Mr. Vincent Rolland questions the Minister of the Interior about electoral posters during the elections. During the last European elections, municipalities had to provide 34 panels intended to receive posters of the candidate lists. Very few were ultimately covered by official posters. While the operating resources of municipalities have been reduced during this period of decline in state funding, the implementation The creation of these billboards once again represents an additional financial cost. Therefore, he wants to know what arrangements the State could propose.

Mr. Vincent Rolland draws the attention of the Secretary of State to the Minister of the Economy and Finance to Directive (EU) 2015/2302 of the European Parliament and of the Council of November 25, 2015 relating to package travel and related travel services, transposed into French law by Ordinance No. 2017-1717 of December 20, 2017, which extended to professionals offering linked travel services certain applicable obligations until then only to package travel organizers, in particular registration with GIE Atout France, the subscription of a financial guarantee to guarantee the funds paid by customers and the subscription of professional civil liability insurance covering all services. These heavy and costly obligations indeed raise questions within the profession of mountain guides. mountain. According to article 3.5 of the directive, transposed into domestic law in III of article L. 122-2 of the tourism code and applicable since July 1, 2018: “The combination of at least two different types of travel services [transport, accommodation, vehicle rental, other tourist services] purchased for the purposes of the same trip or holiday stay, covering at least twenty-four hours, constitutes a linked travel service. or an overnight stay, not constituting a package and leading to the conclusion of separate contracts with individual travel service providers, if a professional facilitates: 1 - ° On the occasion of a single visit to its point of sale or a single contact with it, the separate choice and separate payment of each travel service by travelers. However, when a mountain guide is contacted by a client as part of its traditional activity (apart from any organization of a package trip) for a race lasting more than 24 hours, it is generally necessary to indicate to the client the name and location of the refuge(s) which will be used as places of accommodation during the race. If the client wishes, the guide may also be required to reserve these refuges and, for the most popular refuges, to pay a deposit. This intermediation between clients and refuges, which obviously does not give rise to any remuneration for the guides, does not however rely on any choice on the part of the clients because there is only one possible refuge per ascent route and the choice of route depends on considerations independent of the refuges (client level, racing history, snow conditions). It also does not give rise to any separate payment within the meaning of article L. 122-2 since the shelters are paid on site by the client at the time of the race and any deposit refunded to the guide at the end of the race. Therefore, he asks him to confirm that, when a mountain guide carries out his activity under these conditions, he does not fall within the scope of the related travel services mentioned in 1° of article L. 122-2 of the tourism code.

Mr. Vincent Rolland alerts the Minister of National Education and Youth about the status of youth hostels with regard to the equal citizenship law of 2017. Youth hostels are experiencing increasing success. They respond to a demand from young people to be accommodated in friendly places and offering attractive prices during their trips. Thus, many establishments not meeting the criteria of qualification of youth hostel have seized this “designation” in order to gain in attractiveness to the detriment of youth hostels stricto sensu. However, in article 65 of the equality and citizenship law which was promulgated in 2017, a new provision was introduced in article L. 325-2 of the tourism code following which it is stated that private law organizations must be approved under the mission of interest general accomplished by a youth hostel. It is then imposed on the regulatory power, under Article L. 412-3 of the same code, to issue an implementing decree in the Council of State in order to determine the conditions and modalities for granting approval. However, to date, such a decree has not yet been issued even though youth hostel representatives are calling for Government action on this subject. Therefore, he asks whether a decree is being prepared on the issue and, if so, its publication date.

Mr. Vincent Rolland draws the attention of the Minister of Labor to the continuing training of artisans. Indeed, craftsmen constitute an important profession, with many jobs involved which are based on know-how. They must then be able to renew their training. Until 2018, the training insurance fund for craft business leaders was responsible for covering the costs linked to this training. But this support has been called into question for this year 2019. The Minister has, it is true, released 30 million euros in the meantime to help with this support, a sum which will cover certain training for this year 2019; but it is a question of making this solution sustainable so that the craftsmen continue to benefit from support in their training, a guarantee of the quality of the work. He would therefore like to know his proposals on supporting the continuing training of craftsmen.

