Question 17935 — intercommunality

Summary

Ms. Annaïg Le Meur draws the attention of the Minister of the Interior to the lack of respect for parity in community councils. Law No. 2013-403 of May 17, 2013 relating to the election of departmental councilors, municipal councilors and community councilors established obligations of equal representation within the municipal councils of municipalities with 1,000 inhabitants or more and their local executives. However, there is no law imposing equal representation within intercommunal assemblies. The consequences are being felt, according to figures from the Ministry of the Interior for 2017, only 34.6% of women are present on community councils, a stable proportion regardless of the size of the intermunicipalities. At the head of these intermunicipalities, the presence of women is further reduced, with only 18% elected within community offices. Finally, 14% of community councils have an exclusively male executive. In a report dated November 29, 2018, the High Council for Equality proposed reviewing the election procedures in community councils in order to strengthen equal representation. An election of members of intermunicipalities by direct universal suffrage is one of the scenarios proposed in the report. Also, she asks him if there are plans to legislate soon to strengthen the parity criteria in the composition of community councils and their executives.
