No mission may be created from 1 January of the calendar year preceding the year of renewal of the territorial council.
The rules of procedure shall lay down the rules for submitting and examining the request for the establishment of the mission, its operating procedures, the procedures for its composition in compliance with the principle of proportional representation, the duration of the mission, which may not exceed six months from the date of the deliberation establishing it, and the conditions under which it shall submit its report to the members of the Territorial Council.