Mr. Vincent Rolland draws the attention of the Secretary of State, to the Minister of Action and Public Accounts, to the subject of taking into account the tourist population in determining the allocations and equalization funds to which local mountain tourist authorities are subject. A report on the subject was submitted by the Government to Parliament in the fall of 2018. Unfortunately, it is limited to studying the “tourist” charges are included in the overall operating allocation (DGF), and not in the equalization funds, which are probably the most penalizing. In addition, the approach studied in the report, with a change from 1 to 2 inhabitants per second home in the calculation of the population, is subject to such conditions that in the end extremely few municipalities would be concerned. It is also regrettable that no distinction is not applied according to the typology of the communities, taking into account the particularities of mountain tourist municipalities, for example, which combine a low population density, altitude and specific loads. In the end, this report therefore does not provide any concrete solution, despite the numerous proposals made by the mountain deputies during the budgetary debates in Parliament, in particular for the consideration takes into account the population density or the status of a support station municipality. Consequently, he wishes to know the Government's position, and the measures it intends to take, to modify the calculation of grants and equalization funds to communities in order to better take into account the specificities of mountain tourist areas.

Mr. Vincent Rolland draws the attention of the Minister of Agriculture and Food to the new methods of collection by the National Forestry Office (ONF), of revenues from municipal timber sales and beyond to the future of French forest management policy. While forestry municipalities have initiated broad consultation on the future of public forest management in France, the board of directors of the ONF of November 29, 2018 aimed to ratify a 2019 budget which would establish a new collection system which will have the consequence of delaying the payment of the proceeds of sales by 3 months, despite the firm opposition of the National Federation of Forestry Communes. They legitimately believe that the introduction of a financial intermediary in revenue management would contravene the rules of public accounting, ensured by the municipal collector for the municipalities and would harm the transparency and efficiency of the accounting system, with additional complexity and unnecessary management. Furthermore, the forestry municipalities are upset by the decisions to freeze positions decided for 2018 and 2019, in contradiction with the 2016-2020 objectives and performance contract which provided for maintaining the ONF workforce. Therefore he wants to know the position of the Government on this issue as well as the measures it intends to take to re-establish dialogue with forest communities and build an ambitious forest management policy.

M. Vincent Rolland appelle l'attention de M. le ministre de l'agriculture et de l'alimentation sur la communication des données de labellisation agriculture biologique. La presse se fait régulièrement l'écho de classements des départements selon le nombre de producteurs bio qu'ils abritent. Les consommateurs et citoyens y trouvent une source d'information dans leur recherche de produits respectueux de l'environnement. Ces classements sont issus de chiffres fournis par le ministère de l'agriculture ou d'agences spécialisées. Néanmoins, certains départements, comme la Savoie, sont systématiquement mal classés, à tort, ce qui cause un dommage injustifié en termes d'image. En effet ces classements, basés sur un unique label, défavorisent les territoires qui hébergent par exemple une forte production sous appellation, alors même qu'en règle générale les cahiers des charges de ces appellations ont des exigences supérieures à celles demandées pour l'obtention du label d'agriculture biologique. Par conséquent les données reprises dans la presse peuvent tromper le consommateur en altérant l'image des producteurs d'un département, même si ceux-ci ont des pratiques au moins aussi respectueuses de l'environnement et de la santé que leurs homologues des territoires voisins. Il souhaiterait savoir ce que compte faire le Gouvernement pour remédier à cette situation et mieux communiquer sur la qualité de toutes les productions.

Mr. Vincent Rolland draws the attention of the Minister of Culture to the copyright that associations pay to SACEM (Society of Authors, Composers and Music Publishers) for the organization of their events. Associations are a wealth for the country. The work they do brings life to towns and villages. This is why everything should be done to facilitate their actions. But the rights of authors claimed by SACEM, including when the event is free or poorly attended, represent a significant part of the budget allocated to the running of the event and sometimes dissuading the organizers from using a group of amateur musicians. This is damaging for the public but also for amateur musical practice in France. Therefore, he wishes to know the measures that the Government intends to take to reduce financial constraints when amateur associative groups or orchestras wish to perform at free public events.

