🇬🇧 English

This decree formally approves the standardized (model) statutes that each professional section of the CNAVPL (Caisse Nationale d'Assurance Vieillesse des Professions Libérales) must adopt. These sections manage the basic old-age insurance scheme for liberal professionals on behalf of the national fund, including contribution collection, benefit liquidation and payment, and administrative operations. The statutes detail the composition and election of the board of directors (with separate representation for contributors and beneficiaries), the six-year renewable mandates, strict eligibility and integrity requirements, rules for board meetings, voting procedures, and confidentiality obligations. They also specify how the sections handle complementary retirement, disability-death, and supplementary benefit schemes.
