They may only carry out the operations for which they have been authorised.
Approval is granted, at the request of the undertaking, for the reinsurance of operations covered either by 1° of Article L. 310-1, or by 2° and 3° of Article L. 310-1, or for the reinsurance of all of these operations.

2° A subsidiary of the parent undertaking of an insurance or reinsurance undertaking authorised in another Member State of the European Community or in another State party to the Agreement on the European Economic Area;
3° Or an undertaking controlled by a natural or legal person who also controls an insurance or reinsurance undertaking authorised in another Member State of the European Community or in another State party to the Agreement on the European Economic Area,
The Autorité de contrôle prudentiel et de résolution shall consult the competent authorities of the other Member State of the European Community or of the State party to the Agreement on the European Economic Area concerned.
Before granting an authorisation to a reinsurance undertaking whose scheme of operations provides that part of its business will be based on the freedom to provide services or the freedom of establishment in another Member State, and where that scheme of operations shows that the activities in question are likely to have a significant effect on the market of the host Member State, the Autorité de contrôle prudentiel et de résolution shall inform the European Insurance and Occupational Pensions Authority and the supervisory authority of the host Member State concerned.
The information referred to in the penultimate paragraph of this II shall be sufficiently detailed to allow a proper assessment of the situation by the European Insurance and Occupational Pensions Authority and the supervisory authority of the host Member State.
