I.-When the registration application includes all the documents defined in article R. 211-20, the registration commission mentioned in article L. 141-2 issues a receipt which it communicates to the applicant.
The commission has one month from the date of the receipt to:
-proceed with registration when it is clear from examination of the file that the application complies with the provisions of II of article L. 211-18. The Commission notifies the travel operator of a registration certificate showing his registration number and the date of registration;
-refuse registration by means of a decision that it communicates to the applicant, when it emerges from the examination of the complete file that the application for registration does not comply with the provisions of II of article L. 211-18.
Registration is deemed to have been granted in the absence of notification of the Commission’s decision within the period provided for in the second paragraph. The Commission is then required to issue a registration number without delay.
II – In cases where the receipt has been issued or sent in accordance with the provisions of article R. 123-10 of the French Commercial Code , the period provided for in I may be interrupted if, in view of the applicant’s particular situation, the documents attached to the file do not enable the application for registration to be processed.
The date on which the time limit is interrupted is the date of the letter sent by the registration committee referred to in article L. 141-2 to the applicant or his representative, by any means that allows an acknowledgement of receipt to be obtained, informing them of the need to attach to their file the documents required to examine their application and of the time limit within which these documents must be sent to them.
On receipt of the requested documents, the Commission will issue a new receipt and the registration application will be processed in accordance with paragraphs two and following of I.
If the additional documents requested are not produced within the time limit set by the Commission, it will return the file to the applicant and expressly inform the latter that if he wishes to be registered, he must submit a new application accompanied by all the documents indicated to him.
III – If the application for registration is incomplete, the Registration Committee referred to in article L. 141-2 will send the applicant a letter, by any means that allows an acknowledgement of receipt to be obtained, indicating the missing documents that must be produced within fifteen working days of receipt of this letter.
On receipt of the requested documents, the Commission will issue a receipt and the application for registration will be processed in accordance with I.
If the additional documents requested have not been produced by the end of the period indicated in the Commission’s letter, the Commission will return the file to the applicant and expressly inform the latter that, if he wishes to be registered, he must submit a new application accompanied by all the documents indicated to him.
IV-Travel operators shall inform the Registration Commission mentioned in Article L. 141-2 of any change in the information provided for in Article R. 211-20, and in particular of any cessation of activity.
