Question 16203 — municipalities

Summary

Mr. Jean-Jacques Gaultier questions the Minister of Agriculture and Food about a measure applicable in July 2019, which consists of having the ONF collect revenues from local timber sales. These revenues should be returned to the municipalities within a period of up to 3 months. The National Federation of Municipalities considers that this measure will in no way reduce the structural financial deficits of the ONF and that it will affect the cash flow of municipalities already penalized by the reduction in jobs in the territorial units, a reduction which is contrary to the commitments contained in the objectives and performance contract (COP) for 2016-2020, signed by the State, the municipalities and the ONF. Considering that this procedure imposed on the municipalities, against the advice of the forest municipalities and in the absence of a real legal and economic analysis and considering that the only interest is, it seems, that the municipalities contribute to compensating for the dysfunctions of the ONF, he asks it if it is currently very appropriate, to dispossess even temporarily, 11,000 rural municipalities of the few revenues which allow them to invest today in their infrastructures and in their territory and if the time has not come to begin a reflection of complete transformation of the modalities of the management of public forests.
