Question 32075 — overseas

Summary

Mr. Philippe Dunoyer draws the attention of the Minister of Transformation and the Public Service to the priority of assignment of civil servants from New Caledonia. He recalls that the law of April 20, 2016 relating to ethics and the rights and obligations of civil servants, the law of February 28, 2017 on programming relating to real equality overseas and laying down other provisions in social and economic matters, then the interministerial circular of March 10, 2017 noted the consideration of the “center of material and moral interests” in transfer requests requested by overseas civil servants. More recently, in New Caledonia, the State committed, during the 17th committee of signatories, to continuing the “Caledonization” of jobs in the national gendarmerie. However, the deputy notes that, despite these developments, Many civil service agents from New Caledonia continue to report their difficulties in obtaining priority assignment to their home territory. These agents who, after having worked for several years in France, wish, for obvious reasons of family reunification or financial, to be assigned to the archipelago, have their transfer request refused. For example, in administration penitentiary, a Caledonian employed at the East Camp in Nouméa for more than twenty-five years had to continue her missions in a penitentiary center in France, after having obtained her advancement in rank, even though the East Camp had an attaché position in its workforce. Another concrete case can be cited in the field of public finances: a Caledonian public finance administrative agent stationed in the region Parisian for three years and who obtained the external competition B for public finance controller in 2020 was refused a position of executive controller B to be filled in New Caledonia, even though he held the center of his material and moral interests there. These particular cases raise serious questions. The amplification of “Caledonization” is an absolute necessity, both in the interest of agents and to respond to glaring shortage of personnel from which the territory suffers. The presence on the ground of civil servants who know the local context perfectly can only be an asset for New Caledonia. He therefore wishes to know whether the Government intends to revise the criteria linked to transfer requests from civil servants originating from New Caledonia in order to make effective the principle of priority of assignment of civil servants to their territory of origin.
