Quel statut pour l'expert ?

In the French administration, unlike its parallel in America, expertise exists in a culture where decision-making is centralized, confidential, and non-negotiated. This is evidenced in the status of the expert, who is both dependent on the administration and independent in carrying out his mission. Nonetheless, establishing a legal status for the expert would make it possible to define with greater precision his rights and obligations, his role in decision-making and above all his responsibilities, with a clear distinction between his and those of the administration.
