However, they may deduct certain sums from the income to be distributed, corresponding in particular to their management costs, under the conditions laid down as part of the general policy defined by the general meeting of members.
These deductions must be justified in terms of the services rendered to rights holders.
The sums deducted as management fees may not exceed the justified costs incurred by the organisation for the management of the economic rights entrusted to it.
Where the income and receipts mentioned in 1° of Article L. 324-9 are received by the organisation under a performance agreement, only the amounts corresponding to management fees may be deducted from this income, unless the legal entity party to the performance agreement expressly authorises other deductions.
