Article L5211-56 of the French General Code of Local Authorities

Without prejudice to the provisions specific to metropolises, urban communities and conurbation communities, when a public establishment of inter-municipal cooperation provides a service on behalf of a local authority, another public establishment of inter-municipal cooperation or a mixed syndicate, the related expenditure is recorded in a budget annexed to the budget referred to in articles L. 5212-18 to L. 5212-21, L. 5214-23, or L. 5216-8 as appropriate. The revenues of the annexed budget include the proceeds of the fees or taxes corresponding to the service provided and the contributions of the local authority or establishment for the benefit of which the service is provided.

These provisions do not apply to the carrying out of an investment on behalf of a local authority or another public establishment for inter-municipal cooperation, which is recorded in the budget and accounts as an operation under mandate. In this case, a public establishment for inter-municipal cooperation that is simultaneously carrying out investments of the same nature on behalf of several public authorities or public establishments for inter-municipal cooperation may award a single public contract.

Article L5211-56

Sans préjudice des dispositions propres aux métropoles, aux communautés urbaines et aux communautés d’agglomération, lorsqu’un établissement public de coopération intercommunale assure une prestation de services pour le compte d’une collectivité, d’un autre établissement public de coopération intercommunale ou d’un syndicat mixte, les dépenses afférentes sont retracées dans un budget annexe au budget visé aux articles L. 5212-18 à L. 5212-21, L. 5214-23, ou L. 5216-8 selon le cas. Les recettes du budget annexe comprennent le produit des redevances ou taxes correspondant au service assuré et les contributions de la collectivité ou de l’établissement au bénéfice duquel la prestation est assurée.

Ces dispositions ne s’appliquent pas à la réalisation d’un investissement pour le compte d’une collectivité ou d’un autre établissement public de coopération intercommunale, qui est retracée budgétairement et comptablement comme opération sous mandat. Dans ce cas, l’établissement public de coopération intercommunale qui assure la réalisation simultanée d’investissements de même nature pour le compte de plusieurs collectivités ou établissements publics de coopération intercommunale peut passer un seul marché public.
