Question 22068 — taxes and duties

France · National Assembly

Mr. Vincent Descoeur draws the attention of the Minister of the Economy and Finance to the double taxation which affects fuel and electricity, thus constituting a double fiscal penalty for consumers. Indeed, VAT applies to certain taxes paid by the French. Thus, when the motorist buys fuel, he pays the domestic consumption tax on energy products (TICPE), which represented in 2018, 60 to 70 cents per liter depending on fuel. Tax to which is added the VAT which is applied to the TICPE. According to estimates from UFC-Que Choisir, in 2018, French individuals paid 4.6 billion euros in VAT on energy-related taxes. Thus, for a liter of gasoline, motorists pay on average 14 cents in VAT on the TICPE. As for average heating bills, double taxation amounts to 62 euros per year for households heated with oil, 56 euros for those using electricity and 31 euros for those heated with gas. In view of the considerable increase in fuel prices in recent months, and in view of the fiscal aberration represented by this double taxation, he asks whether the Government intends to put an end to all VAT subjection of taxes and contributions on energy in order to restore purchasing power to French.

Question 22458 — consular chambers

France · National Assembly

Mr. Vincent Descoeur draws the attention of the Minister of Agriculture and Food to the concerns expressed by the network of chambers of agriculture regarding the Government's plan to propose a 15% reduction in the additional tax to the tax on undeveloped land, which represents 40% of the resources of these establishments. This reduction would deprive the chambers of agriculture of a revenue of 45 million euros and would undermine the agricultural development without reducing the burdens borne by farmers since this reduction would only represent a few tens of euros per year for landowners and agricultural operators. Furthermore, to maintain the services they offer to farmers, the chambers of agriculture would be forced to charge for them and invoice farmers for them. This reduction in resources would deprive the chambers of agriculture of the means of action at a time when, however, farmers more than ever need to be supported and accompanied collectively to meet the challenges that societies assign to them, whether it concerns the preservation and development of natural resources, the fight against climate change, the energy transition or the development of short circuits. This is why he asks what the Government's intentions are in this area.

Question 20665 — agriculture

France · National Assembly

M. Vincent Descoeur appelle l'attention de M. le ministre de l'agriculture et de l'alimentation sur les maladies fongiques qui menacent à double titre la filière apicole. C'est le cas du Nosema ceranae qui se développe dans les cellules de l'intestin et cause d'importants dégâts sanitaires dans les ruches. Il provoque une perturbation endocrinienne au sein des colonies et sert de porte d'entrée à des virus, comme celui de la maladie noire. Phénomène inquiétant, Nosema ceranae s'avère plus actif dans le sud de la France que dans le nord. Le changement climatique peut faire craindre un développement croissant de ce champignon face auquel les apiculteurs sont démunis. D'autres maladies fongiques comme le couvain plâtré ou le couvain pétrifié touchent environ 10 % des ruches. Les experts estiment que la dynamique de population est freinée de 10 à 30 % selon le taux d'infestation. L'autre conséquence des maladies fongiques pour l'apiculture est indirecte mais tout aussi réelle. Les maladies fongiques réduisent la biodiversité et donc la qualité du bol alimentaire des butineuses ; les défenses immunitaires des abeilles sont affaiblies, ce qui peut entraîner des phénomènes de surmortalité. Les experts de l'ONU sur la biodiversité (IPBES) viennent d'ailleurs de publier un rapport alarmant sur cette perte de biodiversité. Les années fastes, les oléo-protéagineux (colza et tournesol notamment) assurent environ les deux-tiers de la production de miel en France directement, ou indirectement en contribuant au développement des colonies permettant de récolter d'autres miellées. Les moyens de lutte existent. Pour être efficaces, les agriculteurs doivent avoir à leur disposition une large palette d'outils adaptés à toutes les situations en prenant notamment en compte les conditions pédoclimatiques. Les difficultés techniques rencontrées par les agriculteurs font craindre aux apiculteurs une réduction de ces cultures agricoles mellifères pourtant indispensables à l'alimentation des abeilles et à la production de miel. C'est donc tout l'équilibre de la filière apicole qui se retrouve aujourd'hui menacé par le développement des maladies fongiques accéléré par le changement climatique. Par conséquent, il lui demande comment le Gouvernement entend soutenir les apiculteurs par des programmes de recherche ambitieux, ainsi que les agriculteurs pour leur garantir l'accès aux moyens de lutte efficace afin de maintenir les cultures mellifères au cœur des territoires et préserver ainsi le précieux service de la pollinisation.

