Where, for substantiated reasons, it is not possible to make the notification before that change takes effect, it shall be made within 10 working days after the change has occurred.

3.   An APA or an ARM shall record the information set out in paragraph 1 in a medium which enables its storage in a way that ensures that the information is accessible for future reference and which allows for the unchanged reproduction of the information stored.

5.   Where the proof referred to in paragraph 1, point (d), contains information on other criminal convictions than those listed in that provision, an APA or an ARM shall ensure that only persons responsible for the assessment of the suitability of the members of the management body have access to that information. That information shall be stored separately from other information regarding a member of the management body. Access to that information shall be recorded. That information shall not be stored where it concerns candidate members of the management body that have not been appointed.

6.   ESMA or, where relevant, the national competent authority shall keep the information set out in paragraph 1, points (d) and (e), for no longer than five years after the concerned member of the management body has ceased to perform its function.
