The Autorité des marchés financiers shall propose to recognise the status of regulated market only if it is satisfied that the persons referred to in Article L. 421-7 are of sufficiently good repute, have the knowledge, skills and experience necessary to perform their duties and devote sufficient time to them, and that there are no objective and demonstrable reasons for considering that the corporate bodies constituted by these persons within the market undertaking would be likely to jeopardise the efficient, sound and prudent management of the market undertaking and the proper consideration of market integrity.
During the process of recognition as a regulated market, the persons referred to in Article L. 421-7 who effectively manage the activities and operations of a market that is already a regulated market are deemed to meet the requirements set forth in the first paragraph of this article.
