I. – Any UCITS governed by French law which intends to market its units or shares and, where applicable, classes of units or shares, in another Member State of the European Union or party to the Agreement on the European Economic Area, shall first submit to the competent authority of the host State, via the Autorité des marchés financiers, in accordance with the conditions laid down by decree, a notification file specifying the procedures planned for the marketing, in that State, of these units or shares and, where applicable, of these classes of units or shares. The conditions for such marketing and the notification procedures are set by the General Regulations of the Autorité des marchés financiers.
II. – The Autorité des marchés financiers shall immediately notify the UCITS that it has forwarded the file referred to in I to the competent authority of the host country.
The units or shares of the UCITS may be marketed in the host country from the date of the notification referred to in the previous paragraph.
III – In the event of a change in the marketing arrangements indicated in the notification file or in the categories of units or shares to be marketed, the UCITS shall inform the AMF and the competent authority of the host State at least one month before implementing the said change.
Where such a change would result in the UCITS no longer complying with the laws and regulations applicable to it, the AMF shall, within fifteen working days of receiving full information about the change, ask the UCITS not to proceed with it and shall inform the competent authority of the UCITS host State accordingly.
If the UCITS implements the change despite the warning from the AMF, the AMF shall take all appropriate measures, including an express prohibition on marketing the UCITS, and shall notify the competent authority of the UCITS host State of the measures taken without delay.
IV. – Any UCITS governed by French law which markets its units or shares, including classes of units or shares, in another Member State of the European Union or party to the Agreement on the European Economic Area may withdraw the notification file referred to in I. The conditions for such withdrawal are set by the General Regulation of the Autorité des marchés financiers.