Question 20769 — territorial civil service

France · National Assembly

Mr. Vincent Descoeur draws the attention of the Minister of Action and Public Accounts to the conditions of recruitment of nursing staff in establishments for dependent elderly people (EHPAD) falling under the territorial public service. Beyond obtaining a state diploma, these personnel must pass a specific competition in order to integrate the territorial civil service, which is neither the case in the state civil service, neither in the hospital public service, nor a fortiori to work in private EHPADs. In a context characterized by difficulties in recruiting nursing staff, the compulsory use of a specific competition proves restrictive for these establishments which, as a result, are forced to resort to temporary work or fixed-term contracts, which generates additional costs for residents. as for public budgets. The introduction of a precariousness bonus such as the Government envisages in the civil service transformation bill currently being examined in Parliament, will further increase these costs. This is why he asks him if, for the sake of standardizing the conditions of access to jobs in the three public functions and equality with private establishments, the Government plans to eliminate the obligation of competition for nursing staff wishing to work in EHPADs falling under the territorial public service.

Question 20692 — arts and entertainment

France · National Assembly

Mr. Vincent Descoeur draws the attention of the Minister of Culture to the concerns expressed by artist-authors regarding the pension reform that the Government intends to implement. Indeed, since the law of December 31, 1975, artist-authors benefit from a specific regime which allows them to have the same rights as employees for the validation of semesters and the calculation of retirement, even if the contribution broadcaster-employer remains much lower than that paid by employers of employees. However, in the event that the new retirement system is based on the principle that each euro contributed gives identical retirement rights, artist-authors would be exposed either to a sharp drop in their retirement pensions or to a significant increase in their contributions. This would have disastrous consequences for creation French culture. This is why he asks what provisions the Government intends to propose to preserve the status of artist-authors with regard to their retirement rights.

Question 22162 — road safety

France · National Assembly

Mr. Vincent Descoeur draws the attention of the Minister of the Interior to the draft decree which aims to modify the highway code to give status to motorized personal travel devices (EDP). It appears that this decree could prohibit the circulation of these machines outside urban areas, where it would only be authorized on cycle paths and greenways. This ban could prove penalizing for residents of areas rural areas and even more for professionals who develop tourist products with, for example, all-terrain electric scooters with which they may be required to take sections of roads on which the maximum authorized speed is greater than 50 km/h in order to reach paths or visiting sites. There is objectively no reason to treat motorized EDPs from bicycles differently which, they can travel outside urban areas. Likewise, non-motorised EDPs, which the regulations treat as pedestrians, can also travel under certain conditions on roads outside urban areas. He asks him if the Government plans to authorize the circulation of motorized EDPs outside urban areas, and if it is considering provisions to allow professionals to use these machines for tourist discovery purposes. outside urban areas.

Question· Question écrite17946open

Question 17946 — public procurement

France · National Assembly

Mr. Vincent Descoeur questions the Minister of the Economy and Finance on the application of legislation regarding public procurement. Due to too many exceptions to the allotment principle in public construction contracts, many SMEs and SMIs only have access to public orders as subcontractors of general contractors. In the current state of public procurement law, holders are given full latitude to appoint subcontractors, including after contract award, or change subcontractors. This freedom never takes into account the economic, fiscal and social impacts. Subcontracting companies established in France may thus be dismissed late, in particular in favor of European or non-European subcontractors. The consequences of these choices are damaging for the revenues of the State budgets, local authorities and social security organizations. It is essential that public buyers exercise all their economic, social and environmental responsibilities when awarding and executing public contracts, including through careful examination of subcontracting conditions. This is why he asks him, when the new public procurement code comes into force, what provisions the Government intends to take action to encourage public buyers to promote responsible practices in subcontracting.

Question 17945 — public procurement

France · National Assembly

Mr. Vincent Descoeur questions the Minister of the Economy and Finance on the application of legislation regarding public procurement. On several occasions, the legislator has reaffirmed the objective of direct access for SMEs and SMIs to public procurement. The allotment principle should represent, from this point of view, a guarantee. But today, particularly in public construction contracts, the allotment which should be the rule tends to become the exception. Many public buyers choose to forego allotment, thus creating a very unfavorable environment for small and medium-sized businesses. Through control of legality and through its advisory action to public buyers, the Government has numerous tools to guide this initial choice which strongly conditions the access of SMEs to public markets. That's why he asks her if the Government intends to ensure that these exceptions are all justified at a time when innovative French industrial sectors, such as that of metal construction, are weakened and weakened by the difficulty of direct access to public procurement without being subcontractors of large groups.

