When an entity governed by French law submits a request to the Minister for an opinion as to whether all or part of the activity of this entity falls within the scope of I of Article L. 151-3, the Minister for the Economy shall respond within two months.
Under the same conditions, an investor may, with the agreement of the entity carrying out the activities covered by the investment, submit the same request to the Minister. In this case, a copy of the opinion given to the investor is sent to the entity carrying out the activities covered by the investment.
