Regulatory Template
Material changes
The Manual has been reviewed to ensure it remains up-to-date and in line with the current interpretation of the applicable legal and regulatory framework.
Following consultations with our local lawyers, we can confirm that there have not been any legal or regulatory changes of relevance for this Manual since the last update.
Implications for business relations with third parties
There have been no substantial changes to the answers when a foreign bank co-operates with third parties.
Non-material changes
Certain comments have been slightly reworded (without introducing material changes).
Regulatory Summary
This document has now a more user-friendly layout and reflects the changes contained in the RT.
Behaviour Template
The answers in the BT have been aligned to those contained in the RT.
BT Short Comparison
BRP has created a comparison document allowing users to quickly identify the modifications made compared to the previous version of the PB Manual (BT Short Comparison). The BT Short Comparison can be found on BRP’s platform (mybrponline) in the Search tab by entering in the Document Field “CM PB BT SHORT COMP” and “LIBYA” in the Target Country Field.
The BT Short Comparison should be read as follows:
The first column contains a short description of the activity in question. The second column contains the answers of the previous version of the Country Manual (online until the day of the alert). The third column contains the new answers of the most recent version of the Country Manual. Only the modified answers are displayed (in color). If the answers in the new version are unchanged compared to the previous version, they are shaded in grey.
Best regards,
