Question 12490 — security of property and people

Summary

Mr. Martial Saddier draws the attention of the Minister of State, Minister of the Interior, to the situation of volunteer firefighters. In a judgment of February 21, 2018, the Court of Justice of the European Union recognized the status of worker of a volunteer firefighter, within the meaning of European Directive 2003/88 EC of November 4, 2003 relating to working time. This decision is not without consequences for the approximately 195,000 volunteer firefighters of France, 2,761 of whom work in Haute-Savoie. Indeed, the application of this decision would call into question the volunteer model and would entail exorbitant costs for the local authorities in charge of departmental fire and rescue services. It would lead to the end of the 24-hour on-call regime for firefighters. Finally, it would inevitably deal a fatal blow to volunteering by imposing 11 hours of rest before resuming another work sequence. Also, he wishes to know the Government's position on this issue.
