• a remuneration committee, which was also set up on 25th September 2013
• an appointments committee, which was set up on 27th November 2013

These committees are made up of Mrs Pascale AUGER and Mr Éric Pichet, both of whom are independent administrators. Mr Pichet presides over all 3 committees.
The committees meet fully independently, excluding the presence of directors.
