How to refer to the Commission for Compensation of Economic Loss

The Prince's Government has established a Monegasque Commission for Compensation of Potential Economic Loss (CIPE) in order to compensate professionals located in the immediate proximity of public works sites.

This commission processes applications and, if necessary, draws up a proposition for compensation that is then submitted to the government for approval.

The state does not bear responsibility for loss of earnings caused by changes to general traffic circulation as a result of modifications to public road surfaces (changes to traffic management plans, diversion of traffic flow, cancellation of bus lines or stops, widening or narrowing of pavements, creation of pedestrian zones, etc.).

The state, on whose behalf the works are carried out, bears responsibility if the following conditions are met:

• There must be an actual and measurable loss
• The loss must be the direct result of the works carried out
• The loss must adversely affect a legally protected status
• There must be a specific loss
• There must be extraordinary loss
• Compensation is only awarded for losses where the reality and amount have been proven
