Rates drawn up by the operators of auction rooms, in order to fix the remuneration due for storage, handling, room hire, sales and generally for the various services that may be rendered to the public, shall be sent before the opening of the establishments, to the prefect and the territorial chamber of commerce and industry and the commercial court consulted on the application for authorisation.
