Question 16444 — consular chambers

Summary

Mr. Frédéric Falcon alerts the Minister of the Economy, Finance and Industrial and Digital Sovereignty to the drastic drop in allocations allocated to consular chambers. The consular chambers bring together the chambers of commerce and industry (CCI), the chambers of trades and crafts (CMA) and the chambers of agriculture. These state public establishments were created to support entrepreneurs. They have, between others, with the mission of looking after the interests of businesses and contributing to the economic development of territories. The finance law for the year 2024 ratified a reduction in resources for the CMAs and even a levy on the treasury of the CCIs. It aims to “draw the consequences of the transfers of skills implemented during the previous five-year term and encourage the chambers to intensify their efficiency”, according to the Ministry of the economy in its budget documents. However, “our public funding has already been reduced by more than 60% in 10 years, requiring a 40% reduction in staff,” notes Alain Di Crescenzo, president of CCI France. In the context of the economic crisis that the country is going through, providing the means for VSEs and SMEs to create, develop, perpetuate and transmit remains fundamental for the French economy. Mr. Deputy wishes to alert the Minister of the Economy as well as the Minister Delegate in charge of small and medium-sized enterprises, commerce, crafts and tourism, of the harmful consequences of this reduction in allocations which he considers counterproductive for the maintenance of the local economic network that only VSEs and SMEs support. He wants to know his position on the subject.
