1° Three commercial court clerks appointed on the proposal of the Conseil national des greffiers des tribunaux de commerce; they may not sit when they are personally interested;
2° Two members of the profession to which the candidate wishes to enter, in active service or honorary, appointed on the proposal of their national representative body.
The chairman, chosen from among the three members who are commercial court clerks, and the other members of the commission are appointed for three years, by order of the Minister of Justice. Alternate members are appointed in equal numbers under the same conditions. If one of the members ceases to hold office for any reason whatsoever, he or she is replaced for the remainder of the term.
The commission's secretariat is provided by a civil servant from the Ministry of Justice. The committee's headquarters are at the Ministry of Justice.
The committee meets when convened by its chairman. Its deliberations are valid only if, in addition to the chairman, at least one commercial court clerk is present as well as a representative of the profession concerned by the request for exemption. Decisions are taken by majority vote. In the event of a tie, the chairman has the casting vote.
