This rule has been the subject of a [http://www.fsa.gov.uk/static/pubs/other/conflicts-of-interest.pdf circular on conflicts of interest] circulated in 2012 by the FSA which created some consternation as to whther [[corporate access]] could be treated as [[research]] for the purposes of COBS {{cobsprov|11.6.3}}.
This rule has been the subject [https://www.fca.org.uk/publications/policy-statements/ps14-7-changes-use-dealing-commission-rules-feedback-cp13-17-and FCA Policy Statement 14/7] which changed the ground rules re whether [[corporate access]] could be treated as [[research]] for the purposes of COBS {{cobsprov|11.6.3}}. Expect {{tag|MiFID 2}} to wring yet more changes.


See also {{cobsprov|11.6.8}} which gives examples of goods or services that relate to the execution of trades or the provision of research that the {{tag|FCA}} does ''not'' regard as meeting the requirements of either evidential provisions.
