Question 14491 — industry

Summary

Mr. Jérôme Buisson draws the attention of the Minister Delegate to the Minister of the Economy, Finance and Industrial, Energy and Digital Sovereignty, responsible for industry, to the critical situation of manufacturers in the Plastics Valley in Ain, seriously affected by the economic consequences of the geopolitical crisis in the Middle East. While the conflict in Iran leads to a sharp rise in the prices of raw materials, essential to the production of plastic, companies in Plastics Vallée, which represent nearly 10,000 jobs and a turnover of several billion euros, are bearing the brunt of this crisis. Production costs are soaring, endangering the competitiveness and survival of hundreds of local businesses. Stocks, although constituted, will not be sufficient to absorb a prolonged shock and fears of shortage or job cuts are increasing among employees. This situation, described by professionals as the worst crisis in decades, threatens not only the economic balance of the region, but also French industrial sovereignty in a key sector. However, to date, no concrete measures have been announced to support companies facing this dependence on external supplies, nor to mitigate the social impact of a crisis that could get even worse. Manufacturers in the Plastics Valley, already faced with a dizzying increase in costs and persistent uncertainty over supplies, are awaiting clear answers: what actions does the Government intend to implement to secure supply chains, support companies' cash flow and preserve jobs in this sector essential? How does it intend to support the transition towards less dependence on imported raw materials, while guaranteeing the sustainability of a unique industrial ecosystem in Europe? This is why he calls on the immediate and structural measures that will be taken to respond to the social and economic emergency that the Plastics Valley is going through and to ensure the future of its employees and its businesses.
