The Group is managed by a director elected by the General Meeting from among the individuals or representatives of the legal entities that are members of the Group.
The director is an ex officio member of the Select Committee. He may be dismissed at any time by the General Meeting.
Directors are appointed free of charge for a fixed renewable term. However, mission allowances may be granted under the conditions determined by the General Meeting. If the director is self-employed, the General Meeting may also allocate a flat-rate allowance to take account of the reduction in professional activity justified by the performance of his duties.
The director prepares and implements the decisions of the General Meeting and, where applicable, the Select Committee.
He represents the group in all civil acts and may be a party to legal proceedings.
He implements the provisional budget or the budget according to the legal nature of the grouping adopted by the General Meeting. He is the authorising officer for income and expenditure when the grouping is subject to public accounting rules.
He informs all members and third parties contracting with the Group of decisions affecting their relationship with the Group.
A deputy director, elected under the same conditions as the director, replaces the director in all his functions when the director is unable to perform them and in the cases provided for in the Grouping’s founding agreement, where applicable until the appointment of a new director by the General Meeting under the conditions provided for in this article.
