The feeder UCITS shall not invest in units of the master UCITS until such agreement has become effective.
2.In its audit report, the auditor of the feeder UCITS shall take into account the audit report of the master UCITS. If the feeder and the master UCITS have different accounting years, the auditor of the master UCITS shall make an ad hoc report on the closing date of the feeder UCITS.
The auditor of the feeder UCITS shall, in particular, report on any irregularities revealed in the audit report of the master UCITS and on their impact on the feeder UCITS.

Such compliance shall not give rise to any liability on the part of such auditor or any person acting on its behalf.
