2. obtained the authorisation by making false statements or by any other irregular means;
3. no longer meets the conditions under which authorisation was granted;
4. no longer complies with Directive 2006/49/EC if its authorisation also covers the discretionary portfolio management service referred to in point (a) of Article 6(4) of this Directive;
5. has seriously or systematically infringed the provisions adopted pursuant to this Directive; or
6. falls within any of the cases where national law, in respect of matters outside the scope of this Directive, provides for withdrawal.
