Section 3: Joint committees

The Minister for Labour may, in application of Article L. 2261-20, call a joint committee meeting.

In the event of a dispute over the size of the delegations making up the joint committee, the Minister responsible for labour may set the maximum number of representatives per organisation in the summons.

If an organisation does not send an authorised representative to the joint committee convened in application of article L. 2261-20, a new invitation is sent to it within one month by registered letter with acknowledgement of receipt or by notification delivered against receipt.

If, following the registered letter or the notification referred to in Article D. 2261-11, the organisation fails, without legitimate reason, to comply with the new summons sent to it, the Minister responsible for labour or his representative, who chairs the joint committee, will draw up a report and send it to the public prosecutor.