Mr. Vincent Rolland draws the attention of the Minister of Solidarity and Health to the subject of “nutriscore”. Today, the food product rating system known as “nutriscore” permitted by the European Union and implemented in France responds to a growing and legitimate need for consumers to know the quality of the products they buy and thus, to be able to compare them with each other. This system, making it possible to harmonize the rating criteria contains weaknesses such as, for example, the absence of taking into account the presence of additives. Many groups have already adopted it but a major limit remains: under a 2011 European regulation, it cannot be imposed on manufacturers. This optional membership of food companies directly harms the effectiveness of this rating system which can only fulfill its role on the sole condition that it applies to all food products in the same range on the shelves in major retailers. Consequently, he would like to know the actions, national as well as European, implemented in order to guarantee its harmonization with the aim of both public health and transparency towards the consumer.

Mr. Vincent Rolland questions the Secretary of State, to the Minister of Action and Public Accounts, on the subjection of equestrian centers to VAT. Building on the particularity of their activity borrowing from both the agricultural and sporting sectors, equestrian establishments benefited from a reduced VAT rate. However, since the conviction of France on March 8, 2012, by the Court of Justice of the Union, they have found themselves confronted European Union for having applied reduced VAT rates to operations relating to equines, to a significant decline in licensees after the application of the normal VAT rate. In fact, the number of licensees increased from 700,000 nationally to 625,000 in 5 years. In a proposal to revise the rules governing VAT rates of January 18, 2018, the European Commission put forward the idea that Member States decide on reduced rates applicable in their territory. As part of this special legislative procedure, the European Parliament adopted a resolution which includes horse riding. He therefore wants to know if he intends to take up this proposal, a unique opportunity for this sector to recover appropriate taxation necessary for social accessibility and economic dynamism.

Mr. Vincent Rolland draws the attention of the Minister of Action and Public Accounts to the VAT recovery system applied to communities when the latter intervene on goods intended for rental. Everyone knows how rural municipalities have a determining role in the development of their territory and the services offered to the population. Without public action, it is not uncommon to see the last business disappear or the last agricultural operation and it becomes more and more difficult to install a health professional. This is why these communities intervene to invest in buildings or equipment which are then rented to the expected beneficiaries in the area. These procedures also allow certain municipalities to rent some rehabilitated housing in disused buildings of their historical role like many schools. In these cases, it is an opportunity to find some revenue that has become rare in the community budget but also to retain a few more residents. However, in cases where the investment leads to the rental of the object of the investment, the community cannot benefit from the FCTVA. This singularity in the VAT compensation regime is a brake on investments premises and consequently to development in rural areas. Also, given the importance that this may represent for many communities in the municipal group, and the collective interest in public investment, he wishes to know the actions that the Government intends to take on this subject.

Mr. Vincent Rolland draws the attention of the Minister of State, Minister of Ecological and Inclusive Transition, to the situation of the Météo France Mountain Center in Bourg-Saint-Maurice, and its future. Indeed, following retirements, there has been no replacement of agents, which suggests an imminent disappearance of this center. The MP recalls the essential role that the center of Bourg-Saint-Maurice plays in the good progress of the winter season in mountain resorts. The temperature, wind and precipitation determine the daily opening of the ski lifts, the use of artificial snow and the opening of the slopes. In addition, good weather information makes it possible to better understand road traffic, which can amount to 30,000 vehicles on certain days, on roads subject to avalanche risks and ranging from 300 to 2,300. meters of altitude. Only the presence of a snow specialist and a mountain forecaster, near the ski areas, allows reliable and precise expertise, in order to best assess the risks and inform local decision-makers. With 650,000 tourist beds, Savoie could under no circumstances support the elimination of such a service. Also, he hopes that the ministry will confirm the maintenance of the Météo France Mountain Center Bourg-Saint-Maurice, with the means essential to its proper functioning.

