Question 13487 — employment and activity

Summary

Mr. Maurice Leroy draws the attention of the Minister of Agriculture and Food to the exemption system for the employment of “casual agricultural job seekers” (TO-DE). The Government is in fact considering the abolition of this system from January 1, 2019. This abolition would have a very harmful financial impact on farmers. Professionals in the sector believe that this measure would represent an increase in the remainder payable by employers from 1.8% to 3.8%, or 189 euros loss per month per employer. In Loir-et-Cher, agricultural sectors that are highly labor intensive, such as viticulture, livestock farming and market gardening, will be particularly penalized by the removal of this exemption and will see a significant worsening of the distortion of competition in an already very weakened sector. The exemption for the employment of TO-DEs made it possible to effectively combat hidden work, and to maintain the competitiveness of French farms. He asks him to maintain the exemption system for the employment of TO-DE, in order to defend farms and the French agricultural model.
