1. Suspension of all activities that should lead to the formal establishment of the said Centre ;
2. Submission to Parliament of a bill relating the decree of 9 December 2015;
3. Decree relating the appointment of the Director General of the Centre.

All measures taken or authorizations in connection with the establishment of the Centre are therefore null and void."
