What businesses in France should know
- French health data may be hosted only by HDS-certified providers inside the EEA. France requires providers that host health data to hold HDS certification. Under the revised framework, which applies to certifications and renewals since 17 November 2024, health data must be stored physically only in the European Economic Area. Hosting providers must publish on their website a map of any transfers outside the EEA. The CNIL is the national data protection authority. Hogan Lovells, French HDS certification · as of October 2026
- France has not yet formally named its AI Act supervisory authorities. As of mid 2026, France had missed the 2 August 2025 deadline to designate its AI Act authorities. The proposed model is decentralised: the DGCCRF coordinates market surveillance and is the single contact point, the DGE represents France at the EU AI Office, and the CNIL covers emotion recognition at work and in education. Formal designation depends on the DDADUE bill, still pending in Parliament. DLA Piper, AI Laws of the World, France · as of October 2026
- Mandatory B2B e-invoicing in France: receiving from 1 September 2026, issuing for SMEs from 1 September 2027. Since 1 September 2026, all businesses must be able to receive electronic invoices. Large and mid-size companies must also issue them from that date. Small and medium-sized companies and micro-enterprises must issue from 1 September 2027. Invoices must pass through a platform approved by the tax administration, so a plain PDF invoice no longer complies once the issuing duty applies. DGFiP (impots.gouv.fr), Fiche 1, update June 2026 · as of October 2026
What HR teams in France should know
- CSE must be consulted before deploying AI tools. Under Article L2312-8 of the Labor Code, the Comité Social et Économique (CSE) must be informed and consulted before an employer introduces new technology likely to affect employees. French courts have confirmed that deploying an AI tool counts as introducing new technology, which triggers this consultation duty. Article L2312-8 Code du travail, Ministère du Travail · as of September 2026
- Work documents must be in French. Article L1321-6 of the Labor Code requires any document containing obligations for an employee, or provisions needed to do the job, to be written in French. This includes internal policies about HR software and AI tools, unless the document comes from abroad or is meant for foreign staff. Article L1321-6 Code du travail, DREETS Normandie · as of September 2026
- EU AI Act high-risk employment duties postponed to December 2027. France applies the EU AI Act directly. Obligations for high-risk employment AI, covering recruitment, promotion, termination and monitoring, were due August 2, 2026, but were postponed to December 2, 2027, by the Digital Omnibus Regulation (EU) 2026/1744, in force since July 27, 2026. Verordnung (EU) 2026/1744, EUR-Lex · as of September 2026
