Article 39 Establishment of a branch

1. A Member State may require that a third-country firm intending to provide investment services to clients[1] in its territory establishes a branch in that Member State.

2. If so, the branch must have the necessary regulatory authorisation in the relevant Member State including:

(a) Sufficient local recognition esp. re AML: The third-country firm is appropriately regulated for the services in question in its own jurisdiction, and its local regulator has anti-money laundering rules consistent with FATF recommendations[2];
(b) Information sharing between regulators: The third-country firm’s home regulator co-operates and shares information with competent authorities in the relevant Member State;
(c) Sufficient capitalisation: Sufficient initial capital is at free disposal of the branch;
(d) Responsible individuals: there is at least one responsible manager of the branch and all who are responsible complies with the requirement of Article 9(1);
(e) Tax sharing: The third-country firm’s home jurisdiction shares necessary tax information with the relevant Member State in compliance with Article 26 of the OECD Model Tax Convention on Income and on Capital ;
(f) Investor compensation schemes: The third-country firm belongs to an investor-compensation scheme recognised under the Investor Compensation Schemes Directive (97/9/EC (EUR Lex)).

3. The third-country firm applies to the competent authority in the relevant Member State.

  1. ↑ Strictly, retail clients or professional clients. Therefore ECPs are out of scope?
  2. ↑ The original sentence is a horror-show — this is a best guess at summarising it
