Question 3645 — commerce and crafts

Summary

Mrs. Aurélie Trouvé alerts the Minister of the Economy, Finance and Industrial and Digital Sovereignty about the removal of the Living Heritage Companies label, whose subsidies were drastically reduced in the finance bill for 2025. This label is nevertheless essential in that it allows 1,035 companies to continue their activity peacefully. These are VSEs, SMEs and ETIs reconciling innovation and tradition, creativity and high-tech industrial, local and international. Several fields of activity are concerned: fashion, the processing of raw materials, gastronomy, and even heritage conservation. Among these craftsmen, we find the Quoirin workshop, which specializes in the construction and restoration of organs and which saved that of Notre-Dame. In addition to preserving a common heritage, these companies are part of an approach eco-responsible through the prioritization of short circuits, controlled energy consumption and promote the training of apprentices in rare professions which are not taught through the usual training routes. They preserve traditional know-how, promote the local identities of territories and represent one of the pillars of the national economy: in 2023, Living Heritage Companies employed more than 59,000 people, for a cumulative turnover of more than 14.2 billion euros. More broadly, they play an important role in French reindustrialization, in particular by being subcontractors and efficient partners for large groups wishing to relocate all or part of their production to France. These are advantages without which these companies could not exist which are at stake: in particular export aid and a 15% tax credit capped at 30,000 euros on expenses directly linked to the creation of works. In 2024, these benefits represented 1.05 million euros in the state budget. For 2025, the budget granted by the Government falls to 200,000 euros. Faced with this danger for artisans and for the influence of France, she questions him about the budgetary measures that the Government intends to propose in order to respond to the distress of certified artisans.
