Paragraph 1 of Article 24b of Directive 80/390/EEC is hereby replaced by the following:
'1. Where application for admission to official listing in one or more Member States is made and the securities have been the subject of a public-offer prospectus drawn up and approved in any Member State in accordance with Article 7, 8 or 12 of Directive 89/298/EEC (*) in the three months preceding the application for admission, the public-offer prospectus shall be recognized, subject to any translation, as listing particulars in the Member State or States in which application for admission to official listing is made, without its being necessary to obtain the approval of the competent authorities of that Member State or those Member States and without their being able to require that additional information be included in the prospectus. The competent authorities may, however, require that the prospectus include information specific to the market of the country of admission concerning, in particular, the income tax system, the financial organizations retained to act as paying agents for the issuer in the country of admission and the ways in which notices to investors are published. (*) OJ No L 124, 5. 5. 1989, p. 8.'
