2.Any issuer that chooses to draw up a universal registration document every financial year shall submit it for approval to the competent authority of its home Member State in accordance with the procedure set out in Article 20(2) and (4).After the issuer has had a universal registration document approved by the competent authority for one financial year, subsequent universal registration documents may be filed with the competent authority without prior approval.Where the issuer thereafter fails to file a universal registration document for one financial year, the benefit of filing without prior approval shall be lost and all subsequent universal registration documents shall be submitted to the competent authority for approval until the condition set out in the second subparagraph is met again.The issuer shall indicate in its application to the competent authority whether the universal registration document is submitted for approval or filed without prior approval.Where the issuer referred to in the second subparagraph of this paragraph requests the notification of its universal registration document pursuant to Article 26, it shall submit its universal registration document for approval, including any amendments thereto which were previously filed.
