In order to supervise an investment service provider benefiting from the regime provided for in Article L. 532-18-1, the competent authorities of the home country to which it belongs may require its branches established in France to disclose any information relevant to the exercise of that supervision.
After informing the Autorité de contrôle prudentiel et de résolution in advance, the competent authority of the home country of an investment services provider with branches located in mainland France, Guadeloupe, French Guiana, Martinique, La Réunion, Mayotte and Saint-Martin may, as part of its supervisory duties, carry out on-site inspections of the branch, either directly or through the intermediary of persons specially appointed by the authority for this purpose. The results of such inspections shall be communicated to the Autorité de contrôle prudentiel et de résolution without being subject to the rules relating to professional secrecy. The Autorité de contrôle prudentiel et de résolution shall, where appropriate, inform the Autorité des marchés financiers of such inspections and their results.
In addition, the Autorité de contrôle prudentiel et de résolution and the Autorité des marchés financiers shall carry out any checks requested by the competent authorities of the home state.
