Question 12346 — elected officials

Summary

Mr. Christophe Arend draws the attention of the Minister, to the Minister for Europe and Foreign Affairs, responsible for European affairs, to the absence of cross-border recognition of the status of local elected officials and the difficulties which result from this for these local elected officials. Aware of the fundamental role of local elected officials in the life of the city and in the exercise of democracy, the legislator has gradually adapted the status of local elected officials in order to to enable him to reconcile the constraints of professional life with the exercise of an elective function. Although this right is applicable at national level, it is not recognized at European level. There is neither automatic cross-border recognition of the status of local elected officials, nor European status. Today, the problem is particularly important in the Grand Est where more than a hundred are affected by this situation. There Minister responsible for European Affairs reminded the Senate on February 13, 2018 of the Government's determination to limit the negative consequences. She also affirmed that the resolution of this problem will go through bilateral agreements with Germany and Luxembourg. Following the absence of concrete solutions, he would like to have information on the progress of the negotiations and the effective implementation of this harmonization of the status of the local elected official, being a cross-border worker.
