Question 17223 — woods and forests

Summary

Mr. Vincent Descoeur draws the attention of the Minister of Action and Public Accounts to the new methods of collecting revenues linked to the sales of wood from communities. On November 29, 2018, the board of directors of the ONF voted on the 2019 budget proposal which aims to allow the ONF to collect revenues from wood sales from the municipalities, before paying them back within a period of up to three months. Representatives of the National Federation of Forest Communes voted against and left the session. Indeed, the introduction of this measure is very badly received by mayors who rightly fear that deadlines will not be met and who do not accept being thus cut off from their direct relations with local businesses. Furthermore, while the forest municipalities have been waiting for a year to have details on This project, its implementation has accelerated with an implementing decree which should be published soon. Elected officials have very clearly expressed their opposition to this project and their firmness in the face of any attempt to continue the implementation of any tool in parallel. This therefore adds to the climate of degraded relationships and loss of trust. Also, he would like to know his position on the matter and asks that we reconsider this measure which would seriously affect the municipalities’ cash flow.
