The president of the regional chamber of trades and crafts or, by delegation, the president of the departmental level chamber of trades and crafts verifies that the natural persons mentioned in 3° of Article L. 123-36 and the corporate officers of the legal entities referred to in 3° of the same article are not subject to the prohibition provided for in article L. 653-8 or the additional penalty of disqualification from engaging in a professional or social activity for a felony or misdemeanour as provided for in 11° de l’article 131-6 du code pénal. These prohibitions and penalties prevent the persons concerned from being registered in the national register of companies and, if they are already registered, may lead to their automatic removal from the register.
For the purpose of carrying out this control, the staff of the relevant chambers of trades and crafts, individually designated and specially authorised by the president of the chamber of trades and crafts to which they belong, may request the Conseil national des greffiers des tribunaux de commerce to provide information and personal data recorded in the automated national file of persons prohibited from managing businesses pursuant to Article L. 128-2, in order to be aware of any prohibition.
