Article 91a 6.

Where the heads of internal control functions and the chief financial officer do not fulfil at all times the criteria and requirements set out in paragraph 1, Member States shall ensure that competent authorities have the necessary powers to:

(a) 

in the case of ex ante assessment, prevent such heads or officer from taking up the position or remove them from the position;

(b) 

in the case of ex post assessment, remove such heads or officer, or require the entity to remove them from the position;

(c) 

require the entities concerned to take additional appropriate measures to ensure that such heads or officer are or become suitable for the position concerned.

As soon as any new facts or other circumstances that could affect the suitability of the heads of internal control functions and the chief financial officer become known, the entities referred to in paragraph 5 shall reassess the suitability of those heads and that officer, and shall inform without undue delay the competent authority thereof.

Where the competent authority becomes aware that the relevant information concerning the suitability of the heads of internal control functions and the chief financial officer has changed and such change could affect the suitability of the heads or of the officer concerned, the competent authority shall reassess their suitability.

Competent authorities shall not be required to reassess the suitability of such heads or officer when their contract is renewed or extended, unless relevant information that is known to competent authorities has changed and such change could affect the suitability of the heads or officer concerned.

At least with respect to the appointment of those heads of internal control functions and that chief financial officer for positions in the entities referred to in paragraph 5, competent authorities shall duly consider setting a maximum period for concluding the suitability assessment. That maximum period may be extended, where appropriate.
