I. – When the High Council concludes that acts contrary to the statute governing statutory auditors or to the rules governing the practice of statutory auditing have been committed on the territory of another Member State of the European Union, its Chairman shall inform the competent authority of that State, specifying the reasons that led him to this conclusion and the factual elements that gave rise to it.
Where the High Council is informed by a competent authority that such acts have been committed on French territory, it shall take appropriate measures and inform that authority of the action taken in response to its request.
II. – The General Rapporteur may ask the authority of a Member State exercising powers similar to those of the High Council to conduct an investigation on the territory of that State. He may also request that staff of the High Council be authorised to accompany those of the competent authority of that State in the course of the investigation.
He shall inform the Chairman of the High Council of any such request.
