Question 5940 — people with disabilities

France · National Assembly

Ms. Nadia Essayan draws the attention of the Minister of Solidarity and Health to the persistent difficulties in accessing books experienced by nearly 1,700,000 French visually impaired people. In recent years, the regulations governing the disability exception have evolved significantly. In particular, the possibility for approved organizations to access publishers' source files marked a remarkable step forward. The joint efforts of Ministry of Culture and Communication as well as publishers to make publishing natively accessible go in the right direction and should facilitate access to general literature. However, given the increasing complexity of works, particularly school or university works (paper or digital version), their editions will probably never be natively accessible. Indeed, adaptation work is and will still be necessary to transcribe them into braille, large print or audio version. While, thanks to the support of public authorities, most children have all their school textbooks available free of charge from the start of the school year, the situation is different for students who are unable to read and particularly blind or severely visually impaired children. Adapted versions are only available after several months and at the price incredible efforts of adaptation artisans who are sorely lacking in resources and support. Less than 5% of works published each year in France end up one day being accessible. In the field of school books more particularly, the shortage reflects indigence. This constitutes discrimination in access to education for young people with disabilities. It seems paradoxical that in the country of human rights which is also that of Louis Braille, the less and less widespread use and teaching of braille has recently been criticized by the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights. Also, it asks what measures it intends to take with regard to the implementation of recommendations 10 and 11 of the report “Structures having an activity of adapting works for the benefit of people with disabilities”: recommendation 10; entrust the National Library of France with responsibility for the collective catalog of the adapted edition in the interests of optimizing public resources and in order to simplify access to the adapted edition offer and recommendation 11; launch a feasibility study on the methods of creating a single reference base for adapted or accessible publishing in France in order to facilitate access for beneficiaries to the entire existing offer and protect authorized structures against legal risks. She asks him what his intentions are regarding the appointment of a project manager to facilitate the implementation and monitoring of the 26 recommendations of the report and to ensure interministerial coordination on the subject of adapted edition.

Ms. Nadia Essayan draws the attention of the Minister of National Education to the persistent difficulties in accessing school books experienced by blind, partially or severely visually impaired students. In recent years, the regulations governing the disability exception have evolved significantly. In particular, the possibility for approved organizations to access publishers' source files marked a remarkable advance. The joint efforts of Ministry of Culture and Communication as well as publishers to make publishing natively accessible go in the right direction and should make it possible, at least in the long term, to facilitate access to general literature.

Question 5938 — people with disabilities

France · National Assembly

L'accès au livre et à la lecture pour les personnes empêchées de lire du fait d'un trouble (dyslexie, dyspraxie, dysphasie…) ou d'un handicap constitue une priorité gouvernementale et ce dossier était à nouveau à l'ordre du jour du dernier comité interministériel pour le handicap, qui s'est tenu le 9 octobre. Le ministère de la culture mène plusieurs actions aimed at améliorer l'accès au livre et à la lecture. En premier lieu, il s'agit d'encourager the whole ofs éditeurs commerciaux, y compris scolaires, à s'engager dans la production de livres numériques nativement accessibles au format EPUB3. Cet encouragement se traduit en particulier par le soutien du ministère à l'association EDR Lab, qui œuvre au niveau européen à la promotion et au développement du format EPUB3, ainsi qu'au développement de la mesure technique de protection « Readium LCP » (Lightweight content protection) et de l'application de lecture « Readium ». Dans le cadre des vingt-six recommandations du rapport d'inspection interministériel IGAC IGAS IGAENR sur l'édition adaptée (2017), le ministère de la culture anime, en lien avec l'association BrailleNet, un groupe de travail pour la certification des livres numériques accessibles en format EPUB3, incluant les acteurs du domaine scolaire. Un comité de pilotage interministériel sur l'édition numérique nativement accessible a été lancé à l'initiative du ministère de la culture et du Secrétariat d'État aux personnes handicapées, réunissant les ministères concernés (Services du Premier ministre – Comité interministériel pour le handicap, ministère de l'éducation nationale, ministère des solidarités et de la santé, ministère de la culture) ainsi que les principaux acteurs publics et privés de la chaîne du livre numérique. Le rôle de ce comité de pilotage sera d'affirmer un consensus autour d'une stratégie commune, de s'accorder sur un calendrier, des objectifs opérationnels et une méthode de travail, puis de réaliser un bilan périodique des actions entreprises et des progrès réalisés. D'autre part, toujours en application des recommandations du rapport d'inspection interministériel précité, et afin de répondre au mieux et au plus près aux besoins des personnes empêchées de lire du fait d'un trouble ou d'un handicap, le ministère œuvre en lien avec le ministère de l'enseignement supérieur, de la recherche et de l'innovation, à atteindre d'ici le mois d'avril 2020 le nombre de 300 bibliothèques territoriales ou universitaires, habilitées dans le cadre de l'Exception handicap au droit d'auteur. Outre l'ouverture aux publics souffrant de troubles de la lecture et des apprentissages (troubles « DYS »), cette habilitation permet à tout organisme de communiquer à leurs publics empêchés de lire des fichiers numériques adaptés, déposés et mutualisés sur la plate-forme Platon, gérée par la Bibliothèque nationale de France.

