Kernrechtsfrage
Whether international administrative assistance to BaFin was permissible in principle.
Extrahierter Entscheid
Yes. BaFin qualifies as a foreign financial-market supervisory authority, and the request satisfied the statutory requirements for securities supervisory assistance.
Extrahierte Begründung
The request concerned supervision of securities trading; BaFin undertook to use the information only for that purpose, and the decision contained the necessary specialty safeguards.
