This notice invites interested organisations and persons to make their observations known. It indicates the place where the collective agreement for the sector has been filed and the department to which comments are to be submitted.
The organisations and persons concerned have fifteen days from publication of the notice to submit their observations.
The approval decision is published in the Official Journal of the French Republic.
