Financial securities issued on French territory and subject to French law are registered either in a securities account held by the issuer or by one of the intermediaries mentioned in 2° to 7° of Article L. 542-1 or, in the cases provided for in Article L. 211-7, in a shared electronic registration system.
Registration in a shared electronic registration system takes the place of account registration.
A decree of the Conseil d’Etat shall set the conditions under which financial securities may be registered in a shared electronic record-keeping system as referred to above, offering guarantees, particularly in terms of authentication, at least equivalent to those offered by registration in a securities account.
