When a syndicate of communes is included in its entirety within the perimeter of a community of communes called upon to exercise all the competences of this public establishment, or when the perimeter of the community of communes coincides with that of a pre-existing syndicate of communes, the latter is dissolved ipso jure.
The decree establishing the community of communes, or modifying its perimeter or competencies, records the dissolution of the pre-existing public establishment of intercommunal cooperation and determines, subject to the rights of third parties, the conditions of this liquidation.
