Article L532-37 of the French Monetary and Financial Code

When the Autorité des marchés financiers considers that the AIFM may rely on the provisions of Article L. 532-31, it shall notify the European Securities and Markets Authority without delay. The AMF shall provide the following information to support its assessment:

1° A list of the provisions of this section with which the AIFM cannot comply ;

2° A demonstration, based on the technical standards of the European Securities and Markets Authority, that the legislation of the third country concerned provides for provisions equivalent to the provisions of this section with which compliance is impossible, having the same legal effect and offering the same level of protection to investors in the AIF concerned, and that the AIFM complies with these provisions. This demonstration shall be accompanied by a legal opinion on the incompatible provision of the law of the third country, including a description of its legal effect and the nature of the protection it is intended to provide to investors.

Article L532-37

Lorsque l’Autorité des marchés financiers estime que le gestionnaire peut se prévaloir des dispositions de l’article L. 532-31, elle le notifie sans délai à l’Autorité européenne des marchés financiers. L’Autorité des marchés financiers justifie cette évaluation par les informations suivantes :

1° Une liste des dispositions de la présente section auxquelles le gestionnaire ne peut se conformer ;

2° La démonstration, fondée sur les normes techniques de l’Autorité européenne des marchés financiers, d’une part, que la législation du pays tiers concerné prévoit des dispositions équivalentes aux dispositions de la présente section dont le respect est impossible, ayant le même effet juridique et offrant le même niveau de protection aux investisseurs des FIA concernés, et, d’autre part, que le gestionnaire respecte ces dispositions. Cette démonstration est accompagnée d’un avis juridique sur la disposition incompatible de la législation du pays tiers, incluant une description de son effet juridique et de la nature de la protection qu’elle vise à offrir aux investisseurs.
