Question 10996 — local authorities

Summary

Mr. Jean-Louis Masson draws the attention of the Minister of Territorial Cohesion to the organization of the State within the framework of decentralization. Indeed, it is clear that, despite waves of decentralization, the State tends to never really abandon a competence. The consequence of this unfortunate habit is the existence of duplication between the central administration and the local authorities. This lack of clarity in the distribution of missions generates additional costs and affects the effectiveness of public action. This confusion of roles also creates a loss of meaning among state agents. The recent Cap 2022 report commissioned by the Government recommends completing the decentralization of skills which already fall to local authorities. He suggests eliminating the departmental directorates of social cohesion or yet to transfer educational orientation to the regions. It also recommends increasing the prerogatives of the regions, particularly in the areas of rail transport, housing and energy. This is why he asks him to please clarify the analysis he is making of the current situation and whether he intends to follow the recommendations of the Cap 2022 report.
