Art. 27 Disclosure office
(Art. 123, 124 FinMIA) 1 Stock exchanges have a dedicated office (disclosure office) for monitoring the duty of notification and publication. The disclosure office also processes requests for a preliminary ruling (Art. 21) and for exceptions and easing provisions (Art. 26). 2 If the establishment of such an office proves excessive, this role may be transferred to another stock exchange; the regulations governing the cooperation must be submitted to FINMA for approval. 3 The disclosure offices keep the public informed of their activities. They may issue communications and regulations and publish information required to fulfil the purpose of the law in an appropriate format. As a rule, recommendations are published in anonymous form. 4 The disclosure offices may request adequate compensation for any duties commissioned by FINMA and for processing requests. The rates must be submitted to FINMA for approval. |
