The costs corresponding to the exercise of transferred powers are subject to an assessment prior to the transfer of said powers.
Any new burden falling on territorial authorities as a result of the State modifying, by regulation, the rules relating to the exercise of transferred powers is compensated under the conditions provided for in article L. 1614-1. However, this compensation only applies to that part of the cost which is not already compensated by the increase in the general decentralisation grant mentioned in article L. 1614-4.
