Question 1357 — road safety

Summary

Mr. Aurélien Le Coq questions the Minister of the Interior about the refusal by the National Interministerial Observatory for Road Safety (Onisr) and the Ministry of the Interior to provide access to figures detailing refusals to comply in France. In an article published on September 18, 2023, the newspaper Libération reported on the difficulties it had had in obtaining details of the refusals to comply recorded by the police. September 9 2022, several journalists sent an email to Onisr to ask how many of these offenses had been recorded between 2012 and 2022 by the various departments and administrations of the ministry. The request was motivated by the fact that Onisr writes on its website that the total number of refusals to comply, which it publishes each year, is calculated based on feedback from four distinct sources: the management of the national gendarmerie, the central direction of republican security companies, the central direction of public security and the Paris police headquarters. Despite numerous reminders, this request remained without any response for a year. Seized on October 11, 2022, the Commission for Access to Administrative Documents (Cada) rendered a decision on the following November 24, issuing a favorable opinion on the request. THE The Ministry of the Interior has, once again, not responded. It was only after a formal notice and a threat of trial, by the newspaper's lawyer, that the Onisr finally responded to the legitimate requests, on August 24, 2023. The email from the general secretary of the Onisr specified that “not being a producer of the data and not having access to these databases to verify that the information is exhaustive, it did not seem suitable to [him] to transmit this information in place of the data producers”. However, the annual publication of figures by Onisr is based on these same data and is not accompanied by any warning of this type on the incompleteness of the data. Almost a year of waiting to get a painting. Nothing that threatens public order, nothing that is prejudicial to the privacy or security of citizens and ministry agents, nothing that harm to state security or fundamental interests, reasons often given by the administration to refuse to communicate information. Questioned by the same journalists to know the reasons for refusing to transmit this simple table, ONISR and the Ministry of the Interior once again refused to respond. From then on, the MP takes over: he asks him why you did everything not to transmit these few figures in defiance of the decision of the Cada, of good information to the population and of the transparency of public action.
