Question 30402 — French people abroad

Summary

Mr. Meyer Habib draws the attention of the Minister for Europe and Foreign Affairs to the difficulties of access to consular civil status services encountered by a number of French people with reduced mobility established abroad, in particular the elderly. Indeed, the rationalization of the French consular network has often led, particularly in Europe, to grouping “heavy” consular activity (civil status, civil status, etc.) in certain capitals. visas...). In this configuration, the device for collecting biometric data for an application for a passport or secure national identity card is located in a consular section attached to the embassy. The user must then travel to submit their application, which can be particularly time-consuming and difficult in countries such as Greece, Italy or Turkey. This organization of consular administration responds to a logic of efficiency, in a context of pressure on resources. It also supports the reorientation of professions within so-called “simplified management” consulates towards missions of analysis, contact and promotion of French political, economic and cultural interests. However, rationalization must allow an improvement in the quality of the service provided without affecting accessibility and therefore equality in public service. This is why he asks him if he intends to strengthen the provision of mobile equipment at posts (“Consuleo”), increase the number of consular tours and give priority to people with reduced mobility in order to strengthen the accessibility of this essential consular service for all.
