Question 3944 — industry

Summary

Mr. Jocelyn Dessigny draws the attention of the Minister of the Armed Forces to the closure of a factory manufacturing French military uniforms in Calais, after the loss of a contract with the army: military uniforms would now be manufactured in Madagascar, undermining the principle of made in France defended tooth and nail by French entrepreneurs. In fact, for 25 years, the French army has been dressing in a textile workshop the Marck et Balsan company in Calais which offered 100% made in France. But in December 2024, the company paradoxically lost the call for tenders from the French army for the next four years so that the management of the Calais company therefore decided to close the Calais production site which employs 65 employees, the market representing almost all of the production of the company's Calais site. At local industrial disaster is added to a social and commercial disaster in view of all the salary and other jobs induced by the 65 original jobs. Finally, the employees of the Calais company being mainly women with long careers in a luxury field, the loss of French know-how is compounded by a worsening of the principle of equal pay for men and women. The MP asks the Minister to wear a pay particular attention to the fact that the call for tenders was paradoxically won by a French competitor which manufactures in Madagascar. He asks him how it is possible to neutralize in advance these calls for tenders with perverse effects, how to avoid this worsening of wage equality between men and women and how to avoid this flight from France of an industrial strategy.
