The representatives of the shareholder local authorities or their groupings may be relieved of their duties at any time by the meeting that appointed them, which is obliged to simultaneously provide for their replacement and to inform the Board of Directors or the Supervisory Board.
In the event of a vacancy in the seat allocated to it on the Board of Directors or the Supervisory Board, the deliberative assembly of the shareholder local authority or grouping appoints its representative at the first meeting following the vacancy. However, between meetings of the regional council or the departmental council, the standing committee of the regional council or that of the departmental council may provisionally appoint a new representative.
In the event of the dissolution of the deliberative assembly of a shareholder local authority or grouping, the resignation of all its members or the definitive annulment of the election of all its members, the term of office of its representatives on the board of directors or supervisory board is extended until their replacements are appointed by the new assembly.
