It defines covered activities such as credit business, payment services, trading, and asset management, while explicitly excluding non-financial activities like physical transport, collection, and accessory services. The document further details the criteria for professional activity, territorial applicability, and specific exclusions for intra-group transactions and certain leasing arrangements.
