On July 12, 2018, the European Securities and Markets Authority issued a public statement urging U.K.-based financial institutions to prepare for a hard Brexit. In particular, ESMA states that firms wishing to continue providing services across the EU after the U.K. has exited the EU must make timely applications for authorization to the relevant national regulators in the EU member state in which the firm wants to relocate its business. ESMA notes that it has seen an increase in applications being made and highlights that some national regulators have stipulated that applications needed to be received in June/July 2018 for approval to be granted in time.

The ESMA's statement is available at: https://www.esma.europa.eu/press-news/esma-news/esma-reminds-uk-based-regulated-entities-about-timely-submission-authorisation.
