Question 20441 — municipalities

Summary

Mr. Raphaël Schellenberger draws the attention of the Minister of Agriculture and Food to the proposed system for collecting sales of municipal wood by the accounting agency of the National Forestry Office (ONF). This project, proposed in the COP 2016-2020 (Objective and performance contract), was initially to be the subject of extensive consultation with all stakeholders. He was finally unilaterally arrested by the Government on October 19, 2018, and will be imposed on forestry municipalities from July 1, 2019. This new provision, expected to present advantages in terms of monitoring payments and issuing permits to remove or exploit wood, appears above all as placing French forestry municipalities under supervision. The ONF would thus become the imposed manager selling services to municipalities from now on customers, and collecting their receipts. This 25 million euro bandage supposed to improve the working capital of the ONF will in no way solve its problem of a drifting economic model and will temporarily deprive the 11,000 rural municipalities of the revenue which today allows them to invest in their territories. This decision, taken in contradiction with the principle of community autonomy, is strongly criticized by elected officials. forest communities. Consequently, he asks him to suspend this measure, in favor of consultation with the stakeholders concerned.
