５この法律又はこの法律に基づく命令の規定により、取引又は行為を行うことにつき許可若しくは承認を受け、又は届出をする義務が課されているときは、政令で定める場合を除き、当該許可若しくは承認を受けないで、又は当該届出をしないで当該取引又は行為に係る支払等をしてはならない。

In such a case, a recommendation under Article 23, paragraph (2) of the former Act or a notice under paragraph (4) of that Article (other than one in which the person notifies the minister of compliance with a recommendation as prescribed in paragraph (5) of that Article) is deemed not to have been made with regard to that capital transaction subject to advance examination under the former Act.

３前二項の規定は、施行日前に旧法第二十四条第二項の規定によりされた届出に係る資本取引でこの法律の施行の際現に行われていないものが、新法第二十四条第一項又は第二項の規定に基づく命令の規定により許可を受ける義務を課された同条第一項に規定する特定資本取引に該当するものである場合について準用する。

(3)The preceding two paragraphs apply mutatis mutandis if a capital transaction for which a notification has been filed pursuant to Article 24, paragraph (2) of the former Act before the effective date, but which has not yet been conducted as of the time this Act comes into effect, falls under the category of a specified capital transaction as prescribed in Article 24, paragraph (1) of the new Act for which persons have been placed under the obligation to get permission pursuant to an Order under paragraph (1) or (2) of that Article.

Article 6A special international financial transactions account established pursuant to Article 22, paragraph (2) of the former Act is deemed to be a special international financial transactions account as prescribed in Article 21, paragraph (3) of the new Act.

第七条旧法第十五条に規定する外国為替公認銀行又は両替商が施行日前に行った旧法の適用を受ける業務に係る同条の規定による報告については、なお従前の例による。
