    • AU-B.1.3

      The authorisation requirements in Chapter AU-1 have general applicability, in that they prevent any person from providing (or seeking to provide) regulated ancillary services within or from the Kingdom of Bahrain, unless they have been licensed as a an ancillary service provider by the CBB (see Rule AU-1.1.1).

    • AU-B.1.4

      The remaining requirements in Chapters AU-1 to AU-3 (besides those mentioned in Section AU-B.1 above) apply to all those licensed by the CBB as an ancillary service provider licensee, or which are in the process of seeking such a license. They apply to persons incorporated in the Kingdom of Bahrain, unless otherwise specified.

    • AU-B.1.5

      Chapter AU-2 applies to licensees (not just applicants), since licensing conditions have to be met on a continuous basis by licensees. Similarly, Chapter AU-3 applies to approved persons on a continuous basis; it also applies to licensees seeking an approved person authorisation. Chapter AU-4 contains requirements applicable to licensees, with respect to the starting up of their operations, as well as to licensees and approved persons, with respect to the amendment or cancellation of their authorised status. Finally, Section AU-5.2 imposes annual fees on licensees.
