Common partner

In France, the statute of common partner was instituted by the law of the July 16th 1971 on fusions and common regroupings of , called “Law Marcellin”. It allows communes removed during a fusion to preserve some characteristics:

a Mayor delegated, officer of registry office and Judiciary police officer, and likely to receive certain delegations of the mayor;
a Town hall appendix, which is in particular responsible for the acts of registry office;
a section of the Communal center of social action;
an electoral section .

A fusion of communes during which common partners are created is described as fusion-association (or fusion complexes ), in opposition to the simple fusion .

Many common partners

Common partners to January 1st: number and variation

At January 1st 2006, there were 730 common partners in France.

The majority of these common partners were created in the 4 years which followed the law Marcellin. Thereafter, their number fell under the effect of two combined tendencies:

in certain cases, the transformation of fusion-association into simple fusion (which removes the common partner completely);
in other cases, the “défusion” (which restores the common partner like commune with whole share). Thus the three communes of the Paddle having for names Bercenay-le-Hayer, Bourdenay and Trancault amalgamated on January 1st, 1973 in Valley-in Orvin, for défusionner on January 1st, 2000 with the profit of an other type of association (created in 1992), the Communauté of communes of Orvin and Ardusson (extended to additional communes).
