Before any decision is taken, the administrative authority informs the person concerned in writing of the penalty envisaged, informing them of the breach of which they are accused and inviting them to submit their observations within a period set by decree in the Conseil d’Etat.
At the end of this period, the administrative authority may, by reasoned decision, impose the fine and issue the corresponding collection order.
It informs the Social and Economic Committee of this decision.
The limitation period for action by the administrative authority to impose an administrative fine for non-compliance is two years from the day on which the non-compliance was committed.
