Mr. Dominique Potier draws the attention of the Minister of National Education and Youth to the consequences of the baccalaureate reform on artistic options. Until the reform of the baccalaureate, optional options offered high school students the possibility of regular artistic practice as well as the valorization of their work by obtaining points in the baccalaureate (points above 10 being doubled for the first option). However, the 2021 baccalaureate reform includes options for continuous assessment, which itself will represent 40% of the final grade. This reform risks penalizing artistic options to the extent that it is feared that high school students will abandon three hours of teaching per week which would not be valued in the final exam. If this reform were to lead to a drop in numbers within artistic options, and therefore With class closures, a cultural void is to be feared for certain high schools and territories. Furthermore, the announcement made by the Minister of National Education and Youth on the special status of Latin and ancient Greek, which not only will be taken into account in the continuous assessment grade but will also earn bonus points in the new baccalaureate, generates inequality between the options and suggests that not all are equal. He therefore asks him what measures are envisaged to maintain the attractiveness of the artistic options in the new baccalaureate.

Mr. Dominique Potier draws the attention of the Keeper of the Seals, Minister of Justice, to the working conditions of prison staff in terms of security. The serious attack on two guards at the Condé-sur-Sarthe prison on March 5, 2019 once again shows their very great vulnerability, particularly in the event of prepared and determined actions in a context of radicalization. In addition to strengthening the systems compensation and the acceleration of recruitment measures, the measures announced in January 2018 should result in a significant improvement in security conditions with: increasing the capacity to deal with so-called dangerous or proselytizing profiles to the tune of 1,500 places, including 450 at the end of 2018; the establishment of a specific assessment unit for radicalized common law prisoners as well as the doubling of the capacity to assess Islamist and radicalized terrorist detainees (thus increasing to 250 detainees per year); the renewal, part of which before summer 2018, of the provision of individual equipment and technical means of communication and alarm; improving cell security devices (handcuffs, door stops); the reassessment of the search system in penitentiary establishments. At this last subject, the report of the parliamentary mission entrusted to MM. Xavier Breton and Dimitri Houbron produced, among others, three specific proposals on searches, including that of enshrining in law the jurisprudence of the Council of State allowing the establishment of a regime of systematic searches for certain particularly dangerous prisoners over a limited period. Supplemented by the development of cyno-technical teams and millimeter wave gantries, this provision is likely, in compliance with European prison rules, to significantly improve the security conditions of prison staff. He wishes to know the degree of deployment of the security measures announced in January 2018 as well as the prospects for implementation within the framework of the prison plan of the proposals of the parliamentary information mission relating to to the regime of searches in detention.

Mr. Dominique Potier alerts the Prime Minister to the worrying situation suffered by several residents of Meurthe-et-Moselle following the drought phenomena which have affected France since 2015 and the direct consequences of which are the movement of clay present in the soil. Homes are affected every year by the appearance of cracks, some of which are large and get worse over the months. THE public infrastructures are also affected (roads impassable due to embankment sliding, closures of rooms due to the appearance of excessively large cracks, etc.). However, the lack of recognition of a natural disaster prevents fair compensation for victims. A collective of around forty municipalities in Murhe-et-Mosellane has also filed a request with the administrative court of Nancy with a view to the cancellation of the decree of November 22, 2016, refusing recognition of the state of natural disaster for the summer of 2015. A new appeal was also filed in 2018 following the drought episode of the same year. The number of homes affected has been increasing over the years. In addition, residents affected by these phenomena face insurance companies who often seek to avoid compensation by filing insufficient expertise to which the victims are not able to provide a second opinion. He therefore asks by what means the State could take into account the consequences of climate change and guarantee that insurance companies assume their responsibilities towards their policyholders in this situation.

Mr. Dominique Potier draws the attention of the Minister of Solidarity and Health to the lack of recognition of the home help profession. Present alongside people who are dependent due to age or disability, home helpers carry out essential daily tasks, reassure families and bring comfort to homes. Their action allows for dignified home care. However, this profession suffers today of a lack of attractiveness which strains the job market and home helpers can no longer meet the demand for help and support that dependent individuals would need due to the lack of labor. This lack of attractiveness is attributable to poor working conditions. In 2014, the information report made on behalf of the Senate Social Affairs Committee on home help by Senators Jean-Marie Vanlerenberghe and Dominique Watrin presented data from the General Directorate of Social Cohesion (DGCS): home helpers were paid on average 832 euros net per month (the average salary being 1,190 euros net for employees working full-time and 717 euros net for those working part-time). At the same time, the average net salary in France was 2,225 euros. Intervention with a fragile and dependent public, atypical hours that are difficult to reconcile with family life, as well as the constantly increasing workload make the conditions of practice of the profession challenging. These working conditions make home helpers a population at risk in terms of sick leave and work accidents. Since the signing of the national collective agreement for the branch of help, support, care and home services of May 21, 2010, the amount of the mileage allowance for home help, set at 0.35 euros/km (including 0.13 euros for fuel), has not changed, unlike the prices of fuel and the number of trips made each day. Thus, he asks him to ensure that proactive measures are taken to revalorize the profession of home help and ensure its fair remuneration.

