Article R422-3 of the French Insurance Code

The guarantee fund is subject to supervision by the Minister responsible for insurance, who appoints a Government Commissioner to supervise the overall management of the fund on his behalf. The Government Commissioner may attend all meetings of the Board of Directors or the committees set up by the Board. He may ask to see all the books and accounting documents.

Decisions taken by the Board of Directors or by the authorities to which it delegates powers are enforceable within fifteen days of the date of the decision if the Government Commissioner does not indicate either that he approves immediately or that he opposes the decision. However, the above time limit is reduced to five days for decisions not involving a financial commitment for the fund.

Original in French 🇫🇷
Article R422-3

Le fonds de garantie est soumis au contrôle du ministre chargé des assurances qui nomme un commissaire du Gouvernement pour exercer en son nom un contrôle sur l’ensemble de la gestion du fonds. Le commissaire du Gouvernement peut assister à toutes les réunions du conseil d’administration ou des comités institués par ce conseil. Il peut se faire présenter tous les livres et documents comptables.

Les décisions prises par le conseil d’administration ou par les autorités auxquelles il accorde délégation sont exécutoires dans un délai de quinze jours à dater de la décision si le commissaire du Gouvernement ne signifie pas, soit qu’il approuve immédiatement, soit qu’il s’oppose à la décision. Toutefois, le délai ci-dessus est ramené à cinq jours en ce qui concerne les décisions ne comportant pas un engagement financier pour le fonds.
