Key legal question
Whether Swiss banking assistance to Finansinspektionen was admissible under Art. 38 BEHG
Extracted holding
Yes. Finansinspektionen is a securities supervisory authority entitled to receive assistance, and its confidentiality/use assurances were sufficient.
Extracted reasoning
There was no reason to doubt the foreign authority's assurances; the EBK could presume compliance absent contrary proof. Prior correspondence and practice supported the safeguard against misuse.
