Article L4221-19 of the French Public Health Code

In addition to the company’s articles of association and any amendments thereto, pharmacists practising within a company must forward to the council of the professional body to which they belong any agreements or amendments relating to its operation, or to the relationship between partners and, where they exist, between partners and parties involved in financing the pharmacy or medical biology laboratory.

These documents must be communicated within one month of the conclusion of the agreement or amendment.

Contractual provisions which are incompatible with the rules of the profession or which are likely to deprive the contracting parties of their professional independence make them liable to the disciplinary sanctions provided for in article L. 4234-6.

Ces documents doivent être communiqués dans le mois suivant la conclusion de la convention ou de l’avenant.

Les dispositions contractuelles incompatibles avec les règles de la profession ou susceptibles de priver les cocontractants de leur indépendance professionnelle les rendent passibles des sanctions disciplinaires prévues à l’article L. 4234-6.
