If it is found that the authorised issuer does not comply with the provisions set out in 1° of Article D. 1271-13, authorisation may be suspended or withdrawn by decision of the Minister responsible for personal services, after obtaining the opinion of the Banque de France.
Before suspending or withdrawing authorisation, the Minister responsible for personal services notifies the authorised issuer of its intention by registered letter with acknowledgement of receipt, and invites it to make its observations known. The issuer has fifteen days from the date of receipt of this notification to make its comments.
The decision to suspend or withdraw an issuer’s authorisation is published in the Official Bulletin of the Ministry responsible for services and on the website of the Minister responsible for personal services.
