The employees of the national institution, who are entrusted with a public service mission, are governed by the present code under the specific conditions laid down by an extended collective agreement approved by the ministers responsible for employment and the budget. This agreement includes the stipulations, in particular with regard to job stability and protection against external influences, necessary for the fulfilment of this mission.
The rules relating to collective labour relations set out in the second part of this code apply to all employees of the institution, subject to the guarantees justified by the particular situation of those who remain under contract under public law. These guarantees are defined by decree in the Conseil d’Etat.
