#TECK2610935AConsultative Committees for Contract Staff at French Water Agencies
AI-generated summary for informational purposes only. Not legal advice. See the original source for the authoritative text.
The order sets the size and operating rules for consultative committees representing contract staff at France’s water agencies. These committees cover agencies including Adour-Garonne, Artois-Picardie, Loire-Bretagne, Rhin-Meuse, Rhône-Méditerranée et Corse, and Seine Normandie, with each committee made up of equal numbers of staff and administration representatives. For affected agencies and contract employees, the practical change is administrative: the order fixes how many representatives and substitutes sit on each committee, records the gender composition of the represented workforce as of 1 January 2026, and sets basic meeting rules. Each committee must meet at least once a year, keep minutes, adopt internal rules, and may be called to discuss matters within its remit.
