A GIE is an Economic Interest Group. It is a legal entity according to the French Law. The GIE ALBATROS is administered by an unique administrator, elected from among the founding members which is nominated for three years. Since 2021, it is the company SOCOMORE embodied by Bernard LE TURDU (CTO).

In addition to its administrative tasks, the administrator must
