a) A related undertaking;
b) A participating undertaking;
c) Another undertaking related to any of its participating undertakings.
When calculating the solvency of the group, no account is taken of any own funds eligible to cover the Solvency Capital Requirement of an insurance undertaking or reinsurance undertaking linked to the undertaking mentioned in the first paragraph of Article R. 356-8 for which the solvency of the group is calculated when the item in question arises from reciprocal financing with another undertaking linked to that undertaking.
Reciprocal financing is deemed to exist at least when an insurance or reinsurance undertaking, or any of its related undertakings, holds shares in another undertaking which, directly or indirectly, holds own funds eligible to cover the Solvency Capital Requirement of the first undertaking, or when it grants loans to that other undertaking.
