The national commission draws up a proposal for the settlement of transfers. This proposal is sent by the prefect to the department, the commune or public establishment for inter-communal cooperation and the departmental fire and rescue service concerned. The parties may submit any comments to the prefect in writing within two months of the date of transmission of the proposal.
For staff transfers, the territorial employment authorities convene the competent joint bodies within the same timeframe to obtain their opinion on the proposed settlement. This opinion is communicated to the prefect.
The prefect forwards these opinions and observations to the chairman of the national commission.
