Pending the finalization in the next few days of the administrative and technical formalities for the creation of this AMI, we would like to bring to your attention by this message the terms and conditions of eligibility that will be applied in New Aquitaine for this system, so that you can anticipate and plan as soon as possible the performance of these exercises within the establishments for which all the service providers on the market will be in high demand.

Eligibility conditions:
