It may examine the conditions of their operation and the quality of their financial situation, taking into account the supervision exercised by the competent authorities mentioned in 2 of article L. 511-21.
In order to carry out this supervision or for information or statistical purposes or to assess whether a branch is of significant importance, the Autorité de contrôle prudentiel et de résolution may require the institutions referred to in Articles L. 511-22 and L. 511-23 to send it periodic reports containing all necessary information on the activities of their branch.
The Autorité de contrôle prudentiel et de résolution also ensures compliance with the rules of good conduct of the banking profession.
It exercises over these institutions the powers of control and sanction defined in sections 5 to 7 of Chapter II. The deregistration provided for in 7° of Article L. 612-39, in 5° of A of I of Article L. 612-40 and in the first paragraph of Article L. 312-5 is understood to mean that the institution is prohibited from continuing to provide banking services in the territory of the French Republic.
When an institution referred to in Articles L. 511-22 and L. 511-23 has had its authorisation withdrawn or has been wound up or, in the case of a financial institution, no longer meets the required conditions within the meaning of Article L. 511-23, the Autorité de contrôle prudentiel et de résolution shall take the necessary measures to prevent it from commencing new operations in the territory of the French Republic and to ensure the protection of depositors’ interests.
A decree of the Conseil d’Etat shall determine the procedures to be followed by the Autorité de contrôle prudentiel et de résolution in exercising the responsibilities and powers conferred on it by the preceding paragraphs. In particular, it shall determine the procedures for informing the competent authorities referred to in Article L. 511-21 and for referring matters to the European Banking Authority.
