The operator of a registered exhibition centre shall send, for each calendar year, the declaration of the annual programme of commercial events as defined in article R. 762-4 held in its park, to the prefect of the département in which the park is located, before 1st October of the year preceding the commercial events included in this programme.
The park operator declares the main characteristics of each commercial event, which it obtains from its organiser. The list of these characteristics is defined by an order of the minister responsible for trade. Where the event has been held previously, its quantified characteristics are certified under conditions set by order of the minister responsible for trade.
The declaration of the annual programme is sent by the exhibition park operator electronically.
It gives rise to the issue of an electronic acknowledgement of receipt. The prefect shall ensure that the transmission is carried out securely, in accordance with Article 1366 of the Civil Code. The park operator electronically sends a copy of this receipt to the organisers of the events covered by the annual declaration.
