Question 15705 — road transport

Summary

Mr. Marc de Fleurian draws the attention of the Minister of Transport to the behavior of certain foreign heavy goods vehicle drivers, tempted to evade the eco-taxes implemented in Germany or Switzerland - for example - by using French border roads without the intention of delivering their goods to France, where the national eco-tax has been suspended in its application. This transfer of traffic on roads French companies not only have a cost linked to the maintenance of the network, but can only aggravate the nuisances due to pollution and traffic safety. It is important to find a solution because along the national roads and even more so the departmental roads, the small villages crossed are faced with road insecurity and significant nuisances. The establishment of a regional ecotax exclusively affecting heavy goods vehicles registered abroad is currently not authorized by European law. The implementation of an eco-tax on all heavy goods vehicles, including French ones, would weigh on the competitiveness of national wholesalers and distributors, with a particularly strong mechanical inflationary effect on essential products. Faced with this situation, he asks what measures the Government intends to implement to control the detours through France of European heavy goods vehicles whose aim is to avoid ecotaxes in countries bordering France.
