Article 189Providing Investigatory Cooperation to a Foreign Regulatory Authority for Financial Instruments

第百八十九条(外国金融商品取引規制当局に対する調査協力)

If the Prime Minister receives a request for cooperation from the foreign authority that is responsible for the enforcement of a foreign law or regulation that is equivalent to this Act (hereinafter referred to as a "foreign regulatory authority for financial instruments" in this Article) concerning an administrative investigation it conducts in order to enforce the laws and regulations under its jurisdiction, and the Prime Minister finds it to be appropriate to accommodate the request, the Prime Minister may order a person conducting a purchase and sale or other transaction of securities or a derivatives transaction with a person residing in the foreign country, or any other concerned party or witness, to report or submit materials that should serve as a reference, to the extent that is necessary and appropriate for accommodating the request.

内閣総理大臣は、この法律に相当する外国の法令を執行する当局(以下この条において「外国金融商品取引規制当局」という。)から、その所掌に属する当該この法律に相当する外国の法令を執行するために行う行政上の調査に関し、協力の要請があつた場合において、当該要請に応ずることが相当と認めるときは、当該要請に応ずるために必要かつ適当であると認められる範囲内において、当該外国にある者を相手方として有価証券の売買その他の取引若しくはデリバティブ取引を行う者その他関係人又は参考人に対して、参考となるべき報告又は資料の提出を命ずることができる。

The Prime Minister may not make the disposition referred to in the preceding paragraph in a case that falls under any of the following items:

内閣総理大臣は、次の各号のいずれかに該当する場合には、前項の規定による処分をすることができない。

the foreign regulatory authority for financial instruments has not given its assurance that the authority will accommodate similar requests from Japan;

我が国が行う同種の要請に応ずる旨の当該外国金融商品取引規制当局の保証がないとき。

it is found that if the disposition is made based on the request by the foreign regulatory authority for financial instruments, it is likely to have an adverse material impact on the capital market or to otherwise be detrimental to Japan's national interests; or

当該外国金融商品取引規制当局の要請に基づき当該処分をすることが我が国の資本市場に重大な悪影響を及ぼし、その他我が国の利益を害するおそれがあると認められるとき。

it is found that there is a risk of the report or materials submitted pursuant to the disposition under the preceding paragraph being used at the foreign regulatory authority for financial instruments other than for a purpose that contributes to the execution of its duties.

当該外国金融商品取引規制当局において、前項の規定による処分により提出された報告又は資料の内容が、その職務の遂行に資する目的以外の目的で使用されるおそれがあると認められるとき。

If the request for cooperation referred to in paragraph (1) is made for the purpose of an administrative disposition (limited to one that restricts the right of the person subject to the disposition or that imposes a duty on that person) by the foreign regulatory authority for financial instruments based on a foreign law or regulation that is equivalent to this Act, the Prime Minister is to consult with the Minister of Foreign Affairs before accommodating the request.

第一項の協力の要請が外国金融商品取引規制当局による当該この法律に相当する外国の法令に基づく行政処分(当該処分を受ける者の権利を制限し、又はこれに義務を課すものに限る。)を目的とする場合には、当該要請に応ずるに当たつて、内閣総理大臣は、外務大臣に協議するものとする。

Appropriate measures must be taken in respect of a report or materials submitted pursuant to a disposition under paragraph (1), to ensure that they will not be used for criminal proceedings conducted by a court or a judge in a foreign country.

第一項の規定による処分により提出された報告又は資料については、その内容が外国における裁判所又は裁判官の行う刑事手続に使用されないよう適切な措置がとられなければならない。

Necessary particulars relevant to the application of the provisions of the preceding paragraphs are specified by Cabinet Order.

前各項の規定の適用に関し必要な事項は、政令で定める。
