EU · MiFID II · TITLE II AUTHORISATION AND OPERATING CONDITIONS FOR INVESTMENT FIRMS · CHAPTER I Conditions and procedures for authorisation
Article 6 MiFID IIScope of authorisation
The authorisation must specify the investment services and activities a firm may provide, and may cover ancillary services, but never ancillary services alone; firms must apply to extend it to new services. Authorisation is valid throughout the EU, allowing firms to passport through branches or cross-border services.
