Question 15902 — weapons

Summary

Mr. Julien Rancoule draws the attention of the Minister for Europe and Foreign Affairs to the difficulties encountered by officers for the physical protection of persons authorized to carry a weapon in the exercise of their duties during their professional trips within the European Union. While close protection activity is subject to increased supervision in France, as evidenced by the publication by the CNAPS, in May 2025, a control framework dedicated to the physical protection of people, the professionals concerned continue to face difficulties when traveling within the European Union. Furthermore, if the European Firearms Card (CEAF) provided for by Directive (EU) 2021/555 was modernized and dematerialized in December 2023, its use remains limited to hunters, sports shooters and collectors, thus excluding professional close protection missions. In this context, he asks whether the Government plans to discuss with its European partners aimed at harmonizing the conditions of transport and carrying of service weapons of close protection agents legally authorized to exercise within the Member States of the European Union.
