The functions of president of the territorial council are incompatible with the functions of mayor, as well as with the exercise of any other non-elective public function.
The functions of president of the territorial council are also incompatible with those of member of the European Commission, member of the executive board of the European Central Bank or member of the monetary committee of the Banque de France.
The President of the Territorial Council who holds a position that places him or her in a situation of incompatibility provided for in the two preceding paragraphs shall cease to exercise his or her functions as President of the Territorial Council as a result.
