Article L3661-9 of the French General Code of Local Authorities

When the investment section or the operating section of the budget includes either programme authorisations and payment appropriations, or commitment authorisations and payment appropriations, the President of the Metropolitan Lyon Council may, until the budget is adopted or until it is settled in the event that the budget is not adopted, liquidate and mandate investment expenditure and operating expenditure corresponding to the authorisations opened during previous financial years, up to an amount of payment appropriations per chapter equal to one third of the authorisations opened during the previous financial year. The corresponding appropriations are entered in the budget when it is adopted or settled. The accounting officer is entitled to pay mandates issued under these conditions.

Lorsque la section d’investissement ou la section de fonctionnement du budget comporte soit des autorisations de programme et des crédits de paiement, soit des autorisations d’engagement et des crédits de paiement, le président du conseil de la métropole de Lyon peut, jusqu’à l’adoption du budget ou jusqu’à son règlement en cas de non-adoption du budget, liquider et mandater les dépenses d’investissement et les dépenses de fonctionnement correspondant aux autorisations ouvertes au cours des exercices antérieurs, dans la limite d’un montant de crédits de paiement par chapitre égal au tiers des autorisations ouvertes au cours de l’exercice précédent. Les crédits correspondants sont inscrits au budget lors de son adoption ou de son règlement. Le comptable est en droit de payer les mandats émis dans ces conditions.
