If the activities of the sports association or the manner in which it pursues them fail to comply with the commitments set out in the Republican Commitment Contract it has signed, the Prefect of the département in which the association’s registered office is located will suspend or withdraw approval, depending on the seriousness of the breach.
Suspension will be for a period of six months. It may be terminated early if the association provides proof that it is once again complying with the Republican Commitment Contract. If, at the end of the suspension, the sports association has still not complied with the undertakings whose non-compliance justified the suspension, the Prefect of the département in which the association’s registered office is located will withdraw the authorisation.
The measures provided for in this article are taken after the sports association has been given the opportunity to present its observations.
