Questions referred
(1)Does a payment system, to which the Access Obligation provided for in Article 35(1) of Directive (EU) 2015/2366 (PSD2) would otherwise not apply, by virtue of Article 35(2)(b) PSD2, render itself subject to that Obligation (i) by entering into co-brand arrangements with co-brand partners who do not themselves provide payment services on that system in relation to that co-branded product offering and/or (ii) by using an agent to act on its behalf in providing payment services?
(2)If the answer to Question (1) is ‘yes’, is Article 35(1) of PSD2 invalid in so far as it provides that systems with such arrangements are to be subject to the Access Obligation, on the grounds of:

(b)manifest error of assessment; and/or
