The exemptions referred to in article L. 3335-4 are the subject of annual orders issued by the mayor of the municipality in which the public house whose temporary opening is requested is located.
Applications for dispensation are only admissible if they are submitted by the sports federations or groups entitled to them at least three months before the date of the planned event. These requests must specify the date and nature of the events for which an exemption is sought.
However, in the case of an exceptional event, the mayor may grant an exemption in the light of a request sent at least fifteen days before the planned date of the event.
