Within the limits of the services that it is authorised to provide within the territory of a Member State other than France, where it has its registered office, any financial institution that has obtained a certificate from the competent authorities of that Member State certifying that it meets the conditions required for this purpose by those authorities may, within the territory of mainland France, the overseas departments, the Department of Mayotte and Saint-Martin, establish branches to provide banking services and operate under the freedom to provide services under the conditions defined in Article L. 511-24, provided that the Autorité de contrôle prudentiel et de résolution has been informed in advance by the competent authority of the home Member State.
For the purposes of the first paragraph, the entities referred to in points 3 to 23 of paragraph 5 of Article 2 of Directive 2013/36/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 26 June 2013 are treated as financial institutions.
An order of the Minister responsible for the economy shall determine the information that the Autorité de contrôle prudentiel et de résolution must have received in advance from the competent authorities of the home Member State in order for the institution concerned to be able to carry on business in France, including in the event of a change in its situation, and the information that the Autorité must send to these authorities and to the institution concerned. The order also sets out the deadlines from which the institution may begin its activities in France.