Mr. Dominique Potier alerts the Secretary of State to the Minister of the Economy and Finance on article 8 bis B of the so-called “Pact” bill, which removes a device adopted in the EGAlim law, aimed at prohibiting, from January 1, 2022, the production, storage and circulation of plant protection products containing active substances not approved by Community law. Realism does not involve opposing economics and ecology but on the contrary to create, in particular by law, the conditions for transitions allowing these two requirements to be reconciled. The economy cannot be consolidated sustainably by freeing itself from fundamental ethical principles. Agreeing to expose other human beings, other territories, to uses that France would have refused for itself is not ethically acceptable and is not in the country's own interest in term in an increasingly interdependent world. The sustainability of productive employment in France must be the subject of all attention. However, the giants of the phytopharmaceutical industry have the financial means and time necessary to replace the incriminated molecules with alternative solutions and thus guarantee the sustainability of French production sites. Furthermore, from a systemic point of view, the models agricultural projects based on agroecology generate more jobs than those based on agrochemicals. The threat of intra-community competition does not seem a valid argument. On the one hand, Regulation No. 649/2012 of the European Parliament and of the Council of July 4, 2012 concerning exports and imports of dangerous chemicals recalls in paragraph 4 of its preamble, with regard to the application of the Rotterdam Convention: "The Convention recognizes the parties' right, to better protect human health and the environment, to take stricter measures than those provided for by the Convention, provided that they are compatible with the provisions of the latter and in accordance with the rules of international law. In order to strengthen the level of protection of the environment and the population in importing countries, it is necessary and appropriate to go beyond the provisions of the convention in certain aspects. On the other hand, the most effective path to bringing about new European regulations remains the courage and exemplary nature of the Member States. To renounce legislating in this area would be to recognize a form of public powerlessness in the face of the law of the market, while the way could be opened to supporting the conversion of industries concerned, European advocacy for a directive based on reciprocity and the strengthening of international cooperation to make France one of the leaders in agroecology in the world. Concerning the health and ecological impacts, he asks what information he is aware of on the list of formulations which, having not obtained marketing authorizations from the authorities French or European, are produced on French soil and exported to third countries; on the health or environmental reasons which motivated the refusal by these authorities; as well as the countries that import these products. Concerning the economic and social impacts, he asks what details he knows about the mapping of the dominant actors, established on French territory, affected by this arrangement ; on the number of full-time equivalents concerned, their median remuneration and their distribution between production, research or administrative activities; on the share of profits of these companies generated on French and European soil over the last five years; on the amount of investments made in France by these companies over the same period and their share in the total investments made by these; finally on the amount of research tax credits (CIR) from which these companies benefited and on the projects towards which they were directed.

Mr. Dominique Potier alerts the Minister of Agriculture and Food to the absence of partial reimbursement of the TICPE on the GNR for agricultural companies in difficulty. The instruction of June 4, 2018 allows, for 2017 deliveries, agricultural professionals to be granted a partial reimbursement of taxes collected on fuels used on their farm. These taxes are the domestic consumption tax on gas natural (TICGN) and the internal consumption tax on energy products (TICPE). He was questioned by the Solidarité Paysans association and other agricultural organizations on the situation of companies in difficulty, within the meaning of EU Regulation No. 651/2014. Since these cannot benefit from state aid, partial reimbursements of TICPE on the GNR cannot be granted to them. However, there is no justification for farmers to difficulty are deprived of this aid, even though they benefit from European production aid. In a situation of economic difficulty, the absence of this partial reimbursement amounts to subjecting these farmers to a double penalty. He asks him what solutions are possible to overcome this situation.

Mr. Dominique Potier alerts the Minister of State, Minister of Ecological and Inclusive Transition, to the saturation of waste storage facilities in the Grand Est region and the threat of health and environmental disorders that results from this. This saturation situation seems to be partly the result of a reduction in administrative quotas in application of the law relating to the energy transition for green growth. THE quotas of waste authorized to be directed to storage facilities no longer make it possible today to find a treatment solution for the non-recyclable residual fraction irremediably produced after the waste recycling process. Faced with the accumulation of final waste on the sites of recycling companies, several recycling installations have already been shut down and will no longer be able to ensure the recovery of certain waste, such as end-of-life vehicles, scrap metal from recycling centers or waste electrical and electronic equipment. Storage capacities have been reached in the Grand Est region, resulting in waste dumped on public roads or in natural environments, an increase in fire risks due to the increase in quantities accumulated upstream, shutdowns recycling facilities which will no longer be able to sort household recyclable waste from selective collections or the recovery of materials from end-of-life vehicles, interruptions in collection at recycling centers. Without an outlet for this ultimate waste, recycling sectors will have to consider temporary shutdowns in the Grand Est region, with health, environmental and economic consequences (weakening of the regional economic chain, technical unemployment for many employees) significant. The lack of visibility regarding monthly volume commitments from storage facilities further complicates the situation for 2019. He points out the proposals he has made as part of the European proposal for a resolution relating to the life cycle of products and the saving of resources that he has presented in 2015 and asks him what measures are planned to deal with this crisis situation.

