Alternate members, equal in number to the representatives of employers and professional journalists, are appointed and elected simultaneously and under the same conditions as the full members.
One of the alternates for the employers’ representatives is appointed on behalf of private-sector audiovisual communication companies by the professional organisations representing these companies.
In the event of disagreement between the organisations mentioned in the first paragraph of article R. 7111-21, the seat in dispute is filled by order of the Minister responsible for communication.
These representatives replace absent full members and, between two renewals, replace members who have died, resigned or ceased to be part of the committee as a result of death or any other cause.
Alternate members who do not replace a full member may be heard by the Committee before it deliberates.
