Article R1114-9 of the French Public Health Code

National approval may be granted by the Minister for Health to associations which have either at least 5,000 individually paid-up members, or individually paid-up members spread over at least four regions, none of which represents more than 50% of the total number of members. Mayotte, Guyane and Martinique are considered as regions for the application of these provisions. In the case of unions of associations, the number of members of the associations that make them up is taken into account.

National approval may also be granted to associations that demonstrate the national nature of their activity.

Associations which do not meet the conditions mentioned in the first two paragraphs may be approved at regional level by the Director General of the Regional Health Agency of each region in which they carry out their activities.

Article R1114-9

Peuvent faire l’objet d’un agrément national, délivré par le ministre chargé de la santé, les associations qui justifient soit d’au moins 5 000 membres cotisant individuellement, soit de membres cotisant individuellement répartis sur au moins quatre régions, dont aucune ne représente plus de 50 % du nombre total de membres. Mayotte, la Guyane et la Martinique sont considérées comme des régions pour l’application de ces dispositions. Dans le cas des unions d’associations, il est tenu compte du nombre de membres des associations qui les composent.

Peuvent également faire l’objet d’un agrément national les associations qui démontrent le caractère national de leur activité.

Les associations qui ne remplissent pas les conditions mentionnées aux deux premiers alinéas peuvent être agréées au niveau régional par le directeur général de l’agence régionale de santé de chaque région dans laquelle elles exercent leur activité.
