The activity of sports agent may be exercised on national territory, under the conditions set out in articles L. 222-5 to L. 222-22, by nationals of a Member State of the European Union or of a State party to the Agreement on the European Economic Area:
1° When they are qualified to practise in one of the States mentioned in the first paragraph of this article in which the profession or training of sports agent is regulated ;
2° Or if, over the previous ten years, they have practised the profession of sports agent for at least one year on a full-time basis or for an equivalent total period on a part-time basis in one of the States mentioned in the first paragraph in which neither the profession nor the training of sports agents is regulated and they hold one or more attestations of competence or evidence of formal qualifications issued by the competent authority of their home State.
A Conseil d’Etat decree sets the conditions governing the exercise of the activity of sports agent by nationals of the European Union or of a State party to the Agreement on the European Economic Area wishing to establish themselves on national territory, where there is a substantial difference in level between the qualification of which the interested parties avail themselves and the requirements for obtaining the licence referred to in article L. 222-7.
Sports agents may also be employed on a temporary and occasional basis by nationals legally established in a Member State of the European Union or in a State party to the Agreement on the European Economic Area in compliance with article L. 222-11. However, where neither the activity concerned nor the training enabling it to be practised is regulated in the Member State of establishment, its nationals must have practised it for at least one year on a full-time basis or on a part-time basis for an equivalent total period, during the ten years prior to practising it on national territory.
Nationals of a Member State of the European Union or of a State party to the Agreement on the European Economic Area must, prior to exercising the activity of sports agent on national territory, including on a temporary and occasional basis, make a declaration to the relevant delegating federation in accordance with the procedures defined by decree of the Conseil d’Etat.
