Question 17306 — State

Summary

Ms. Laurianne Rossi questions the Minister of the Economy and Finance on the compensation system for members of the Constitutional Council. While for more than forty years, members of the Constitutional Council benefited from a flat-rate tax exemption on half the amount of their compensation “for professional expenses”, this specific and unjustified tax regime ended in 2001 at the initiative of the president of the institution, Yves Guéna, by letter dated March 16, 2001 from the Secretary of State for the Budget, Ms. Florence Parly, addressed to him. In this letter, which was never published, the Secretary of State specified that “the ministerial decision of January 11, 1960 relating to the compensation of members of the Constitutional Council is repealed”. At the same time, the remuneration of the president and members of the Constitutional Council was specified from January 1, 2001: from now on, they respectively receive compensation fixed by reference to the compensation regime for senior civil servants whose jobs fall within the categories set out in Article 6 of Ordinance No. 58-1067 of November 7, 1958 relating to the organic law on the Constitutional Council (salaries relating to the two higher categories of State jobs classified outside the scale). The ministerial letter of March 16, 2001 specified that this remuneration therefore amounted to “954,017 francs for the president and 833,357 francs for the members”. This gross amount evolves in accordance with the value of the civil service index point. Also, she asks him the question of knowing what is the gross annual amount of the remuneration of the President and the members of the Constitutional Council as of January 1, 2019.
