Question 12357 — employment and activity

Summary

Ms. Christine Pires Beaune draws the attention of the Minister of Agriculture and Food to the threats that would weigh on the exemption system for the employment of occasional agricultural workers (TO-DE). This system could be abolished by the Government on January 1, 2019. This measure would have a financial impact on farmers of between 144 and 178 million euros, applied to the seasonal payroll for 2016. The loss financial, for an employer with a seasonal contract for one month for a salary of 1.10 (SMIC + ICCP) would be 189 euros. On this basis, the overall loss recorded for farmers in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region, who registered 119,099 TODE contracts in 2016, would amount to 22.5 million euros per year. The general reduction in charges envisaged to replace the CICE will not compensate for the announced elimination of this exemption TODE. Sectors that heavily employ casual labor, in particular arboriculture, market gardening, horticulture, seed producers and viticulture, will be directly penalized, further degrading their competitiveness, even though France must face fierce competition from neighboring countries. Also, she asks him if the Government plans to sustainably compensate for this loss which threatens the relocation of agricultural production and the rapid decline of a sector of activity which employs 14% of French workers.
