Question 13751 — unions

Summary

Mr. Michel Sala questions the Minister of Agriculture and Food Sovereignty on the preparation of the professional agricultural elections which will take place at the beginning of 2025. These determine the representativeness of each agricultural union in the chambers of agriculture and in other bodies such as rural lease courts, land development and rural establishment companies (Safer) and commissions. Departmental Agricultural Orientation Boards (CDOA). To date, solidarity contributors affiliated to the work accident and occupational illness insurance for farmers (ATEXA) are recognized as active farmers without having the right to vote in this professional ballot. On this subject, the MP would like to know the follow-up given by the Government to the response it gave to Ms. Corinne Imbert, senator of Charente-Maritime on June 28, 2018: "If the choice not to expand the electoral body of the college of heads of operations and equivalents of the chambers of agriculture to these contributors has been recorded, it is proposed to continue the reflection, from the start of the next mandate, to assess to what extent and under what conditions the solidarity contributors could have a right to vote for the elections of members of the chambers of agriculture”. The Government would consider modifying the criteria for distributing funding for agricultural organizations to the detriment of minority structures. This would be an unprecedented democratic step backwards as parliamentary reports and the Court of Auditors have pointed out significant inequity in this area. The MP is concerned about these changes which would lead to a weakening of representativeness union in the agricultural world when, on the contrary, it is necessary to integrate the approximately 100,000 contributors into the electoral base of this election. The MP also regrets the disengagement of the Ministry of Agriculture which would entrust the organization of these elections to a service provider. He would like to know what the Ministry of Agriculture plans to implement in the coming months to guarantee the full exercise of the democracy in the professional agricultural elections of 2025.
