Question juridique clé
Whether Euronext Brussels qualifies as a foreign securities supervisory authority entitled to administrative assistance under Art. 38 para. 2 LBVM.
Solution extraite
Yes. Euronext Brussels had succeeded the former Brussels exchange authority and continued to exercise public supervisory powers; it could therefore be treated as a foreign supervisory authority for purposes of administrative assistance.
Motifs extraits
The court held that the change from SBVMB to Euronext Brussels did not remove the market-supervision function. Euronext Brussels took over the relevant public-law tasks and powers, so the private-law corporate form did not matter.
