Question 6720 — public ceremonies and legal holidays

Summary

Decree No. 89-655 of September 13, 1989 relating to public ceremonies, precedences, civil and military honors determines the list of authorities having protocol rank and provides, in article 13, that “ranks and precedences are not delegated”. Furthermore, wreath laying is reserved for public authorities as well as veterans' organizations. If no text formally prohibits a public authority from delegate to another public authority the laying of a wreath, the spirit of the texts and the ceremonies do not open up this possibility. Therefore, a municipal councilor cannot lay a wreath on behalf of an impeded deputy during a public ceremony.

Machine translation from French. The official text remains authoritative.
