If, in the course of the investigation, he considers that the facts justify the initiation of sanction proceedings, the rapporteur notifies the objections to the accused party, who may consult the file and submit his observations within a period of one month following notification. A copy of the notification is sent to the Chairman of the Centre national du cinéma et de l’image animée.
Except in cases where the communication or consultation of these documents is necessary for the exercise of the defendant’s rights of defence, the rapporteur may refuse to communicate or consult documents or certain elements contained in these documents involving the business secrecy of other persons. In this case, a non-confidential version and a summary of the documents or elements in question shall be made available to him.
