Within the limits of the services that it is authorised to provide in the territory of a Member State other than France where it has its registered office and depending on the authorisation it has received there, any credit institution may, in the territory of mainland France, the overseas departments, the Department of Mayotte and Saint-Martin, establish branches to provide banking services and operate under the freedom to provide services under the conditions defined in Article L. 511-24, subject to the Autorité de contrôle prudentiel et de résolution having been informed in advance by the competent authority of the home Member State or by the European Central Bank, as the case may be.
An order of the Minister responsible for the economy determines the information that the Autorité de contrôle prudentiel et de résolution must have received in advance from the competent authorities of the home Member State in order for the institution concerned to be able to carry out its activities in France, including in the event of a change in its situation, and the information that the Autorité must send to these authorities and to the institution concerned. The order also sets out the deadlines from which the institution may begin its activities in France.
