Article L146-3 of the French Commercial code

A framework agreement concluded between the principal and the managing agents to whom it is bound by a contract, or their representatives, sets in particular the amount of the minimum commission guaranteed in all managing-agent contracts concluded by the said principal. This minimum commission takes into account the size of the establishment and the way in which it is operated.

In the absence of an agreement, the Minister responsible for small and medium-sized enterprises sets this minimum commission.

Original in French

Article L146-3

Un accord-cadre conclu entre le mandant et les gérants-mandataires auxquels il est lié par un contrat, ou leurs représentants, fixe notamment le montant de la commission minimale garantie dans tous les contrats de gérance-mandat conclus par ledit mandant. Cette commission minimale tient compte de l’importance de l’établissement et des modalités de son exploitation.

A défaut d’accord, le ministre chargé des petites et moyennes entreprises fixe cette commission minimale.
