Question 2244 — elected officials

Summary

Mr. Stéphane Vojetta draws the attention of the Minister of the Interior and Overseas Territories to the registration of advisors of French people living abroad (CFDE) in the national directory of elected officials (RNE). Elected by direct universal suffrage, the 442 CFDEs meet the same attendance obligations as any elected official on French territory although residing abroad, representatives of French men and women established outside France. CFDEs must thus fulfilling different functions such as advisory work to the head of post concerning social protection, employment, professional training, apprenticeship, French education abroad, security or even the conditions for exercising the CFDE mandate. They must also respond to requests for help from fellow citizens in their constituency in their various administrative procedures with the administration. consular, or central administration. In addition, the CFDEs ensure the presidency of the consular council(s) of their electoral district as well as the presidency of the commissions for controlling the consular electoral lists attached thereto. Also, their status as elected officials in their own right is beyond doubt and the recent guide for elected officials and the consular council, published in September 2022 and prefaced by the Minister Delegate responsible for foreign trade, attractiveness and French people abroad, reminds us that they must appear in the RNE. However, it seems that this is not the case and this contradictory information does not allow real recognition of the work of CFDE elected officials. Indeed, the recognition of this work carried out on a voluntary basis, with a short compensation which does not compensate for all the costs relating to the various trips due to the function, is affected by it. Also, he would like to know the Government's arrangements to verify the registration of CFDEs in the RNE and to know what possible improvements in recognition of the status of CFDEs can be made.