Mr. Dominique Potier draws the attention of the Minister of State, Minister for Ecological and Inclusive Transition, to securing the energy saving certificate system. France's situation in terms of energy transition is far from satisfactory. Article 7 of European Directive 2012/27/EU on energy efficiency requires Member States to reduce their energy consumption by 1.5% per year (excluding transport sector). However, France is falling behind on its objectives: in 2017, according to the Climate-Energy Observatory, France exceeded its final energy consumption objective by 4.2%. In this context, the renovation of the building stock, which represents 45% of the country's energy consumption, is a major issue. Among the support mechanisms for the energy renovation of buildings (tax credit for the transition energy, zero-rate eco-loan, value added tax at 5.5% for work to improve energy quality, aid from the “Living Better” program of the National Housing Agency, energy check, exemption from property tax for energy saving work, etc.), energy savings certificates (CEE) constitute a powerful mass tool in favor of the fight against energy poverty. So, with a target of 1,600 TWh cumac of energy savings, including 400 TWh cumac for the benefit of households experiencing energy poverty, the amount of obligations weighing on energy suppliers for the period 2018 and 2020 is estimated at nearly 9 billion euros, or approximately ten times the annual cost of the tax credit for the energy transition (879 million euros in 2019). From 2006 to 2014, the General Directorate of Energy and of the climate estimates that the CEE system has contributed to the financing of energy saving work to the tune of 24 billion euros. The system is particularly advantageous for the five million households in a situation of fuel poverty (according to figures from the National Energy Poverty Observatory) thanks to the establishment of so-called “precariousness” CEEs and it has sought since January 1, 2018 to achieve the objective eradication of fuel poverty in ten years. The security of the system, particularly with regard to the most vulnerable for attic insulation work, is however called into question following scandals denounced by TRACFIN in 2016. Although these frauds only concern a marginal proportion, they nevertheless constitute a direct threat to the CEE system, by weakening both its credibility and its effectiveness. The obliged who have purchased EECs issued on a fraudulent basis may also be exposed to late cancellation of the EECs, which generates insecurity that is all the greater as the sums involved are significant. The Government reacted by establishing systematic field control, by a control body, of hot water network insulation operations as well as an experiment since April 1, 2018 with random controls on 5 to 10% of attic insulation projects carried out for the benefit of households experiencing energy poverty. He also announced that he was considering, based on feedback, a possible generalization of on-site controls by a third party from 2019. However, systematic field control will not restore the legitimate confidence in the system that it should have. This measure indeed risks to be ineffective in securing the system, on the one hand because generalized on-site checks represent a cost for those obliged, who will ultimately pass it on to the consumer. On the other hand, since the control of the eligibility of an energy efficiency action is carried out after the action has been carried out, there is a risk of refusal to pay EECs which could have budgetary consequences for the household. Instead that such a measure, the establishment of a quality process detailing according to a rigorous procedure all the points to be verified for the EEC application file to be validated by the national center for energy savings certificates would be more effective. Thus, he asks him to consider the idea of labeling a quality process, in order to guarantee the professionalism of CEE certifiers and to clean up an efficient market. and committing France to respect its international climate commitments.

Mr. Dominique Potier alerts the Minister of Agriculture and Food to the strategic orientations currently followed by the National Forestry Office (ONF), which raise concerns about the future of the Office and could weaken its role in the fight against climate change. From mainland France to overseas, the ONF manages nearly 11 million hectares of public forests belonging to the State and local authorities. The French forest is the third largest European forest in terms of surface area (apart from the Guyanese forest). It is the main European forest in terms of biodiversity both in terms of the plant species that make it up and the wildlife that inhabits it. It is one of the major lungs of Europe and the main natural instrument in the fight against global warming. It represents 25% of the surface national forest. Finally, it is the main source of wood production in France. The ONF's missions are located at the crossroads of economic, ecological and social issues, which makes it a key player in the service of sustainable development and the energy transition. Every day, foresters ensure the maintenance, development and renewal of forests and natural spaces. With his experience of Manager of public forests, the ONF offers services to communities, businesses and individuals wishing to enhance their natural spaces. At the request of the State, the ONF also carries out several missions of general interest in the field of natural risks: protection of the coastline, restoration of mountain terrain or even defense of forests against fires. However, in a financial context difficult and faced with hundreds of job cuts in the years to come, the ONF seems to be turning towards a policy of increased logging, to the detriment of sustainable forest management. The directions pursued thus lead to the abandonment of sovereign missions of territorial surveillance by armed agents of the ONF, to an end to its environmental missions which guarantee a good state of the forest and forestry environments or even an irreversible loss of skills due to the reduction in competitive recruitment (particularly of forestry engineers). This situation clearly jeopardizes the ability of the French State not only to generate a sustainable profit from the exploitation of its forests, but also to fight against climate change. He therefore asks for more transparency on the maintenance of service missions public of the National Forestry Office and calls on it to maintain among its primary concerns the environmental services provided by forests and their biodiversity, particularly in the face of global warming.

