Question 25405 — defense

Summary

Mr. Sylvain Brial questions the Minister of the Armed Forces on the consequences of the President of the Republic's remarks in his speech at the Assises de la Mer in Montpellier on December 3, 2019. The President of the Republic indicated that the Minister of the Armed Forces had just signed the order for six new patrol boats in order to strengthen the protection of overseas maritime spaces. The MP is delighted with this desire. He had the opportunity to worry about the lack of means available to monitor the French maritime space in the Pacific. It is in the Pacific that the most important commercial traffic in the world intersects and on its coasts that the majority of the world's population resides. In particular, it recalls the regular penetration of factory ships carrying out the most destructive fishing in the waters surrounding the islands of Wallis and Futuna. He wishes know when this program will see the light of day and when the Pacific will welcome these new units. He would like the Minister to tell him how these units will be distributed across the three oceans. He wishes to know the missions that will be assigned to the resources engaged in the Pacific. The territory of Wallis and Futuna is particularly isolated, so he asks that one of these units can be assigned to the area maritime which is closest to it and maintain ongoing relations with this territory, the populations and the elected officials.
