PART IV SUPPLEMENTAL

Transitory provision
71. (1) This paragraph applies if in any member State (“the defaulting State”) the third general insurance Directive and the third long term insurance Directive are not fully or substantially implemented on or before the commencement date.
(2) Until such date (“the transitional date”) as those Directives are fully or substantially implemented in the defaulting State, the 1982 Act and the 1986 Act shall have effect in relation to an insurance company whose head office is in that State as if that State were an EFTA State rather than a member State.
(3) Regulation 69 above shall have effect in relation to an insurance company whose head office is in the defaulting State as if any reference to the commencement date were a reference to the transitional date.
