🇬🇧 English

This French administrative decision, dated 31 March 2026 and published 2 April 2026, formally delegates the power to sign official acts on behalf of the Minister of the Interior to numerous named officials within the Directorate of Public Freedoms and Legal Affairs. It establishes a clear hierarchical chain of signature authority covering areas such as religious affairs and secularism, administrative policing, associations and foundations, data protection, identity protection, legal disputes, and financial/purchasing matters. Specific monetary thresholds appear, notably limiting certain litigation-related financial decisions to claims not exceeding 40,000 euros. The text details exact titles, reporting lines, and the precise scope of authority for each delegate, ranging from broad signing powers down to narrowly defined actions such as issuing non-opposition decisions under the 1905 law on separation of church and state.