Mr. Vincent Rolland draws the attention of the Minister, to the Minister of State, Minister of Ecological and Inclusive Transition, responsible for transport, to the accessibility of people with reduced mobility (PRM) in public transport. While the ecological transition pushes public authorities to consider public transport as a mode of transport of the future, the Government should be reminded that it must include equipment necessary for people with reduced mobility. In fact, disabled people and people with reduced mobility do not benefit from the same public transport service as able-bodied people. Even in a city like Paris, a global city, the metro network accessible to people with disabilities and reduced mobility is limited to a few lines. However, it is essential that France can, in a logic of solidarity, offering all citizens, whether they suffer from reduced mobility, disability or not, the same public transport service. He therefore asks what measures his ministry intends to take to improve the accessibility of public transport in France for people with reduced mobility.

Mr. Vincent Rolland draws the attention of the Minister of the Economy and Finance to the impossibility for traditional service stations to benefit from aid allocated by FISAC given unsuitable eligibility criteria. For several decades, the fuel distribution network has been inexorably reduced due to successive closures linked to the inability of service station owners to carry out the investments necessary to bring their installation up to standard or diversify their activities. Until 2014, an aid fund, the Professional Fuel Distribution Committee (CPDC), contributed to investments by professionals in order to guarantee access to mobility for all French people. When it disappeared, between 2015 and 2017, a special fund backed by FISAC made it possible to exclusively process old files. overdue from the CPDC. As part of the discussion of the 2018 PLF, Parliament wanted to provide aid of 2 million euros to service stations through FISAC. The Secretary of State at her ministry herself declared during the debates that “the emphasis will be placed in particular on network service stations”. However, it is clear that less than ten stations were able to receive aid in 2018 so that more than a hundred companies disappear each year. The lack of effectiveness of FISAC can be explained by the inadequacy of the eligibility criteria for service stations - the threshold for the number of inhabitants and turnover proving unsuitable for this sector. In a context where the Government's tax policy requires professionals to transform their infrastructure, opening up and the dynamism of territories rural and mountainous areas nevertheless remain dependent on easy access to fuel. He therefore wishes to know whether the Government is considering, as part of the PLF 2019, a specific regulation backed by FISAC allowing traditional service stations to make the necessary investments for a quality territorial network.

Mr. Vincent Rolland draws the attention of the Minister, to the Minister of State, Minister of Ecological and Inclusive Transition, responsible for transport, to the sustainability of the bicycle mileage allowance. The use of a bicycle for commuting brings many advantages, whether environmental, economic or health, since the benefits of physical activity induced on the cardiovascular systems and musculoskeletal problems no longer need to be proven. In 2016, a bicycle mileage allowance was introduced for employees of private companies who have implemented the measure, so that their bicycle travel costs between their home and work are reimbursed at the rate of 25 euro cents per kilometer. Added to this is a partial exemption from taxes and contributions on this compensation for employees and employers. However, recently, concerns have emerged among players in the sector fearing that the bicycle mileage allowance will be reduced or even eliminated at the end of the year, for budgetary reasons. Also, he would like the Government to confirm at least the maintenance of this compensation and the measures that will be taken for its development in the coming months.

Mr. Vincent Rolland draws the attention of the Minister of the Interior to the implementation of the post-parking package (FPS) and its extremely damaging organizational and economic consequences currently weighing on shared mobility operators. Whereas previously rental companies had the option, in the event of a parking fine, to name the tenant responsible, now they must first pay the FPS payment then turn against the tenant in order to recover the amount. This situation is extremely detrimental to the rights and interests of shared mobility operators as well as tenant customers. Indeed, current legislation does not allow these operators to transfer, in the context of their activity, the responsibility for paying the FPS to the actual driver of the vehicle. In the situation present, any clause introducing, into the general conditions of rental contracts, the automatic passing on of the FPS charge to the customer would be qualified as an unfair clause with regard to consumer law. This situation has considerable financial consequences and goes so far as to call into question the economic sustainability of shared mobility companies. Indeed, the FPS amounts are sometimes well higher than that of the average daily profit from short-term rental of a vehicle. He therefore wishes to know the Government's intentions in order to find a rapid legislative outcome allowing the reestablishment of a mechanism for designating the responsible tenant.