M. Dominique Potier alerte Mme la ministre des solidarités et de la santé sur les conditions de travail des 661 000 infirmiers de France, qui représentent près d'un soignant sur deux. La surcharge de travail et le personnel insuffisant entraînent une frustration et un mal-être des infirmiers en poste et en cours d'apprentissage. Ils sont divisés entre leurs valeurs de soignants et la charge de travail qui doit être réalisée dans un temps imparti souvent trop court. Le manque de personnel oblige les infirmiers de structures à revenir travailler sur leurs temps de repos. Les étudiants font parfois office de main-d'œuvre bon marché pour équilibrer les plannings ou les arrêts non remplacés. La charge de travail conduit à une déshumanisation des soins prodigués aux patients. Ce rythme de travail important, la demande d'une polyvalence absolue sans accompagnement, la non-prise en compte des compétences et plus généralement le manque de considération conduisent à l'épuisement professionnel, voire au suicide. Les 90 000 étudiants infirmiers de France ne font pas exception et subissent directement les mauvaises conditions de travail de leurs encadrants. Selon l'étude « Mal-être des étudiants en soins infirmiers: il est temps d'agir » (septembre 2017) de la Fédération nationale des étudiants en soins infirmiers, la situation est alarmante: à titre indicatif, plus de 40 % des étudiants en soins infirmiers déclarent consommer des médicaments psychotropes, plus de 30 % faire des crises d'angoisses et un sur deux avoir vu sa santé physique et psychologique se dégrader au cours de sa formation. Le montant même de la rémunération des infirmiers est parmi les moins bons des pays de l'Organisation de coopération et de développement économiques (OCDE): selon le Panorama de la Santé 2017 de l'OCDE, la rémunération moyenne des infirmiers à l'hôpital équivaut à 0,95 fois le salaire moyen national en France, quand il est en moyenne 1,14 fois supérieur au salaire moyen dans les pays de l'OCDE à 29. La situation est identique pour les étudiants infirmiers, qui reçoivent une indemnité de stage de 28 euros par semaine en première année et de 50 euros en fin de formation, sans aucune compensation financière particulière lorsqu'ils travaillent de nuit ou le week-end. Les conditions d'exercice des infirmiers en libéral, maillon essentiel de la continuité territoriale en matière de santé, leur permettent toujours plus difficilement de prendre en charge les soins à domicile humainement, partout et pour tous, notamment du fait d'une nomenclature des actes médicaux incohérente et incomplète. La richesse du système de santé français ne réside pas dans sa rentabilité, mais repose sur ses soignants expérimentés. Dès lors, une revalorisation du ratio soignant-soigné semble indispensable pour permettre d'accueillir au mieux une population qui a évolué (vieillissante, polypathologique, parfois précaire). Par ailleurs, une nouvelle formation des directeurs d'établissement et des cadres de santé à la prise en charge des risques psychosociaux ainsi que des techniques d'encadrement qui favorisent le bien-être au travail pour s'attaquer efficacement à l'épuisement professionnel des soignants sont à mettre en place. Enfin, une meilleure prise en compte de la fatigue physique du corps des soignants, avec de vraies propositions de reclassement et une reconnaissance des congés pour longue maladie, est nécessaire. Pour les infirmiers libéraux, la reconnaissance de tous les nouveaux soins non énumérés et non codifiés ainsi que la réévaluation de la nomenclature de la sécurité sociale régissant la facture des libéraux et ne permettant pas actuellement une prise en charge cohérente des soins à domicile s'imposent. Le plan « Ma santé 2022 », annoncé par le Gouvernement en septembre 2018, ne répond pas aux attentes des infirmiers, qu'il évoque d'ailleurs à peine. Sur un budget de 3,4 milliards d'euros d'ici 2022, seuls 920 millions y sont consacrés à l'investissement hospitalier. Il l'interroge donc sur la manière dont le Gouvernement se propose de réellement prendre en compte les revendications légitimes du corps infirmier, indispensables pour garantir la santé des soignants et celles de leurs patients et essentielles à la pérennité d'un système de soins de qualité digne d'un État-providence à la française.

