Question 16831 — building and public works

Summary

Ms. Constance de Pélichy draws the attention of the Minister Delegate to the Minister of the Economy, Finance and Industrial, Energy and Digital Sovereignty, responsible for industry, to the situation of the quarrying and construction materials industries, particularly affected by the lasting crisis in the construction sector. Representatives of this sector emphasize that their companies, mainly made up of SMEs and VSEs, have for several years suffered a marked decline in their activity, combined with a sharp increase in their production costs, linked in particular to the evolution of the taxation applicable to non-road diesel (NGR), to the expenses incurred in favor of decarbonization, to extended producer responsibility (EPR) as well as to various regulatory constraints. They also believe that the devices support measures put in place for construction and public works companies, in particular those relating to the end of the advantages linked to RNG and the prospects for electrification of machines, do not benefit, or only in a very limited way, the industries producing aggregates, concrete and construction materials, even though technological alternatives for certain heavy equipment remain today little available. Sector stakeholders are also warning of the consequences that a lasting weakening of this industrial fabric could have, particularly in rural areas where these companies constitute major employers and ensure a local supply of materials essential to infrastructure and construction. Consequently, she asks him what are the reasons which led to excluding the quarry and construction materials industries of the support schemes granted to the construction industry, whether the Government plans to develop these schemes in order to guarantee equal treatment between the different construction sectors facing comparable difficulties and what specific measures it intends to take to support the energy transition and preserve the competitiveness of these companies.
