Notwithstanding the provisions of Act 68-678 of 26 July 1968 relating to the disclosure of economic, commercial, industrial, financial or technical documents and information to foreign natural or legal persons, the counterpart authorities of another Member State of the European Union or of another State party to the Agreement on the European Economic Area may request the cooperation of the Autorité de contrôle prudentiel et de résolution or the Autorité des marchés financiers in connection with a supervisory activity, an on-site inspection or an investigation.
In the same context, when the Autorité de contrôle prudentiel et de résolution or the Autorité des marchés financiers receives a request concerning an on-site inspection or an investigation, it shall respond to the request either by carrying it out itself, by allowing the requesting authority to carry it out directly, or by allowing auditors or experts to carry it out.
Where it does not carry out the on-site inspection or investigation itself, the authority that submitted the request may, if it so wishes, be involved.
