Question 16210 — public finances

Summary

Mr. Antoine Valentin draws the attention of the Minister of Action and Public Accounts to the real cost of organizing the G7 summit which was held in Évian-les-Bains from June 15 to 17, 2026, under the French presidency. The finance bill for 2026 included an envelope of 20 million euros for the logistical organization, preparatory diplomatic meetings and communication actions associated with the presidency French G7. This costing, retained in execution as a reference perimeter, does not, however, cover all of the real costs borne by the public authorities: it does not include the security costs assumed by the national and territorial law enforcement agencies, nor the interministerial coordination expenses, nor the possible additional costs incurred for the local authorities of the Lake Geneva region and the department of Haute-Savoie. It is recalled for comparison that the G7 summit in Biarritz, in August 2019, mobilized 13,200 police officers and gendarmes and generated a budget execution of 33.5 million euros on program 347 alone, to which was added additional compensation to traders to the tune of 1.4 million euros. The Court of Auditors had also noted the difficulty of tracing the costs in their entirety. security under other departmental programs. This same problem of budgetary clarity arises for the Evian summit, whose geographical location in the border zone generates specific costs for law enforcement, prefectural services and local authorities, without these amounts having been the subject of an official consolidated communication. As a deputy for the 3rd constituency of Haute-Savoie, directly concerned by the organization of this event and in view of the issues of budgetary transparency attached to the exercise of the French presidency of the G7, he asks it to please specify the real total cost of the organization of the G7 summit in Évian, distinguishing between expenses directly allocated to the program dedicated to the French presidency of the G7, security expenses relating to other ministerial programs (police national, national gendarmerie, army, internal intelligence), interministerial coordination expenses and institutional communication costs; the distribution of costs between the State and local authorities, specifying the nature and amount of the charges actually borne by the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region, the Haute-Savoie department, the Pays d'Évian-Vallée d'Abondance community of communes and the municipality of Évian-les-Bains, as well as the compensation or reimbursement mechanisms provided by the State for the benefit of these communities; the total payroll of state agents, civil servants and contract workers, assigned to the organization and running of the summit, distinguishing between staff from the sovereign ministries (interior, armies, foreign affairs) and staff from other administrations mobilized, as well as the payroll of local authority agents requisitioned or mobilized exceptionally as part of the summit; the net financial impact for the territory, presenting on the one hand the economic benefits measured or estimated for the local economic fabric (accommodation, catering, service providers, subcontractors) and on the other hand the losses of activity suffered by traders, craftsmen and liberal professions of the territory due to traffic restrictions and security perimeters, as well as the compensation schemes put in place or envisaged. He asks him, in particular, if a report on the net cost-benefit balance for the Haute-Savoie territory will be established and made public within six months following the end of the summit. He wants this information to be transmitted in a consolidated document allowing Parliament to fully exercise its right to review the real cost for national and local public finances of organizing a G7 summit on national territory. He wants to know his position on this subject.
