On 1 November 2012 the Financial Services Authority issued a Policy Statement ”summarising the responses to our consultation on the proposed changes to the Handbook we need to make to comply with the EU Short Selling Regulation (SSR) from 1 November 2012, as well as our policies regarding the exercise of the discretions the SSR gives us”, and also published the changes to the FSA Handbook necessary to give effect to the SSR.
The Policy Statement and Handbook changes can be read here. A useful full note on the SSR by White & Case is here (pdf).
