\nPREAMBLE<\/h2>\n

The State, the Regional Council of Pays de la Loire, the Loire-Atlantique department and the Urban Community of Nantes, CNRS, INSERM, the university of Nantes, CRLCC, the Ecole des Mines of Nantes and the teaching hospital of Nantes have decided to jointly undertake a project consisting in setting up a high energy\/high intensity medical and radiochemical cyclotron in Nantes, hereafter \u201cthe cyclotron\u201d.<\/p>\n

Following the filing of the project in November 2001 and its favorable scientific assessment, officialized on 3 May 2002 by the Ministry responsible for research, a technical\/economic feasibility study, co-financed by the Regional Council and the State (the regional prefecture) and led by the teaching hospital of Nantes, confirmed its technical feasibility and more precisely assessed its investment and operating costs.<\/p>\n

When the project started, industrialists liable to use the cyclotron expressed their interest.<\/p>\n

On 18 December 2003 the project was approved by the inter-ministerial committee for territorial planning and development (CIADT), which specified that 28% (\u20ac8.4 million) of the investment of \u20ac30 million inclusive of tax for the construction of the cyclotron would be financed by the State, and the balance by the local authorities, after deduction of European financing raised under the single programming document (SPD) of the Pays de la Loire’s European Regional Development Fund (ERDF).<\/p>\n

The CIADT in particular approved the project on the basis of the financial commitments of some of the parties (cash and staff) for the operating phase.<\/p>\n

The project was then the subject of an amendment to the contract between the State and the Pays de la Loire region. This amendment dated 27 November 2003 includes an initial financial installment of \u20ac3 million out of the \u20ac8.4 million funded as part of the mid-term revision of the 2000-2006 CPER.<\/p>\n

By a decision of 9 July 2004, the President of the Regional Council of Pays de la Loire ratified and launched the project, which will be constructed on the north side of the teaching hospital of Nantes, on a plot provided by the said hospital under conditions set out in specific agreements.<\/p>\n

The final investment, estimated at \u20ac36.9 million, breaks down as follows:<\/p>\n

    The initial scientific leaders of the project are Messrs Jean-Fran\u00e7ois Chatal (PU-PH, university of Nantes), Jacques Martino (director of SUBATECH, UMR 6457 Mines Nantes, IN2P3 CNRS, university of Nantes) and Jacques Barbet (director of research at CNRS, UMR INSERM U601, university of Nantes). The University of Nantes is the legal entity named as project leader.<\/p>\n

    The project was divided into two main phases:<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. \u00a0the design and construction of the cyclotron (period known as design and construction), construction project ownership being entrusted to the Pays de la Loire Regional Council, in accordance with the contractual arrangements provided for by the law of 4 July 1990; after completion of the construction and the equipment, unrestricted ownership of this investment will be made over to the State;<\/li>\n
    2. operation of the cyclotron (operating period) to be entrusted to the university of Nantes or a legal entity formed for that purpose by the latter with its partners. That is the purpose of the grouping constituted by this document.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

       <\/p>\n

      In phase 1, the co-funding partners entered into a \u201cConvention concerning the ARRONAX cyclotron design and construction period in Nantes\u201d, to sign off the genesis of the cyclotron project as explained above, to support the main stages of its launch, and to lay down the general terms and conditions of their cooperation for implementation of the project. This convention in particular institutes a steering committee made up of ten partners tasked with examining all questions concerning the design, planning and implementation of the cyclotron, until the first meeting of the governing body of the cyclotron’s operating entity (namely the grouping constituted hereunder). Article 5 of this convention states that it expires with the first meeting of the governing body of the cyclotron’s operating entity.<\/p>\n

       <\/p>\n

      In parallel, the CNRS, INSERM, the university of Nantes, the CRLCC, the Mines Nantes and the teaching hospital of Nantes entered into a \u201cSpecial convention on the financing of the transitional period and the operating period of the ARRONAX cyclotron of Nantes\u201d. This convention lays down the financing principles of operation of the cyclotron (phase 2) and the measures required for start-up.<\/p>\n

       <\/p>\n

      At the meeting scheduled for 28 September 2007, the project’s steering committee, duly noting the businesslike conduct of the construction work on the cyclotron machine and the building that will house it, should accordingly decide to set up the entity that will operate these facilities in order to:<\/p>\n
