The Boards of Directors of the Caisses Régionales de Crédit Agricole Mutuel have powers over the administration and management of the local mutuals affiliated to them similar to those conferred by Article L. 512-38 on the central body of Crédit Agricole over the administration and management of the local mutuals. The election by the boards of directors of the local mutual agricultural credit cooperatives of their chairman, vice-chairmen and managing directors must be approved by the regional agricultural credit cooperative, as must the amount of compensation that may be awarded pursuant toarticle 6 of law no. 47-1775 of 10 September 1947 on the status of the cooperative.
However, the decisions of the Boards of Directors of the Regional Mutuals concerning the appointment of a committee responsible for the provisional management of a local mutual are final only after approval by the central body of Crédit Agricole.
