This decision formally delegates signature authority to named directors and service chiefs within INSEE's regional and interregional offices across France. Annex 1 lists the 17 regional/interregional directors, almost all holding the title of Statistician-Economist Engineer. Annex 2 and Annex 3 name dozens of additional officials responsible for specific services such as resource administration, statistical services, studies and dissemination, and territorial services, including their exact locations (e.g., Lyon, Rennes, Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines). The measure ensures operational continuity and legal validity of administrative acts signed by these designated civil servants in their respective territories and functional areas.
