If the European Company no longer has its central administration in France, any interested party may apply to the court to have the situation regularised by transferring the registered office or re-establishing the central administration at the place of the registered office in France, if necessary subject to a penalty payment.
The court shall set a maximum period for this regularisation.
Failing regularisation at the end of this period, the court shall order the liquidation of the company under the conditions provided for in Articles L. 237-1 to L. 237-31.
These decisions are sent by the court registry to the public prosecutor. The judge indicates in his decision that the judgment is forwarded by the court registry.
In the event of a finding that the central administration in France of a European Company registered in another Member State of the European Community has moved, contrary to Article 7 of the aforementioned Council Regulation (EC) No 2157/2001 of 8 October 2001, the public prosecutor of the judicial court within whose jurisdiction the central administration is located must inform the Member State of the registered office without delay.
If it is found that the central administration of a société européenne registered in France has been transferred to another Member State of the European Community in breach of Article 7 of Council Regulation (EC) no. 2157/2001 of 8 October 2001, cited above, the authorities of that Member State must immediately inform the public prosecutor of the judicial court within whose jurisdiction the company is registered.
