The final version of the "emergency draft bill to deal with the COVID-19 epidemic" ("projet de loi d'urgence pour faire face à l'épidémie de COVID-19"), following the work of the joint parliamentary committee, was definitively approved on 22 March 2020.
As a reminder, the first draft (commented in Gide's Client Alert dated 20 March 2020) was presented to the Council of Ministers on 18th March 2020 by Prime Minister Édouard Philippe.
The Government is authorized to issue by way of ordinance, within three months of the publication of the law, provisional measures of economic emergency, as detailed in the draft bill.
Several amendments to the Government's text have been made since our previous newsletter:
