This allowance is set by the national council after consultation with the central councils and is subject to annual review at its plenary session devoted to the budget. The amount of this allowance, granted for a purpose other than covering the expenses mentioned in the third paragraph of article L. 4233-5, may not exceed a total equal, per half-day of attendance, to 10% of the monthly ceiling provided for in the first paragraph of article L. 241-3 of the Social Security Code.
The annual amount of this allowance may not exceed, for the year in question, three times the annual ceiling provided for in the first paragraph of article L. 241-3 of the Social Security Code.
The lump sums and, where applicable, the procedures for distributing these allowances, are set out in the Order’s budgetary and accounting regulations provided for in article L. 4231-7 and published by the National Council.
