Subject to the provisions of Articles L. 326-21 to L. 326-29, the reorganisation measures defined in Article L. 323-8 and the decisions concerning the opening of winding-up proceedings taken by the competent authorities of a Member State of the European Union other than France with regard to an insurance undertaking whose head office is situated within the territory of that State produce all their effects within the territory of the French Republic without any further formality, including with regard to third parties, as soon as they produce their effects in that State. These provisions also apply when reorganisation measures or decisions opening winding-up proceedings are taken in respect of a branch of an insurance undertaking whose head office is located outside the European Union.
The same applies to decisions taken in a Member State other than France in the context of the voluntary winding-up of an insurance undertaking involving administrative or judicial intervention.
The reorganisation measures defined in Article L. 323-8 and the decisions initiating winding-up proceedings taken by the competent French public authority in respect of an undertaking which has received the authorisation referred to in Articles L. 321-1, L. 321-7 and L. 329-1 have full effect in the territory of the other Member States of the European Union, subject to the provisions of Articles L. 326-21 to L. 326-30.
