Where an institution mentioned in Article L. 370-1 of the Insurance Code and offering the operations mentioned in Articles L. 3334-1 to L. 3334-9 and L. 3334-11 to L. 3334-16 of the Labour Code has breached one of the provisions mentioned in the second paragraph of Article L. 370-2 of the Insurance Code, the Autorité des marchés financiers, on its own initiative or following a referral from the competent authorities, shall immediately notify the competent authority of the State in which the institution is authorised of the infringement and request it, in cooperation with the supervisory authority, to take the necessary measures to put an end to the infringement.
If, two months after this notification, the infringement persists, the AMF may initiate sanction proceedings against the institution in accordance with the procedures set out in Article L. 621-15. The penalties applicable are those referred to in Article L. 621-15 (III, a).
The AMF may decide to postpone its decision to initiate sanction proceedings until it has given the institution a period in which to take all measures necessary to put an end to the infringement.
