2° A Livret A passbook savings account, provided that the institution holding the passbook savings account stipulates this in its general marketing conditions, or a Livret A passbook savings account or a Crédit Mutuel special passbook savings account covered by Article 146(I)(2) of Act no. 2008-776 du 4 août 2008 de modernisation de l’économie.
