Article L2212-6 of the French Public Health Code

In the event of confirmation, the doctor or midwife may personally perform the termination of pregnancy under the conditions set out in the second paragraph of Article L. 2212-2. If they do not perform the procedure themselves, they will return the woman’s request to the doctor or midwife chosen by her and issue her with a certificate stating that they have complied with articles L. 2212-3 and L. 2212-5.

The director of the health establishment to which a woman applies for admission with a view to a voluntary interruption of pregnancy must obtain and keep for at least one year the certificates proving that she has complied with the consultations prescribed in articles L. 2212-3 to L. 2212-5.
