    Article 61(1) of Directive 2011/61/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 8 June 2011 on Alternative Investment Fund Managers and amending Directives 2003/41/EC and 2009/65/EC and Regulations (EC) No 1060/2009 and (EU) No 1095/2010

    must be interpreted as meaning that:

    the Member States were under an obligation to require alternative investment fund managers (AIFMs) performing activities under that directive before 22 July 2013 to comply fully with the obligations relating to remuneration policies and practices stemming from Article 13(1) of that directive from the date on which their authorisation was obtained, provided that they had submitted an application for authorisation within one year from 22 July 2013.
