Where it appears that the situation of a credit institution or finance company so warrants, the Governor of the Banque de France, Chairman of the Autorité de contrôle prudentiel et de résolution, shall, after obtaining the opinion of the Autorité de contrôle prudentiel et de résolution, except in an emergency, invite the shareholders or members of that undertaking to provide it with the necessary support.
In cases where the credit institution is a major institution within the meaning of Article 6(4) of Council Regulation (EU) No 1024/2013 of 15 October 2013, the Governor must have previously referred the matter to the European Central Bank for its opinion.
