The Commission must not provide copies of statements made by any person in answer to a question put by or before the Commission that might tend to incriminate the person, unless the recognised overseas regulator gives a written undertaking—
- that it will not use such statements as evidence—
- in criminal proceedings against the person (other than in proceedings in respect of the falsity of the person's testimony); or
- in proceedings against the person for a pecuniary penalty or any equivalent proceedings; and
- in criminal proceedings against the person (other than in proceedings in respect of the falsity of the person's testimony); or
- that, to the extent that it is within the ability of the overseas regulator to do so, it will ensure that such statements are not used by any other person, authority, or agency as evidence in proceedings referred to in paragraph (a).