Mr. Vincent Descoeur draws the attention of the Minister of the Interior to the number of radar cars which are deployed throughout the territory, the number of flashes emitted by these vehicles as well as the number of reports drawn up following the offenses recorded by these cars. He would also like to know if the outsourcing of the driving of these vehicles had an impact on the number of reports that were drawn up. since their use. Finally, he would like to know what the forecasts are regarding the new deployments of these vehicles and which departments will be concerned.

Question 17400 — professions and social activities

France · National Assembly

Mr. Vincent Descoeur draws the attention of the Minister of Labor to the concerns that the proposed reform of unemployment insurance raises among childminders. Currently, childminders who look after several children can, upon termination of one of their contracts, benefit from an allowance which is added to the income from other retained jobs. In the framework document submitted in October 2018 to social partners for the negotiation of the unemployment insurance reform, the Government considers that “this situation deserves to be corrected, in order to further encourage people to favor earned income”. Hence the concern of childminders who fear they will no longer receive unemployment benefits when they lose the benefit of a contract, often for reasons beyond their control. This is why he asks the Government to clarify its intentions regarding this reform of unemployment insurance and its implications for the profession of childminders.

Question 17276 — children

France · National Assembly

Mr. Vincent Descoeur draws the attention of the Minister of Solidarity and Health to the difficulties that would result from the transfer to the Family Allowance Funds of the missions linked to the authorization or approval of establishments for the care of young children (ECJE) and childminders as well as the training of childminders currently carried out by the departments. This hypothesis is considered within the framework of the “Strategy national prevention and fight against poverty” which evokes this transfer within two years. A parliamentary mission was also entrusted with the responsibility of drawing up a diagnosis of the missions carried out by the PMI services of the departments. The transfer of these missions would have the effect of calling into question a global approach to public policy on prevention and child protection and would jeopardize the organization and services put in place by the departments. This is why he asks what the Government's intentions are in this area.

Question 14662 — sports

France · National Assembly

M. Vincent Descoeur appelle l'attention de Mme la ministre des sports sur la situation de crise à laquelle sont confrontés les conseillers techniques sportifs. Corps d'État, créé en 1960 à l'issue des jeux de Rome pour relever le rang de la France en termes de pratiques sportives et de résultats, il est composé d'hommes et de femmes de terrain, experts dans leur discipline, passionnés par le développement de la pratique sportive, porteurs des valeurs de la République, qui accompagnent des milliers de jeunes sportifs chaque année. Le devenir des CTS est incertain à l'heure où est annoncée la suppression de 1 600 postes. Depuis que ces annonces ont été faites, aucune réponse concernant le statut de ces agents n'a été apportée par l'État. Alors que la France accueillera les jeux Olympiques de Paris en 2024, l'annonce de la suppression de 1 600 cadres techniques d'État d'ici 2022 et la réduction du budget « Sport » pour 2019 sont en parfaite contradiction avec l'objectif des performances attendues. Il s'interroge sur la manière dont on peut engager ainsi l'ensemble du sport dans un projet d'agence, de manière aussi rapide, sans que les périmètres d'interventions ou la gestion et le statut des acteurs ne soient définis ni partagés par l'ensemble des acteurs. Aussi, il souhaiterait savoir si le Gouvernement entend revenir sur cette réforme qui sera si elle reste en l'état destructrice pour le sport français. Il aimerait en outre, savoir si elle entend abandonner toute réforme de statut pour le corps des conseillers techniques sportifs.

Question 17223 — woods and forests

France · National Assembly

Mr. Vincent Descoeur draws the attention of the Minister of Action and Public Accounts to the new methods of collecting revenues linked to the sales of wood from communities. On November 29, 2018, the board of directors of the ONF voted on the 2019 budget proposal which aims to allow the ONF to collect revenues from wood sales from the municipalities, before paying them back within a period of up to three months. Representatives of the National Federation of Forest Communes voted against and left the session. Indeed, the introduction of this measure is very badly received by mayors who rightly fear that deadlines will not be met and who do not accept being thus cut off from their direct relations with local businesses. Furthermore, while the forest municipalities have been waiting for a year to have details on This project, its implementation has accelerated with an implementing decree which should be published soon. Elected officials have very clearly expressed their opposition to this project and their firmness in the face of any attempt to continue the implementation of any tool in parallel. This therefore adds to the climate of degraded relationships and loss of trust. Also, he would like to know his position on the matter and asks that we reconsider this measure which would seriously affect the municipalities’ cash flow.

