🇬🇧 English

This French decree details mandatory disclosure rules for influencers and commercial influencers promoting publicly funded skills development and professional training programs. When promoting such actions, influencers must clearly state that the program is publicly financed and mention associated eligibility rules and commitments. They must also disclose the official name, legal business name (dénomination sociale), and SIREN identification number of the certified training provider responsible for the action, as well as any subcontractor involved. These disclosures must be clearly distinguishable from the promotional message itself. For video or image-based content, the required information must remain visible for at least 90% of the video duration inside a dedicated horizontal banner occupying at least 7% of the advertising surface. In audio or radio promotions, the information must be spoken immediately after the promotional message. An implementing order will later specify exact presentation formats per medium.
