1.Subject to the third subparagraph, [F1the FCA] shall publish any decision imposing an administrative sanction or other administrative measure in relation to an infringement of this Regulation on [F2its website] immediately after the person subject to that decision has been informed of that decision. Such publication shall include at least information on the type and nature of the infringement and the identity of the person subject to the decision.
The first subparagraph does not apply to decisions imposing measures that are of an investigatory nature.
Where [F3the FCA] considers that the publication of the identity of the legal person subject to the decision, or of the personal data of a natural person, would be disproportionate following a case-by-case assessment conducted on the proportionality of the publication of such data, or where such publication would jeopardise an ongoing investigation or the stability of the financial markets, it shall do any of the following:
(a)defer publication of the decision until the reasons for that deferral cease to exist;
(b)publish the decision on an anonymous basis in accordance with [F4the law of the United Kingdom] where such publication ensures the effective protection of the personal data concerned;
(c)not publish the decision in the event that the [F5FCA] is of the opinion that publication in accordance with point (a) or (b) will be insufficient to ensure:
that the stability of financial markets is not jeopardised; or
the proportionality of the publication of such decisions with regard to measures which are deemed to be of a minor nature.
Where [F6the FCA] takes a decision to publish a decision on an anonymous basis as referred to in point (b) of the third subparagraph, it may postpone the publication of the relevant data for a reasonable period of time where it is foreseeable that the reasons for anonymous publication will cease to exist during that period.
2.Where the decision is subject to an appeal before a national judicial, administrative or other authority, [F7the FCA] shall also publish immediately on [F8its website] such information and any subsequent information on the outcome of such an appeal. Moreover, any decision annulling a decision subject to appeal shall also be published.
3.[F9The FCA] shall ensure that any decision that is published in accordance with this Article shall remain accessible on [F10its website] for a period of at least five years after its publication. Personal data contained in such publications shall be kept on the website of the [F11FCA] for the period which is necessary in accordance with the applicable data protection rules.
