French Commercial code
In forceThe decision is published anonymously in either of the following circumstances:
1° Where publication of the decision is likely to cause serious and disproportionate harm to the person sanctioned, in particular, in the case of a sanction imposed on a natural person, where publication includes personal data;
2° Where publication would be likely to seriously disrupt the stability of the financial system, as well as the conduct of an ongoing investigation or audit.
Publicity of a sanction issued pursuant to the provisions of Sections 3 to 6 of Chapter I of Title VI of Book V of the Monetary and Financial Code may be deferred until such time as the reasons for not publishing it cease to exist. The High Council may also decide not to publish the decision where anonymity is insufficient to ensure that the stability of the financial markets is not compromised or, where the measures concerned are deemed minor, to ensure that publication of the decision is proportionate.
When a sanction decision is appealed, the High Council, which is informed without delay, immediately publishes this information on its website.
The High Council shall without delay inform the body referred to in 2° of Article 30 of Regulation (EU) No 537/2014 of 16 April 2014 of temporary bans imposed pursuant to 3° of I and 2° of II of Article L. 824-2 as well as 1° of I of Article L. 824-3.
