Article R4154-5 of the French Labour Code

The authorisation of the Regional Director of Enterprise, Competition, Consumer Affairs, Labour and Employment is deemed to have been granted if no response has been notified to the employer within one month.

The employer’s appeal against any decision to reject the application must be sent by registered letter with acknowledgement of receipt to the Regional Director of Enterprise, Competition, Consumer Affairs, Labour and Employment, who will give a ruling within one month of receipt of the application.

If the Regional Director remains silent within one month, the request is deemed to have been accepted.

L’autorisation du directeur régional des entreprises, de la concurrence, de la consommation, du travail et de l’emploi est réputée acquise si aucune réponse n’a été notifiée à l’employeur dans le délai d’un mois.


Le recours de l’employeur contre toute décision de rejet est adressé, par lettre recommandée avec avis de réception, au directeur régional des entreprises, de la concurrence, de la consommation, du travail et de l’emploi, qui statue dans un délai d’un mois à compter de la réception de la demande.


Le silence gardé par le directeur régional dans un délai d’un mois vaut acceptation de la demande.
