Question 17779 — commerce and crafts

Summary

Mr. Édouard Jordan draws the attention of the Minister of Small and Medium Enterprises, Commerce, Crafts, Tourism and Purchasing Power to the particularly significant economic consequences of the administrative closures of the Lac de la Cavayère site, in Carcassonne, in Aude, decided in the context of fire risk prevention. Lake Cavayère is a major tourist site in the town of Carcassonne and contributes directly to the economic and tourist activity of the region. Many traders and operators carry out an activity there that is highly dependent on tourist numbers and the summer season. For several seasons and more particularly during the 2025 and 2026 seasons, these professionals have been faced with closures decided by prefectural decree due to fire risk. If these measures respond to legitimate imperatives of civil security and protection of people, their repetition and their methods of implementation generate considerable economic consequences for the companies concerned. Certain closing days are in fact announced late, sometimes the day before for the next day, not allowing professionals to adapt their organization, their supplies or their commitments. contractual. These closures lead to immediate losses of turnover, weaken seasonal employment and can compromise commitments made to suppliers and partners. The companies concerned thus directly bear the financial consequences of administrative decisions taken in the general interest, without a specific support or compensation mechanism being established today. systematically provided to compensate for the damage suffered. This situation is all the more worrying as these activities contribute to the tourist dynamism of Carcassonne and contribute to the economic attractiveness of the Aude department. The repetition of these closures could, in the long term, permanently weaken companies whose activity is already subject to strong seasonality. In this context, he asks him what measures the The Government intends to take action to support VSEs and SMEs whose activity is directly affected by repeated administrative closures linked to fire risk prevention. He would like to know in particular whether the Government is considering the creation of an exceptional aid or compensation system to compensate all or part of the losses suffered by the companies concerned, as well as the implementation of tax measures, specific social or economic conditions when these closures result in a significant loss of turnover. He wishes to know the national or local measures currently available to traders and operators of Lac de la Cavayère and, where applicable, the measures that the Government intends to implement in order to prevent the economic consequences of these closures from being borne exclusively by the professionals concerned.
