Any operator of a cinematographic entertainment establishment who intends to set up a formula for access to the cinema giving the right to multiple admissions in a number not defined in advance must request prior approval from the President of the Centre national du cinéma et de l’image animée. Substantial modification of the package is also subject to prior approval.
Approval is granted if the conditions set out in articles L. 212-28 to L. 212-30 are met.
The details of the application for approval, the duration and the procedures for issuing and withdrawing approval are set by decree in the Conseil d’Etat after consultation with the Autorité de la concurrence.
