Question 23563 — regions

Summary

Mr. Patrick Loiseau draws the attention of the Minister of Territorial Cohesion and Relations with Local Authorities to the results of the redistribution of regions. The Court of Auditors published on September 14, 2019 the second part of its annual report on local public finances, relating to the prospects for development beyond 2019 of the financial situation of local authorities. She takes stock of the reorganization of regions, resulting from the implementation on January 1, 2016 of the law of January 16, 2015 relating to the delimitation of regions. The results are mixed: if the transition and the creation of the “new regions” went well and within the time limit set by the legislator, the full exercise of their powers in the new areas, particularly in terms of economic development, requires additional time. The Court of Auditors even notes that the merger of the regions has caused significant additional costs, particularly in terms of remuneration of staff and elected officials. It therefore proposes to strengthen the effectiveness of the regions' responsibility in terms of economic development, as well as to harmonize the method of accounting for European funds in regional budgets. He therefore wishes to question him about the measures and devices which may be taken with a view to taking into account the recommendations of the Court of Auditors, in order to complete the transitional phase of creation of the new regions, and to make the necessary adjustments in order to obtain the expected efficiency gains within the framework of this territorial redistribution.
