French General Code of Local Authorities
In forceThe syndicate committee comprises the mayor of the commune and elected members, the number of whom, which may be 4, 6, 8 or 10, is set by the order of the State representative in the department convening the electors.
The members of the trade union committee, chosen from among the members of the section, are elected in accordance with the rules laid down in Chapters I and II of Title IV of Book I of the Electoral Code, subject to the application of the provisions of the third paragraph of this article and those of article L. 2411-5. After each general renewal of the municipal councils, where half of the electors of the section or the municipal council send him a request to this end within six months of the installation of the municipal council, the representative of the State in the department convenes the electors of the section within three months of receipt of the request.
The members of the syndicate commission are elected for a term equal to that of the municipal council. However, the term of office of the syndicate commission expires when the syndicate commission is installed following the general renewal of the municipal councils. If, following this general renewal, the syndicate commission is not set up pursuant to the second paragraph of this article and article L. 2411-5, the term of office expires on the date set by the representative of the State in the département in the act by which he notes that the conditions for its constitution have not been met.
The members of the section are electors, where they are registered on the electoral rolls of the commune.
The mayors of the communes in whose territory the section owns property may attend the meetings of the syndicate commission. They are informed by the chairman of the syndicate commission of the dates and purpose of syndicate commission meetings.
The chairman is elected from among its members by the syndicate committee.