M. Dominique Potier alerte M. le ministre de l'agriculture et de l'alimentation sur l'urgence de créer une autorité unique de contrôle sur la chaîne alimentaire, dans le cadre d'une approche globale des risques intégrant enjeux sanitaires et lutte contre les pratiques frauduleuses ou trompeuses. Au début du mois de décembre 2017, la révélation de la mise sur le marché de laits infantiles contaminés par des salmonelles par l'entreprise Lactalis a mis en évidence des dysfonctionnements dans le dispositif de sécurisation sanitaire de la chaîne alimentaire. Des propositions aimed at améliorer le fonctionnement des autorités compétentes, voire à mettre en place une autorité unique de contrôle, ont ensuite été formulées dans un rapport d'information du Sénat (n° 403 du 5 avril 2018) ainsi que par la commission d'enquête mise en place par l'national assembly et présidée par le député Christian Hutin (n° 1179 du 19 juillet 2018). Ces propositions rejoignent par ailleurs les dispositions prévues par le règlement européen du 15 mars 2017, qui fixe le cadre des contrôles officiels sur the whole of la chaîne alimentaire, et dont l'entrée en application est prévue pour le 14 décembre 2019. article 1er de ce règlement précise que les contrôles officiels doivent prendre en compte une approche globale des risques, associant aux enjeux de sécurité et de salubrité ceux qui visent à garantir, par des pratiques commerciales loyales, la protection et l'information des consommateurs. En effet, pour des raisons liées à la mondialisation des échanges, à la complexification des circuits commerciaux et à une pression toujours plus forte sur les prix, ces deux enjeux sont devenus étroitement liés. Un problème sanitaire peut révéler l'existence d'une fraude (ce fut le cas des œufs contaminés au fipronil à l'été 2017), de la même façon qu'une fraude peut soulever des questions sur la sécurité de la chaîne alimentaire (comme dans le cas du scandale de la viande de cheval en 2013). L'affaire Lactalis a mis au jour un éclatement des compétences et une dilution des responsabilités entre la direction générale de l'alimentation (DGAL), qui dépend du ministère de l'agriculture et de l'alimentation, et la direction générale de la concurrence, de la consommation et de la répression des fraudes (DGCCRF), rattachée quant à elle au ministère de l'économie et des finances. Ainsi, les établissements fabriquant des poudres de lait infantile sont soumis à un agrément sanitaire délivré par les services de la DGAL, mais la DGCCRF dispose d'une compétence spécifique dans le secteur de l'alimentation infantile. Afin de mettre un terme à cette situation, à la fois inefficace et peu lisible pour les citoyens, la première étape pour la mise en place d'une police unifiée consisterait à regrouper sous une même autorité the whole ofs missions de surveillance et de contrôle liées à la sécurité sanitaire de la chaîne alimentaire. Néanmoins, cette option, limitée aux enjeux sanitaires, impliquerait le maintien d'une seconde autorité de contrôle, chargée elle de la lutte contre les pratiques frauduleuses ou trompeuses. Dans cette hypothèse, le nouveau règlement européen précise que l'État membre doit désigner une autorité unique de coordination. Cette fonction d'autorité unique pourrait ressembler à celle, si l'on compare avec la lutte contre le terrorisme, attribuée à la direction générale de la sécurité intérieure (DGSI) en tant que chef de file du nouveau plan d'action contre le terrorisme. De manière plus ambitieuse, une seconde option pourrait donc conduire à regrouper sous une même autorité the whole ofs services assurant des missions de contrôle officiel sur la chaîne alimentaire, qu'il s'agisse des enjeux sanitaires ou de ceux liés à la lutte contre les pratiques frauduleuses ou trompeuses. Cette réforme de l'organisation administrative des contrôles pourrait se concevoir sous différentes formes: premièrement, un ministère reconnu leader avec une direction générale de ce même ministère rassemblant the whole ofs compétences actuellement réparties entre la DGAL et la DGCCRF; deuxièmement, une direction interministérielle, rattachée au Premier ministre, regroupant les compétences et les moyens des deux ministères; troisièmement, un établissement public placé sous la tutelle des différents ministères concernés. Il y a tout juste vingt ans, les crises sanitaires du sang contaminé et de la vache folle avaient conduit à l'adoption, sur une initiative parlementaire, de la loi du 1er juillet 1998, qui avait permis de structurer le dispositif public d'évaluation des risques. Le moment est venu aujourd'hui de renforcer la gouvernance de la gestion des risques sur la chaîne alimentaire. C'est la raison pour laquelle il lui demande donc de renforcer aujourd'hui la gouvernance de la gestion des risques en créant une autorité unique de contrôle sanitaire sur la chaîne alimentaire.

M.

Cette annonce by the government semble aller à contre-courant de l'objectif d'« accueillir plus d'étudiants étrangers », afin « d'atteindre 500 000 étudiants en mobilité à l'horizon 2027 », comme annoncé par le Premier ministre lors des rencontres universitaires de la francophonie le 19 novembre 2018. À compter de 2019, une année de licence coûtera en effet 2 770 euros contre 170 euros par an en 2018 pour les étudiants étrangers hors Union européenne, et 3 770 euros contre 243 euros aujourd'hui. A l'heure où la France souhaite renforcer sa politique d'aide publique au développement, et où un accent particulier est mis à la coopération Europe-Afrique, la sélection économique opérée par cette augmentation des frais d'inscriptions semble alors aller à contrario du multilatéralisme revendiqué. Par ailleurs, cette réforme induirait que les universités se dotent d'une mission nouvelle de contrôle de la situation juridique, relevant pourtant du champ de compétence préfectoral. En effet, le montant des droits d'inscription dépendant de leur statut, celles-ci devront contrôler les titres des étudiants. Compte tenu des obstacles administratifs préexistants pour ces étudiants, et de ces annonces récentes, il lui demande quelles mesures entend-elle envisager pour encadrer cette augmentation des frais d'inscription pour ces étudiants.

Mr. Dominique Potier draws the attention of the Minister of Sports to the difficulties encountered by pony clubs and equestrian centers, small non-relocatable agricultural businesses present throughout France, both in rural and urban areas, whose commitment is daily to make a living from their professional activity and maintain employment. Pony clubs and equestrian centers face inappropriate indirect taxation following the condemnation of France by the Court of Justice of the European Union, on March 8, 2012 (CJEU, March 8, 2012, European Commission against the French Republic, Case C-596/10). This conviction resulted in the application of the normal rate of value added tax and had repercussions on practice. Despite the efforts made by many clubs not to increase prices, a very significant decline is observed in national level, increasing, according to the French Equestrian Federation, from 700,000 to 625,000 licensees in 5 years. If the Equestrian Fund, created after the condemnation of France for abandonment by the State of levy on horse racing, was able for three years to offset part of the effects of the increase in the value added tax rate for subject structures, it died out in 2017 in the absence of a prospective strategy for the perpetuate. Difficulties therefore continue for pony clubs and equestrian centers which, unlike many other sporting activities and with rare exceptions, are not organized in an associative form and, as such, do not benefit from public equipment and subsidies. In addition, they must ensure all investment and operating costs for their work tool, regardless of constraints. economic conditions and the consequences linked to reforms such as that of school schedules. In light of the proposal made by the European Commission on January 18, 2018 aimed at modifying Directive 2006/112/EC with regard to value added tax rates, he asks whether government support is envisaged to stabilize the legal situation of equestrian centers, perpetuate their development model and make it possible to save equestrian activities in rural areas.