Mr. Vincent Rolland draws the attention of the Minister of the Economy and Finance to the situation of hyper-electro-intensive industries in France. The price of electricity is a determining factor of competitiveness for hyper-electro-intensive companies. Various measures have therefore been implemented in their favor since 2014: HEI status, compensation for indirect CO2 emissions, interruptibility, TURPE rebates and reduced CSPE rates. In 2015, before the special commission on the growth and activity bill, Emmanuel Macron, then Minister of the Economy, guaranteed that the strategy undertaken, based on three pillars, was “intended to cover all the needs of electro-intensive workers”. However, to date and contrary to the commitments that had been made, the situation in these industries is once again becoming anxiety-provoking. On the one hand, the sustainability of the first pillar (interruptibility and TURPE) is not guaranteed; the measures concerned are currently the subject of discussions between State services (DGE, DGEC) and the European Commission and the risk of a “planning” is great. On the other hand, the third pillar, namely long-term contractualization, has not given rise to any concrete initiatives. This last pillar would require the support of energy companies and Government support for these historic industries which also contribute to the optimization of the energy mix and the stability of the French network, especially since, within a few months, certain contracts will end, forcing manufacturers to obtain supplies at prices that they will not be able to bear in the medium term. There are fourteen months left before the situation becomes critical for the first few hyper sites electro-intensive.

Mr. Vincent Rolland draws the attention of the Minister of Action and Public Accounts to the situation in which certain communities find themselves due to the equalization and levy processes operated by the State. The Equalization Fund for intercommunal and municipal revenues (FPIC) is applied to communities as a horizontal equalization mechanism for the municipal group. It concerns communities which present a financial potential (PFIA) greater than 0.9 times the aggregate financial potential per average inhabitant observed at the national level. The expansion of intermunicipal perimeters resulting from departmental intermunicipal cooperation plans has mechanically led to a drop in the number of contributors and seen an increase in the volume of beneficiary territories, which has not, however, slowed down the growth of the overall envelope. Thus, the contributors are more heavily solicited. In 2016, an overall analysis showed that the contribution amounts on average to 21.94 euros per inhabitant and that it represents less than 5% of real operating revenue. However, some areas are hit harder than others. This is the case for the communities of Tarentaise, for example, which are subject to contributions exceeding 400 euros per inhabitant, thus depriving EPCIs of several million euros and which can represent up to a quarter of their budget and almost half of the tax income from households. And the effort doesn't stop there; we must also add the impact of participation in the recovery of public accounts. This contribution is organized by a levy on the DGF, which is not sufficient, in many cases, to cover the amounts due. Thus, communities notice Negative DGF which ultimately results in a direct participation of communities towards the State via levies on the tax product again. The combination of these measures makes the whole thing unsustainable and confiscatory for communities, households and economic actors. Local investment is directly affected, as is public procurement as a whole, with obvious impacts on employment. local. Some communities have already been forced to significantly increase their taxes to respond to the attacks they are experiencing on their finances. Also, in a context where many fears are emerging about the future, he wishes to know the provisions that the Government intends to implement to take into account local situations where the measures have become excessive and no longer allow communities to exercise their skills, harm their attractiveness and the local economy as a whole.

The decree stipulates that when several establishments open to the public are located on the same geographical site, the automated external defibrillator can be put into operation. common, which allows for pooling of equipment when several ERP systems are adjacent. However, there is a lack of precision on the maximum perimeter of the “geographic site” beyond which it will be necessary to install a second device, that is to say the maximum distance between an ERP and an AED. In tourist areas in particular, when the concentration of ERP (public or private) is significant, this question is significant. The elected officials of The municipalities concerned rightly point out that an increase in the number of devices, with the difficulties this creates in terms of maintenance and the inherent risk of obsolescence of AEDs, could have an effect contrary to the initial intention of the legislator.

This is why he wants to know the perimeter for which a defibrillator would be valid for several ERPs and the legal responsibility for the community in the case of a cardiac incident if, within a reasonable radius, another device is available.
