Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the OSC qualified as a foreign securities supervisory authority entitled to assistance under Art. 38(2) BEHG.
Decisione estratta
Yes. The OSC performs typical financial-market supervisory functions, so it is a qualifying foreign authority.
Motivazione estratta
The Court held that identical powers are not required; it is enough that the foreign authority pursues comparable supervisory tasks and uses the information for direct supervision.
