Article L2411-18 of the French General Code of Local Authorities

A union is created between the sections of the same commune, provided that their union commission has been set up, at the request of the town council or one or more sections, by concordant deliberations of the union commissions, which lay down the procedures for the management of property and the allocation of income.

The union of sections, a legal entity governed by public law, is administered by a committee comprising the mayor of the municipality and two elected representatives of each union committee. The committee elects its chairman from among its members.

The committee replaces the syndicate commissions in the areas provided for in articles L. 2411-6 and L. 2411-7, with the exception of sales, exchanges, acceptance of gifts and signature of contracts between sections of the commune.

The abolition of a union of sections is carried out in the same manner as its creation.

A section of a commune may withdraw from a union of sections under the conditions set out in Article L. 5211-19 for the withdrawal of a commune from a syndicate of communes.

Original in French 🇫🇷
Article L2411-18

Une union est créée entre les sections d’une même commune, sous réserve que leur commission syndicale ait été constituée, à la demande du conseil municipal ou d’une ou plusieurs sections, par délibérations concordantes des commissions syndicales, qui fixent les modalités de gestion des biens et d’attribution des revenus.

L’union de sections, personne morale de droit public, est administrée par un comité regroupant le maire de la commune ainsi que deux représentants élus de chaque commission syndicale. Le comité élit son président en son sein.

Le comité se substitue aux commissions syndicales dans les domaines prévus aux articles L. 2411-6 et L. 2411-7, à l’exception des ventes, échanges, acceptations de libéralités et signatures de contrats entre sections de la commune.

La suppression d’une union de sections est réalisée dans les mêmes formes que sa création.

Une section de commune peut se retirer d’une union de sections dans les conditions prévues à l’article L. 5211-19 pour le retrait d’une commune d’un syndicat de communes.
