(23) Union credit institutions undertake credit servicing activities as part of their normal business. They have the same obligations with regard to credit agreements that they have issued themselves as those purchased from another credit institution. Since they are already regulated and supervised, application of this Directive to their credit servicing or purchasing activities would mean unnecessary duplication of authorisation and compliance costs and therefore they are not covered by this Directive. The outsourcing by credit institutions of credit servicing activities, in relation to both performing and non-performing credit agreements, to credit servicers or to other third parties, is also outside the scope of this Directive because credit institutions are already required to observe the applicable outsourcing rules. Moreover, creditors that are non-credit institutions but are nevertheless supervised by a competent authority of a Member State in accordance with Directive 2008/48/EC or with Directive 2014/17/EU and undertake credit servicing activities for credits granted to consumers as part of their normal business are not covered by this Directive when performing credit servicing activities in that Member State. Furthermore, alternative investment fund managers, management companies and investment companies (provided that an investment company has not designated a management company) authorised or registered under Directive 2009/65/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council Directive 2009/65/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 13 July 2009 on the coordination of laws, regulations and administrative provisions relating to undertakings for collective investment in transferable securities (UCITS) (OJ L 302, 17.11.2009, p. 32). or Directive 2011/61/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council 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 (OJ L 174, 1.7.2011, p. 1). should also not fall within the scope of this Directive. Finally, there are some professions that undertake ancillary activities similar to credit servicing activities as part of their profession, namely public notaries, lawyers and bailiffs that pursue their professional activities under national law, and that implement the enforcement of binding measures and, therefore, Member States should be able to exempt those professions from the application of this Directive.
