulations”). The 2009 Regulations implement Directive 2007/64/EC of the European Parliament and the Council on payment services in the internal market (OJ L 319, 5.12.2007, p. 1) (“the Payment Services Directive”). Part 8 of the 2009 Regulations makes provision in relation to access to payment systems. Regulation 96 of the 2009 Regulations sets out the scope of the application of the Part and regulation 97 prohibits restrictive rules on access to payment systems. Regulations 98 to 109 originally conferred functions on the Office of Fair Trading in relation to the supervision and enforcement of the prohibition in regulation 97. On 1st April 2014 the 2009 Regulations were amended so that the Office of Fair Trading’s functions were transferred the Competition and Markets Authority (“the CMA”).