En effet, lorsqu'un agriculteur a un revenu fiscal très faible, environ 50 % du SMIC, les autorités compétentes peuvent lui permettre d'accéder à ces droits. Pour pouvoir prétendre au RSA, l'exploitant agricole doit avoir un revenu inférieur à 10 000 euros. Or le revenu fiscal est calculé sur la base d'un abattement de 87 % du total de ses ventes et des primes, à l'exception de l'ICHN qui est elle est comptabilisée sans abattement.

Mr. Dominique Potier questions the Minister of the Economy and Finance on the removal of the tax advantage for SCICs (cooperative societies of collective interest). The finance bill for 2019 puts a stop, via its article 11 paragraph 8, to the development of cooperative societies of collective interest (SCIC) by requesting the elimination of their tax advantage, thus endangering companies which, for 17 years, have contributed to the creation of jobs, solidarity, economic value and social value. This decision is in total opposition to the PACTE bill which seeks to modify the civil code to put the collective interest and social and environmental issues at the heart of companies' purpose. Under the pretext of fighting against tax loopholes, the PLF 2019 therefore plans to eliminate the tax advantage granted to cooperative companies of collective interest. As their name indicates, these companies nevertheless serve a general interest: they are companies that create economic activity, wealth and employment while seeking a positive impact on their environment, territories and social ties. They are non-profit, which means that they reinvest all their surpluses in their economic and social project. Social entrepreneurship is a path to the future to enable companies to create economic value and employment while benefiting the territories, solidarity and the most vulnerable citizens. Thus, he asks it not to eliminate the legitimate counterparts of the participation of cooperative societies of collective interest in public action and solidarity.

Mr. Dominique Potier questions the Minister of Action and Public Accounts about the VAT rate to which prostheses intended for disabled sports are subject. For 30 years, research into large equipment has been the subject of rapid implementation. They have enabled people deprived of one or more limbs to better cope with their disability. This is the case for prostheses which compensate for the movement of running by 90% to 95%. These prostheses allow amputee children to enjoy the right to run. This practice of sport is essential for the psychomotor development of children, as well as for the balance of adults. However, the cost of this large orthopedic equipment is often a barrier for amputees and their families. This financial limit is partly offset by the action of associations which since 2014 work for free access, via equipment loans, to “running blades” and other equipment. However, these prostheses are classified as “leisure” devices and are therefore not reimbursed by social security. While refundable products benefit from a reduced value added tax rate of 5.5%, leisure equipment is subject to a rate of 20%, which weakens the effect of the associative fundraising work. He asks for his position on harmonization of the “Handisport” VAT rate with that already applying to the equipment defined by the list of reimbursable products and services provided for in Article L. 165-1 of the Social Security Code.

Mr. Dominique Potier draws the attention of the Minister of Culture to the difficulties encountered by community radio stations. True vectors of local energies and players in the associative world, they have played a vital civic role since the 1980s by speaking out and promoting territorial initiatives. However, for several years now, they have been experiencing serious difficulties linked on the one hand to the drop in funding and another to the cumbersome administrative files required to obtain them. During the 2018 congress of the National Confederation of Community Radios, their volunteers and employees expressed their concern about the ability they will have in the short term to be able to maintain their activities, today more concerned with “finding funds than working on the development of their programs”. Given the essential role that hold these associative radio stations in the territories, of the growing success which is theirs (2 Médiamétrie audience points in 2017), he asks them what measures are in perspective today in order to support their activity and their development and guarantee their survival in the face of the hazards encountered by the majority of them.

Mr. Dominique Potier alerts the Secretary of State, to the Minister of Action and Public Accounts, of the growing exasperation of the 17 million retirees (source DREES, Retirees and Retirements, 2018 edition) in the face of the accumulation of measures restricting their purchasing power. The average monthly amount of a direct pension (including increase for children) is 1,294 euros net per retiree and a third of retirees receive a total pension of less than 1,000 euros gross monthly. After a 1.7% increase in the CSG on January 1, 2018, the Council of Ministers validated the provisions of the finance bill aimed at not increasing pensions in 2018 and only increasing those for 2019 and 2020 by 0.3%, while at the same time inflation is rising again (1.7% today and 2% for the year). 2019). As a reform of the pensions, it is essential to contain the decline in the purchasing power of the poorest retirees. The Observatory of Inequalities showed in 2013 that on average a retired executive received a total amount of retirement pensions 2.4 times higher than a worker and that the gap in life expectancy without disability between senior executives and workers was 10 years in favor of the former. He therefore asks him to ensure that he maintains a decent purchasing power of retirees taking into account the link between the arduousness of the work, life expectancy and the duration of contributions in order to allow everyone to benefit in good conditions from a retirement allowing them to continue to play a role in society, within families, in associations and more generally in civil society.

