Points of attention

• At the top of the menu, for steps 2 and 3, the text "The file is incomplete" is followed by a link "Why?" This link gives you access, at any time, to the list of pages for which the elements transmitted (data, document(s)) are not complete.
• Any modification (data, files...) must be made before April, 23th 2024 at 11 am (Paris Time) otherwise it will not be taken into account. In other words: do not do anything at the last minute.
