Fejn istituzzjoni tal-flus elettroniċi ma tkunx ikkompletat perijodu suffiċjenti ta’ negozju, dak ir-rekwiżit għandu jiġi valutat abbażi tal-flus elettroniċi pendenti mbassra mill-pjan kummerċjali tagħha bil-kondizzjoni li kull aġġustament għal dak il-pjan ikun rikjest mill-awtoritajiet kompetenti.

4.  L-Istati Membri jistgħu jipprovdu wkoll li kwalunkwe persuna ġuridika iskritta skont il-paragrafu 1 tista’ tinvolvi ruħha biss f’xi wħud mill-attivitajiet elenkati fl-Artikolu 6(1).

5.  Il-persuni ġuridiċi msemmijin fil-paragrafu 1 għandhom:

(a) jinnotifikaw lill-awtoritajiet kompetenti bi kwalunkwe bidla fil-qagħda tagħhom li tkun relevanti għall-kondizzjonijiet speċifikat fil-paragrafu 1; u

(b) mill-anqas darba kull sena f’data speċifikata mill-awtoritajiet kompetenti tirrapporta dwar il-medja ta’ flus elettroniċi pendenti.

6.  L-Istati Membri għandhom jieħdu l-passi meħtieġa sabiex jiżguraw li fejn il-kondizzjonijiet tal-paragrafi 1, 2 u 4 ma jiġux sodisfatti aktar, il-persuni ġuridiċi għandhom ifittxu l-awtorizzazzjoni fi żmien 30 jum kalendarju skont l-Artikolu 3. Kwalunkwe minn dawn il-persuni li ma fittxewx l-awtorizzazzjoni fiż-żmien imsemmi għandhom jiġi pprojbit lilhom, skont l-Artikolu 10, li jemettu flus elettroniċi.

7.  L-Istati Membri għandhom jiżguraw li l-awtoritajiet kompetenti jkunu mogħtijin setgħa biżżejjed biex jivverifikaw l-ottemperanza kontinwa mar-rekwiżiti skont dan l-Artikolu.

8.  Dan l-Artikolu m’għandux japplika fir-rigward tad-dispożizzjonijiet tad-Direttiva 2005/60/KE jew tad-dispożizzjonijiet nazzjonali ta’ kontra l-ħasil tal-flus.

9.  Jekk Stat Membru javvalixxi ruħu mill-eżoneru dispost fil-paragrafu 1, għandu jinnotifika lill-Kummissjoni b’dan sat-30 ta’ April 2011. L-Istat Membru għandu jinnotifika lill-Kummissjoni minnufih bi kwalunkwe bidla sussegwenti. Inoltre, l-Istat Membru għandu jinforma lill-Kummissjoni bil-għadd ta’ persuni ġuridiċi kkonċernati u, fuq bażi annwa, bl-ammont totali ta’ flus elettroniċi pendenti emessi mill-31 ta’ Diċembru ta’ kull sena kalendarja, kif imsemmi fil-paragrafu 1.