Mr. Dominique Potier questions the Minister of Labor on the planned absorption of local missions by Pôle emploi, announced by Prime Minister Edouard Philippe in July 2018, since confirmed by the disclosure of a confidential note from the Ministry of Labor and, later, by the Minister of Labor in the Senate. Present throughout the national territory and the first national network to welcome and support 1.5 million young people, local missions have fulfilled a public service mission for 35 years. Invented and implemented by Bertrand Schwartz in the early 1980s, they are not aimed, like Pôle emploi, at adults who have already, more or less, worked and are looking for work, but at young people aged 16 to 25, in construction, who are experiencing difficulties for various reasons: insufficient professional qualifications, absence networks of relationships, lack of self-confidence, health problems, psychological concerns, difficulties accessing housing, failing family relationships or critical legal or judicial situations. Local missions welcome, inform, guide and support young people, without obligation and without risk of radiation, so that they carry out their projects and become independent. Comprehensive support for each young person in its irreducible specificity has little connection with the action of Pôle emploi, focused solely on putting the unemployed back into employment, even if access to employment is also an objective of local missions, as the term of their support. The National Union of Local Missions (UNML) is alarmed at not having been consulted on this possible absorption which would give Pôle emploi complete freedom to approach elected officials to take it back from them responsibility for management dialogues. She fears that the organization, cost and performance of Pôle emploi will not meet the challenges of supporting job seekers and the expectations of companies looking for skills. Currently, more than 30% of young people supported by the network of local missions, particularly the most deprived, are not registered with Pôle emploi whose support methods are not adapted, or even exclude them. The UNML fears, through this possible absorption, a calling into question of the specificity of the global and personalized support of young people and of the territorial anchoring of local missions, with the strong political and financial commitment of elected officials, guarantee of the performance of their actions. He wishes to obtain confirmation from the Government of the determining role currently played by local missions in functioning of which local authorities contribute in a decisive manner. This role was also defended by the Assembly of Mayors of Meurthe-et-Moselle, via the unanimous adoption of a motion on the maintenance of current local missions during their general assembly of October 20, 2018 as well as by the elected representatives of the communities of communes of the Terres-de-Lorraine country during their board of directors meeting of October 19 2018. He asks if the absorption project were to be confirmed, what the implementation modalities would be and what the commitment to improvement would be in favor of the public concerned.

Mr. Dominique Potier alerts the Minister to the Minister of Territorial Cohesion and Relations with Local Authorities, responsible for cities and housing, about the weakening of the right to housing for the poorest people resulting from the law on the development of housing, development and digital technology (ELAN). Indeed, far from responding to their difficulties in accessing housing, certain measures of this law risk to increase them even further. Although it includes progress in the fight against slumlords and the supervision of tourist rentals, the ELAN law completely ignores the difficulties encountered by the most deprived in finding decent housing, particularly in view of the dismantling of the social housing stock that it establishes. The sale of 40,000 homes per year to compensate for the disengagement of the State and compensate for the cuts budgetary changes made by social landlords, combined with the weakening of the law relating to solidarity and urban renewal, is a real blow to access to housing for the poorest people, especially since the production objective of 40,000 very social housing units per year displayed by the “Housing First” plan is insufficient to compensate for these shortcomings. For most of the poorest people, the Social housing constitutes the only route to decent housing. However, even when a file is recognized as a priority under the enforceable right to housing (DALO), the allocation is a long process: 50,000 families deemed priority are thus waiting for housing, sometimes for several years. In a 2016 report, before the five-euro reduction in personalized housing assistance, the Court of Auditors estimated more than 220,000 the number of households for which social housing was structurally inaccessible. The latter, because they are too poor, are never offered housing or are ultimately refused by the landlords' allocation committees. On September 13, 2018, the President of the Republic announced, during the presentation of the strategy for preventing and combating poverty, that he wanted to eradicate extreme poverty. However, he It is not possible to escape poverty without housing, since the latter is the keystone of access to rights (education, access to work, self-esteem). Today in France, 900,000 people are deprived of personal housing, 1.5 million families are waiting for social housing and 2.7 million households find themselves in a situation of excessive effort, devoting more than 35% of their resources to housing. The model financial support for social housing, based on a high rent compensated by individual aid, is ineffective in the face of the urgency and importance of the challenge to be taken up. There is not only an urgent need to produce more social housing, but also to make it accessible to the poorest people, who find themselves excluded due to lack of sufficient resources. To fight against poverty and the weakening of the right to housing of the poorest, he therefore calls on it to change the financial model of social housing by using article 28 of the ELAN law to experiment with setting rents for social housing based on family income.

Mr. Dominique Potier draws the attention of the Minister of Solidarity and Health to the negative consequences of the finance bill for 2019 on the purchasing power of disabled, disabled, injured and sick people. Announced by the Government as a budget to “reconquer the hearts of the French”, the finance bill for 2019 includes numerous measures to directly reduce the purchasing power of these people. Positive measures cannot make us forget either the regressions or the challenges to the disability law of 2005. The finance bill for 2019 certainly includes positive measures, such as the extension of CMU-C to people eligible for supplementary health assistance on November 1, 2019, the revaluation to 900 euros of the allowance for disabled adults (AAH) in 2019 or the increase in the maximum amount of the supplement of mode of care for families with a child with a disability. However, a series of budgetary measures neutralize the revaluation of the AAH or reduce the purchasing power of beneficiaries of other allowances or benefits. On the one hand, the draft finance law provides in its article 65, for 2019 and 2020, a revaluation limited to 0.3%, i.e. very well below inflation estimated at 1.6%, of disability pensions and pensions for work accidents and occupational diseases. Added to this is the low indexation of other social benefits (notably housing allowances) which will weigh on everyone's budgets. This will result in a sharp drop in purchasing power over the next two years. Furthermore, the legal revaluation of the AAH on April 1, 2019 is canceled, postponing the application of the AAH until December 2019. exceptional revaluation promised by the President of the Republic. To this measure is added in 2020 a revaluation of the AAH at a minimum (up to 0.3%). From 2020, this measure will therefore lead to a drop in purchasing power and will not allow people with disabilities or illnesses to escape the poverty line by the end of the five-year term. Not counting the measures taken in 2018 which will take effect from 2019 on couples who will not be affected by the revaluation of the AAH due to the parametric reforms put in place by the Government. On the other hand, article 83 of the finance bill calls into question the resource guarantee system for the most severely disabled people who have no work capacity adopted in 2005. By wishing to “simplify the AAH supplements”, the Government is removing the resource supplement for the benefit of the independent living increase, the supplement to the lowest amount and subject to the condition of receiving housing assistance. This will constitute a loss of 75 to 179 euros per month for the people concerned. The transitional measure lasting 10 years during which current beneficiaries of the additional resources will be able to continue to benefit from it does not allow long-term projects to be considered for their beneficiaries and, above all, ignores the particular difficulties encountered by these people, whose autonomy is thus insecure. Finally, the Government announced that it wanted to significantly increase (from 18 to 24 euros) the fixed contribution for serious acts. This increase will lead to a significant transfer of burdens to disabled, sick and disabled people, who are particularly affected by this type of care. He therefore questions him about the measures envisaged to compensate for the drop in purchasing power and therefore the loss of autonomy of people with disabilities.

