The reinsurer is required to inform the Autorité de contrôle prudentiel et de résolution of the conclusion or termination of such a treaty or of any amendment relating to the clause providing for the substitution of the reinsurer for the reinsured undertaking, two months before the treaty takes effect, or its termination, or the proposed amendments.
The reinsured entity must, within the two months preceding the effective date of the modification or termination:
-either provide evidence that it has concluded a new treaty to replace the terminated treaty ;
-apply for administrative approval and provide evidence that its financial situation offers sufficient guarantees to enable it to meet its commitments.
In the latter case, it may be authorised by the Autorité de contrôle prudentiel et de résolution to continue its operations on a provisional basis until a decision is taken on its application for authorisation.
If it is unable to provide one of the above justifications, its portfolio of contracts may be transferred to another organisation mentioned in this section under the conditions set out in Article L. 324-1.
Failing this, its operations may be terminated by decision of the Autorité de contrôle prudentiel et de résolution. The rules applicable for this purpose are those laid down by the regulations in force for the withdrawal of administrative authorisation.
The decision to terminate operations has the same effect as the decision to withdraw administrative authorisation.
