Question 16988 — local authorities

Summary

Mr. Jean-Noël Barrot draws the attention of the Minister of the Interior to the conditions under which the State provides information to local authorities in the context of managing the accommodation of asylum seekers. Whatever the structure concerned (reception center for asylum seekers, emergency accommodation for asylum seekers, etc.), good prior information of local elected officials, and more particularly that of mayors, appears necessary to ensure the integration of this equipment in their territory. On December 4, 2017, in information relating to the evolution of the accommodation for asylum seekers and refugees, the Government recalled the importance it attached to these exchanges by inviting State services to “form partnerships with elected officials”. This principle complements the prior consultation with local elected officials provided for by Article L. 744-2 of the Code of Entry and Stay of Foreigners and the Right to Asylum, when establishing regional plans for the reception of asylum seekers and the integration of refugees. However, despite this regulatory provision and the intention recalled by the information of December 4, 2017, local elected officials regret being insufficiently involved or not being informed of the State's intentions. The mayor of a commune of Yvelines recently drew the attention of the MP to the unconcerted increase in the reception capacity of a migrant emergency accommodation center decided on the occasion of its transformation into emergency accommodation for asylum seekers. For this reason, he would like: to know if the Ministry of the Interior intends to remind State services of the importance given to the prior information of local elected officials, before any installation or modification of a center welcoming asylum seekers; know if, in addition to the consultation provided for in application of article L. 744-2 of the code of entry and stay of foreigners and the right to asylum, it is envisaged to adapt the regulations to formalize this obligation.
