Question 21693 — consular chambers

Summary

Ms. Agnès Firmin Le Bodo draws the attention of the Minister of Agriculture and Food to the financing of chambers of agriculture. The chambers of agriculture support French farmers in their entrepreneurial approach, business creation, technical advice, etc. Through global advice and services for the benefit of farmers and communities, they support agricultural transitions, create value in territories and lead the dialogue between agriculture and society. Their scope of intervention is broad and their role unanimously recognized by both farmers and their partners; 3,200 elected officials and 8,000 employees run them. For better functioning, the Government and the chambers have begun an in-depth overhaul of their organization by proposing in particular an objectives and performance contract (COP). While the preliminary reflections on this COP are underway, the announcement by the Minister of a 15% reduction in the additional tax on undeveloped land, which contributes almost half to the budget of the chambers of agriculture, is difficult to understand. Thus, on a Norman scale, nearly 2.7 million euros will be missing from the network of chambers of agriculture. This reduction, the effect of which on the tax burden of farmers would be derisory, could result in a brutal social plan and less effectiveness of the action of the chambers of agriculture. It therefore seems desirable to the MP to resume the discussion on the COP in order to define, in consultation, the means necessary for their action and above all to support this reduction which must be prepared and progressive. She asks him what the Government's position is on this issue.
