Article L712-2 of the French Commercial code

An objectives and performance contract between the State, represented by the responsible minister, and CCI France sets out the priority missions of the network of chambers of commerce and industry financed by the chamber tax. This contract of objectives and performance contains quantified activity, performance and results indicators tailored to the priorities set.

Agreements on objectives and resources concluded between the State, the regional chambers of commerce and industry and CCI France are drawn up in accordance with this national contract. Their annual results are consolidated by CCI France.

This contract and these agreements serve as a basis for the allocation of the tax for the costs of chambers as provided for in articles L. 711-8 and L. 711-16. Failure to comply with the measures provided for in the contract of objectives and performance, which are set out in the agreements of objectives and means, may justify a variation in the amount of the tax for chamber fees.

A Conseil d’Etat decree specifies the conditions under which this contract and these agreements are concluded.

Original in French 🇫🇷
Article L712-2

Un contrat d’objectifs et de performance associant l’Etat, représenté par le ministre de tutelle, et CCI France fixe notamment les missions prioritaires du réseau des chambres de commerce et d’industrie financées par la taxe pour frais de chambres. Ce contrat d’objectifs et de performance contient des indicateurs d’activité, de performance et de résultats quantifiés adaptés aux priorités retenues.


Des conventions d’objectifs et de moyens conclues entre l’Etat, les chambres de commerce et d’industrie de région et CCI France sont établies en conformité avec ce contrat national. Leur bilan annuel est consolidé par CCI France.


Ce contrat et ces conventions servent de base à la répartition de la taxe pour frais de chambres telle que prévue aux articles L. 711-8 et L. 711-16. Le non-respect des mesures prévues dans le contrat d’objectifs et de performance qui sont déclinées dans les conventions d’objectifs et de moyens peut justifier une modulation du montant de la taxe pour frais de chambres.


Un décret en Conseil d’Etat précise les conditions dans lesquelles sont conclues ce contrat et ces conventions.