M. Dominique Potier appelle l'attention de M. le ministre de l'agriculture et de l'alimentation sur l'urgence de réformer le système des calamités agricoles pour faire face à la crise agricole. En réponse à l'ampleur et la gravité de la sécheresse qui frappe l'agriculture française, il est capital que ce dernier puisse jouer pleinement sa mission de solidarité. Il en va de la survie d'une part significative des élevages, indispensables à l'économie et à l'emploi des espaces ruraux, de la souveraineté alimentaire de la France et de l'équilibre écologique des systèmes de production. Or le système des calamités pourrait, en l'état, exclure de façon ubuesque une part significative des éleveurs. Le point de blocage principal réside dans la prise en compte dans l’instruction du régime des calamités agricoles d'un plafond de 3 000 Unités fourragères (UF) par Équivalent vache laitière (EVL), totalement désuet au regard des progrès de la génétique végétale et animale ainsi que de l'évolution des modes de production. La deuxième aberration relève du mode de calcul du déficit minimum de 900 UF/EVL ouvrant les droits à indemnisation (soit 30 % de la référence). En effet, la perte de production estimée par l'enquête administrative est déduite du barème départemental et permet de calculer un solde résiduel de production fourragère. Or, lorsque cette donnée est soustraite en valeur absolue du plafond de référence, cela peut conduire mécaniquement à un chiffre inférieur à celui du déficit minimum requis, alors même que le pourcentage de perte réel est nettement supérieur. À titre d'exemple, la Meurthe-et-Moselle a subi, sur environ 100 000 ha (toutes productions fourragères confondues), une perte de 43 % de ses récoltes en moyenne pondérée, soit 1 900 UFL/EVL. Le barème départemental étant de 4 100 UF/ EVL, le solde résiduel est de 2 200 UF/ EVL. Une fois déduit du plafond de référence national de 3 000 UF/EVL, il est obtenu une perte calculée de 800 UF/EVL, ce qui est inférieur au seuil minimum requis de 900 UF/EVL ! Sur le plan intellectuel, cette façon de compter mêlant valeurs absolues et relatives défie l'entendement... Elle génère sur les territoires une terrible injustice ! L'exemple du Grand Est est particulièrement éclairant, avec 8 départements sur 10 ainsi mis « hors-jeu »... Il est urgent de changer la donne. Par ailleurs, d'autres écueils sont aujourd'hui identifiés sur le terrain, comme la non prise en compte des consommations estivales de fourrage par le cheptel ou la comparaison entre l'année du sinistre et les cinq précédentes. Ce dernier point a pour conséquence de créer une double peine pour les territoires précédemment déjà frappés par la sécheresse. Les pistes de réformes envisageable devront, selon M. le député, porter sur la révision nationale et, le cas échéant, la régionalisation des seuils de références, sur un changement des modes de calcul permettant une association des données plus cohérente et enfin sur l'effacement des années de calamités (annulation ou référence standard) dans les moyennes quinquennales. Pour faire face à la détresse des éleveurs, il souhaite savoir quelles concertations et quel calendrier le ministre entend engager afin de rendre opérationnel le système des calamités et d'en optimiser l'effet à court et moyen terme.

Mr. Dominique Potier draws the attention of the Minister of State, Minister for Ecological and Inclusive Transition, to the free installation of remote displays for precarious households as part of the installation of Linky meters. Initially planned by the law relating to the energy transition and for green growth, the deployment of the remote display is not yet a reality for the French while the deadline of January 1, 2019, although already postponed for a year, has expired. The ministry has not in fact issued the orders to cover the costs of the suppliers who will distribute it. In the meantime, precarious consumers still do not benefit from this display which should allow them to better control their energy consumption and thus obtain gains in purchasing power. Its implementation is demanded by several actors such as such as the UFC-Que Choisir, the Environment and Energy Management Agency, the National Energy Mediator and the Court of Auditors, who consider that it is an essential tool for controlling household energy consumption. While purchasing power and the energy transition were among the recurring themes addressed during the Great National Debate, he asked it to please indicate which the Government's intentions in order to accelerate the implementation of this essential tool for the most precarious consumers.
