The administrative authority shall notify the employer of the validation decision within fifteen days of receipt of the collective agreement referred to inarticle L. 1237-19.
It shall notify, within the same timeframe, the social and economic committee, if any, and the signatories of the agreement. The decision taken by the administrative authority shall state the reasons on which it is based.
If the administrative authority remains silent at the end of the period provided for in the first paragraph, this constitutes a decision to accept validation. In this case, the employer sends a copy of the request for validation, together with its acknowledgement of receipt by the administration, to the social and economic committee, if any, and to the signatories of the agreement.
Employees are informed of the validation decision or, failing this, of the documents mentioned in the third paragraph and of the channels and deadlines for appeals by means of posters in their workplaces or by any other means enabling this information to be given a definite date.
