Publicity is carried out by the registration or entry of the acts and data of the persons liable in the G.E.MI., the simultaneous publication of these acts on the website of the G.E.MI. either in whole or in part of the acts requiring commercial publicity.

Constitutive publicity (Article 93):

The publication of the acts of the N.P. is mandatory in order to acquire legal personality, to effect the amendment of the articles of association, to carry out the merger, division, or transformation into another corporate transformation without prejudice to the provisions of Law 4601 /2019 or other more specific law, the dissolution of the company following a decision of the partners or the adoption of a relevant administrative act, the liquidation or revival of the liquidation of the company, or revival of the N.P., the loss of legal personality with the registration of the deletion of the debtor.

Legal Consequence of Publicity (Article 94)

Non-reproducible legal consequences

The persons referred to in Article 86 may not bring to the attention of third parties information about which the publicity formalities were not complied with unless they prove that the third parties were aware of it, hence a rebuttable presumption in favour of the P.P.s and N.P.s.

In the event of a discrepancy between the published text and the facts and acts relied on by the parties, the published text prevails, again allowing them to rebut it by proving the knowledge of third parties.

In the event of a discrepancy between the date of publication and the date of registration, the date of publication and not the date of registration of the acts shall be taken into account for the depreciation periods, in the context of compliance with and fulfilment of the principle of publicity.