Question 17214 — insurance

France · National Assembly

Mr. Vincent Descoeur draws the attention of the Minister of the Interior to the fears of associations for road victims concerning the abandonment of the use of the triplicate in police stations and gendarmes with the exception of three departments. Indeed, in the event of a bodily accident resulting in injury or death, there is no longer a report drawn up between the parties, only the Accident report being authentic to determine the responsibilities towards the insurer. Thus, in the absence of a report and whatever the circumstances of the accident, the fate of the families or the victims finds itself suspended in an investigation procedure which can sometimes prove to be long, the payment of provisions by the insurance companies thus finding itself constantly postponed. Also, in order to alleviate this situation which in many cases plunges families or victims into dramatic financial situations, the associations are asking for the reintroduction of the triplicate in the event of a bodily accident on which would be systematically informed the first findings of the accident, the surnames, first names and date of birth of all the people involved in the accident, a note indicating the validity or not of the driving license of each driver, the results of the toxicological tests of all protagonists, the name and insurance contract number of the vehicles involved. This document would be given to the families or victims or to a specialized association having received a mandate within five days following the accident. He asks him if he intends to reinstate the triplicate in the event of a traffic accident throughout the country.

Question 17391 — health professions

France · National Assembly

Mr. Vincent Descoeur draws the attention of the Minister of Solidarity and Health to the difficulties that residents of rural areas encounter in accessing ophthalmology care due to the reduction in the number of practitioners and the lengthening of times for obtaining an appointment. One solution would be to open up the possibility for orthoptists to renew or adapt optical corrections under the same conditions as eyewear opticians. In the current state of the regulations, orthoptists can carry out a visual assessment as part of the renewal or adaptation of optical corrections. However, the prescribing doctor remains solely competent to write the prescription corresponding to the orthoptic diagnosis. Such an organization is not effective. It mobilizes several health professionals, involves numerous return trips and generates an additional financial cost for the patient and health insurance. This development would help relieve congestion in ophthalmology practices, reduce the cost of orthoptist consultations and promote prevention in visual health. It also corresponds to a recommendation from the Court of Auditors which, in its latest report on the application of social security financing laws of October 4, 2018, clearly called for a modification of the distribution of skills between the different players in the visual sector and, more specifically, the granting of authorization for orthoptists to carry out visual assessments and simple consultations and to prescribe optical equipment. This is why he asks him if the Government plans to integrate this avenue of reorganization of the visual sector into the framework of the health bill.

France · National Assembly

Mr. Vincent Descoeur draws the attention of the Minister of the Economy and Finance to the concerns of local elected officials and La Poste users regarding the procedure for reorganizing post office hours in municipalities with less than 2,000 inhabitants. The territorial presence contract signed for the 2017-2019 period between the State, the Association of Mayors of France, the presidents of intercommunalities and La Poste provides that “the changes in timetables are adapted to the rhythms of life of residents, including Saturday mornings, in connection with local economic life, in particular with commercial and/or tourist activities existing in the municipalities concerned. It stipulates that “any change in the weekly opening hours of a post office must be the subject of a report formalized by La Poste and submitted to the mayor of the municipality concerned who has a period of 2 months (a period which can be extended to 3 months at the express request of the mayor) to transmit its observations within the framework of a dialogue with the representative of La Poste. This contract does not specify under what conditions the mayor can oppose a decision by La Poste when it substantially modifies the opening hours of an office, in particular when it decides to close certain days of the week or when the new schedules are clearly unsuitable for local needs and dynamics. The mayors certainly receive information from La Poste but find themselves faced with a fait accompli without really having the means to put forward their arguments. He asks how the Government intends to ensure that the opinion of local elected officials is taken into account when La Poste substantially modifies the opening hours of a post Office.

Question 17283 — agricultural education

France · National Assembly

Mr. Vincent Descoeur draws the attention of the Minister of Agriculture and Food to the difficulties encountered in private agricultural education and in particular those of agents classified in category 3 called “teaching assistants”. A working group was already set up on this subject in July 2018 but the resulting measures seem far from meeting the challenges. Indeed, the FEP-CFDT denounces the insufficiency of number of promotions proposed in view of the workforce concerned: 6 and 7 promotions for the years 2017 and 2018 for 86 agents as of September 1, 2017, a possible multi-annual programming of competitions without firm commitment from the ministry, and the number of places in internal competitions which would remain insufficient. Also, the FEP-CFDT requests that more resources be given to private agricultural education agents so that they can exercise their profession in decent conditions of practice and career development. He would therefore like to know whether he plans to take significant and lasting reclassification measures for these agents.

