A decree of the Conseil d’Etat determines the conditions of incorporation of companies subject to State control by virtue of article L. 310-1 and 1° of III of article L. 310-1-1 and of supplementary professional retirement funds. It specifies the conditions under which the provisions of articles L. 210-1 et seq. of the Commercial Code and the laws governing public limited companies are applicable to these companies and funds. Special provisions take account of the non-commercial nature of mutual insurance companies.
The same decree sets out the obligations to which French and foreign companies are subject, the guarantees they must provide, the reserves and technical provisions they must establish, the general rules governing their operation, their internal control and the exercise of State control.
