Article R761-6 of the French Commercial code

If the financial operation of the market shows or is likely to show a serious imbalance, the prefect responsible for policing the market may give formal notice to the operator to take the necessary measures to restore equilibrium. He will inform the delegating public authorities or their groupings and, where applicable, the authorities that have guaranteed the loans contracted by the manager, as well as the regional council.

Where, on expiry of a period of three months from the date of receipt of the formal notice, the operator has not taken the necessary measures to restore the financial equilibrium of the market, the ministers responsible for trade and agriculture may make use of the powers provided for in the third paragraph of Article L. 761-3.

Original in French 🇫🇷
Article R761-6

Si l’exploitation financière du marché présente ou laisse prévoir un déséquilibre grave, le préfet chargé de la police du marché peut mettre le gestionnaire en demeure de prendre les mesures nécessaires au rétablissement de l’équilibre. Il en informe les collectivités publiques délégantes ou leurs groupements et, le cas échéant, les collectivités ayant garanti les emprunts contractés par le gestionnaire, ainsi que le conseil régional.

Lorsque, à l’expiration d’un délai de trois mois à compter de la date de réception de la mise en demeure, le gestionnaire n’a pas pris les mesures nécessaires au rétablissement de l’équilibre financier du marché, les ministres chargés du commerce et de l’agriculture peuvent faire usage des pouvoirs prévus au troisième alinéa de l’article L. 761-3.