Question 17275 — energy and fuels

France · National Assembly

Mr. Vincent Descoeur draws the attention of the Minister of State, Minister of Ecological and Inclusive Transition, to the strong concerns raised by the President of the Republic's announcement of the tripling of the onshore wind farm to bring the number of machines to 24,000 throughout the country. This will have the consequence of distorting the landscapes, compromising the living environment of thousands of inhabitants and the tourist attractiveness of the territories. Furthermore, there is a fear of an increase in the price of electricity even though the Court of Auditors, in a March 2018 report, denounced the exorbitant cost and inefficiency of intermittent renewable energies such as wind power, which has become the symbol of the energy transition. Indeed, the amount of public financing resulting from contracts signed before 2017 for the benefit of original electricity producers wind and photovoltaic would amount to 121 billion euros over fifteen years. Furthermore, this decision ignores the fears and anger of tens of thousands of people who see their living environment degraded, suffering from these machines which reach heights greater than 200 meters 500 meters from their homes. Anger reignited by the publication of recent decree no. 2018-1054 of November 29, 2018 relating to onshore wind turbines, environmental authorization and containing various provisions for simplification and clarification of environmental law, published on December 1. This decree introduces the removal of a level of jurisdiction. It thus deprives citizens of the fundamental right to defend themselves free of charge in first instance before administrative courts and provides for the crystallization of means, which prohibits applicants from invoking new legal arguments after a period of two months (instead of 4 months today) from the communication to the parties of the first defense. A second decree no. 2018-1277 of December 24, 2018 aims to test a right to derogate from the provisions relating to public inquiries in the regions of Brittany and Hauts-de-France. These legal exceptions are seen as provocations. He asks her how the Government intends to establish a society of trust and solidarity by thus reducing the rights of associations and citizens on projects having an impact on their daily lives and their environment. He asks him if he is considering a moratorium on onshore industrial wind power and if he plans to take stock of the advantages and disadvantages of this renewable energy.

Question 12492 — road safety

France · National Assembly

Mr. Vincent Descoeur draws the attention of the Minister, to the Minister of State, Minister for Ecological and Inclusive Transition, responsible for transport, to the consequences of the implementation of the reduction in the maximum authorized speed to 80 km/h on the secondary road network. As was predictable, this measure, which came into force on July 1, 2018, led to an explosion in speeding offenses, the number of which would have doubled during the month of July 2018 alone. This situation is particularly penalizing for professionals who, because they cover significant distances each year on the road, find themselves exposed to loss of points for small speeding violations and take the risk of losing their job with their driving license. He asks him if, following the implementation of this limitation of speed which constitutes a major modification of the highway code, the Government plans to adjust the scale of sanctions provided for by the highway code for speeding accordingly, in particular to prevent speeding of less than 10 km/h from leading to a loss of points.

Mr. Vincent Descoeur draws the attention of the Minister of Solidarity and Health to the concerns that have been raised among widows and widowers and, more broadly, in public opinion, by the debate on a possible calling into question of the survivor's pension system, following the work of the High Commission for Pension Reform. All schemes combined, 4.4 million people are affected by reversion, including 1 million, mostly women (96%), do not have any other retirement pension of their own. The survivor's pension system contributes significantly to reducing inequalities between men and women, the latter representing 89% of beneficiaries and receiving pensions on average 40% lower than those of men due to shorter or interrupted careers. In particular, they enable the surviving spouse to cope with charges which are not halved upon the death of the spouse. This is why he asks him to specify the Government's intentions regarding the sustainability of the survivor's pension system, any possible reform projects to which it could be subject and the objectives of these projects.

Mr. Vincent Descoeur draws the attention of the Minister of Solidarity and Health to the incomprehension that the ministerial decree of February 3, 2018 relating to training in chiropractic which attributes to chiropractors part of the care acts covered by the decree on the act and practice of masseurs-physiotherapists, arouses among professionals of the Order of masseurs-physiotherapists. This decree contains, in fact, a reference of activities and skills which go well beyond simple joint manipulation and largely encroach on the field of functional rehabilitation, the actions of which are included in the public health code. It results in sharing an entire field of functional rehabilitation between chiropractors who are not recognized as health professionals and physiotherapists, a registered, defined and defined health profession. framed as such by the public health code.
