The Government, acting by means of a decree in the Council of State, authorises, on the basis of the fourth paragraph of Article 72 of the Constitution, local and regional authorities to derogate, on an experimental basis, from the regulatory provisions governing the exercise of their powers. This decree contains the details mentioned in article LO 1113-1.
Territorial authorities may decide to participate in the experimentation provided for by the decree mentioned in the preceding paragraph, under the conditions and according to the procedures defined in Article LO 1113-2. The decision taken in application of the first sentence of the present paragraph may be appealed to the representative of the State under the conditions laid down in article LO 1113-3. The acts of a territorial authority derogating from the regulatory provisions are subject to the regime defined in article LO 1113-4. The decree in Council of State referred to in the first paragraph specifies the procedures for evaluating the measures taken on the basis of the authorisation.
The Government shall send Parliament a report on the evaluations thus carried out.
The experiment may not be continued beyond the expiry of the period mentioned in the decree in Council of State which authorised it, if it has not been the subject, by decree in Council of State, of one of the measures provided for in the second to fourth paragraphs of Article LO 1113-6.
