Question 6278 — State civil service

Summary

Mr. Thierry Perez draws the attention of the Minister of Agriculture and Food Sovereignty to the reclassification of State contract veterinarians. Department of Agriculture contract veterinarians play a vital role in protecting public health, food safety and animal welfare. They carry out crucial missions in slaughterhouses, border inspection posts and territorial directorates, with public authority prerogatives to guarantee the conformity of establishments and products of animal origin. In October 2023, the ministry announced a reform of the salary scales applicable to contract veterinarians, taking into account their seniority acquired within the MASA and before their recruitment. This reform, effective September 1, 2023, was to allow a revaluation long-awaited and restore a certain fairness. However, despite these commitments, contract veterinarians have still not seen their remuneration updated. For more than a year, the announced deadlines have continued to be postponed: initially promised for January 2024, then summer 2024, then before the end of 2024, then before March 2025, this revaluation is now postponed to a period extending from April to August 2025, without any guarantee that it will actually be applied on that date. In addition, contract veterinarians denounce a total lack of transparency on the terms of their reclassification. To date, they still do not have precise information on: their exact classification (A1 or A2, while some should be in A2); the seniority which will be used to calculate their remuneration index, even though this criterion is supposed be taken into account; the management of amendments, in particular for agents who have changed position since September 2023. The absence of individual and precise communication maintains a strong uncertainty as to the exact amount of remuneration which will be received, thus reinforcing the feeling of opacity and contempt towards contractual veterinarians. Also, he asks him to specify: the guarantees that the ministry can provide regarding the effective compliance with the announced timetable, in order to avoid a further postponement of the regularization of salaries; the exact criteria used for the reclassification of contract veterinarians and the methods of individual communication of decisions; the measures envisaged to ensure total transparency on the remuneration indices applied to each agent and avoid any unjustified disparity between veterinarians of equivalent experience.
