When the members of the classification committee unanimously propose that a visa be issued authorising cinematographic representation for all audiences without a warning, or when only one of them proposes the warning provided for in article R. 211-13 or one of the specific performance bans provided for in article R. 211-12, the chairman of the classification committee mentioned in Article R. 211-29 decides, in the light of the report, whether to include the work or document on the classification committee’s agenda, or to forward the report, which it approves, to the Minister for Culture.
When the majority of the members of the classification committee propose that a visa be issued authorising cinematographic representation for all audiences accompanied by a warning, the chairman of the classification committee places the work or document on the committee’s agenda. However, when the person requesting the visa expressly declares that he or she accepts the proposal of the classification committee, the chairman of the classification committee forwards the report, which he or she endorses, to the Minister for Culture.
If at least two of the members of the classification committee propose a specific performance ban, with or without a warning, or refusal of the visa, the chairman of the classification committee places the work or document on the committee’s agenda.
In cases other than those mentioned in the previous paragraphs, the chairman of the classification committee is required to include the work or document on the committee’s agenda.
The chairman of the classification committee may ask the classification committee to carry out a new screening or any verification it deems necessary.
