When a local authority or group of local authorities has granted its guarantee for loans contracted by a local semi-public company, it has the right, provided that it is not a shareholder directly represented on the board of directors or supervisory board, to be represented at the local semi-public company by a special delegate appointed from among its members by the deliberative assembly of the local authority or group.
The special delegate must be heard, at his request, by all the company’s management bodies. His observations shall be recorded in the minutes of the meetings of the Board of Directors or the Supervisory Board.
The delegate may audit the books and accounting documents and ensure the accuracy of their entries.
The delegate reports on his mandate under the same conditions as those provided for representatives on the board of directors by the fourteenth paragraph of article L. 1524-5.
The same provisions apply to local authorities and groups of local authorities that hold bonds of the companies mentioned in the second paragraph of Article L. 2253-2.
