The conclusion by a company of an affiliation agreement with an insurance group company or the termination of such an agreement are subject to prior declaration to the Autorité de contrôle prudentiel et de résolution. The latter has a period of time, set by decree in the Conseil d’Etat, from receipt of the application to oppose the proposed transaction if it appears to be contrary to the interests of policyholders. The same applies when a company is excluded from the insurance group company.
A decree of the Conseil d’Etat shall determine the terms and conditions for the application of this article and shall specify the operating conditions of these insurance group companies.