Question 40736 — overseas

France · National Assembly

Ms. Nadia Essayan draws the attention of the Secretary of State to the Ministers of the Economy, Finance and Recovery, and Territorial Cohesion and Relations with Local Authorities, responsible for digital transition and electronic communications, to the particularly high telephone rates applicable for metropolitan residents to reach Reunion and vice versa. Indeed, ARCEP in its report on the evolution of prices of electronic communications services for the metropolitan market, from May 26, 2021, demonstrates a general downward trend. However, for Reunion Island, prices remain very high and are disconnected from those in mainland France apart from cases of roaming. For roaming, the French legislator had to intervene in order to extend European Regulation (EU) No. 531/2012 to overseas territories through article L. 34-10 of postal and electronic communications code. However, for recurring metropolitan subscribers who want to contact the inhabitants of Reunion, the regulatory framework is very flexible and depends on each operator. Alerted by residents of his constituency, this pricing policy must be more regulated so that national communication barriers are lowered and we can, perfectly and free, communicate between everyone. This is also true for communications from Réunion to mainland France. His fellow citizens expressed their great astonishment at the fact that their offer allowed free access to 50 foreign countries, but nevertheless excluded Réunion, a French department. She knows that the coverage issues in Reunion are particularly onerous and whether there have been any developments since written question no. 24283 from Mr. Pierre Lagourgue, published in the Senate JO of January 7, 1993, by a drop in prices in particular, the principle and the symbol are still there and further distance this department from the national overseas and metropolitan community. She wants to know his position on the subject.

Question 34926 — secondary education

France · National Assembly

Ms. Nadia Essayan draws the attention of the Minister of National Education, Youth and Sports to the extension of the increase in the remuneration of national education staff. If the envelope of 400 million euros allocated to the revaluation of staff remuneration is good news and must be welcomed, its distribution scope could be strengthened. The Minister announced on November 16, 2020 a salary increase for teachers as well as the allocation of a computer equipment bonus of 150 euros for the year 2021. This bonus is intended for all teachers and psychologists in its ministry, whether they are trainees, tenured, contract workers, full-time or part-time teachers. The aim of this bonus is to equip staff with computers and software adapted to the development of teaching at distance, which appears to be a necessity with the crisis. However, this equipment bonus excludes teacher-librarians and senior education advisors. However, these supervisors implemented, continued and reinforced educational sequences, during confinement, in order to guarantee continuity of teaching, and this with their personal equipment. In addition, the acquisition by all students of a culture of information and media relies today mainly on digital. Thus, the extension of the premium is an expected investment. She wants to know his opinion on the subject.

Question 26073 — maternity health insurance

France · National Assembly

Ms. Nadia Essayan draws the attention of the Minister of Solidarity and Health to the coverage of transport costs in a bariatric ambulance. The cost of transporting a patient is reimbursed under health insurance. Regarding transport by bariatric ambulance, it should be noted that transport costs are higher. Reimbursement is made on a non-bariatric ambulance basis (the rest remaining the responsibility of the patient). These costs can be expensive due to the distance from the patient's place of residence to the place of medical care. Also, she would like to know what measures could be taken so that patients suffering from obesity, among others, can benefit, during transport, from reimbursement equivalent to transport in a non-bariatric ambulance.

Question 24818 — sects and secret societies

France · National Assembly

Depuis 2002, la MIVILUDES joue un rôle essentiel d'analyse des phénomènes sectaires et de coordination de l'action préventive et répressive face aux dérives sectaires. Ce rôle est essentiel et le Gouvernement entend le confirmer. Le Gouvernement confirme l'importance accordée à la prévention et à la lutte contre les dérives sectaires, sous toutes leurs formes, et dans les différents secteurs d'activité et de la vie sociale au sein desquels celles-ci peuvent aujourd'hui se manifester: certaines formes religieuses mais aussi, par exemple, des dérives dans les domaines de la santé, de la formation, du développement personnel, etc. Il est possible, à la fois de garder un degré d'ambition inchangé en la matière, et de moderniser l'organisation administrative pour tenir compte des évolutions récentes. Une part de l'activité de la MIVILUDES pose aujourd'hui des questions de synergies et de partage de compétences avec d'autres organismes qui n'existaient pas en 2002, comme par exemple le secrétariat général du comité interministériel de prévention de la délinquance et de la radicalisation (SG CIPDR). Par ailleurs, la Cour des comptes avait formulé en 2017 des observations sur l'organisation et le fonctionnement de la MIVILUDES. Elle suggérait déjà que le rattachement au ministère de l'intérieur permettrait d'en renforcer le caractère opérationnel. Dans ce contexte, le Gouvernement a décidé de rattacher la MIVILUDES au ministère de l'intérieur. Cette nouvelle organisation est envisagée pour le début de l'année 2020. Ce nouveau rattachement s'explique par 3 raisons principales: - rattachée au ministère de l'intérieur, la MIVILUDES pourra exercer ses missions en pleine articulation avec SG CIPDR: les champs d'intervention de ces deux organismes ne se recouvrent pas totalement mais ils ont pour important point commun la lutte contre les nouvelles formes de radicalité et certains phénomènes d'emprise et d'enfermement; - le ministère de l'intérieur a, traditionnellement, une vocation d'animation interministérielle dans ses champs de compétences; cette nouvelle organisation ne compromet pas, au contraire, la bonne prise en compte de la variété des problématiques liées aux dérives sectaires; - il est de bonne administration que l'action publique relève des ministères: cela permet au Premier ministre et à ses services de se concentrer sur leur rôle d'impulsion, de coordination et d'arbitrage. La nouvelle organisation est donc respectueuse de la répartition des rôles au sein by the government. Les modalités pratiques de ce nouveau rattachement seront précisées dans les semaines qui viennent. Sur ce sujet, le Gouvernement considère évidemment qu'il n'est pas question de laisser se perdre un bilan de 20 ans d'action publique contre les dérives sectaires: la MIVILUDES continuera d'assurer son travail de recueil des signalements et d'identification de réponses appropriées. La nouvelle organisation préservera la bonne prise en compte de la spécificité des phénomènes sectaires.

Question 19166 — water and sanitation

France · National Assembly

The impacts of climate change on water resources are increasingly perceptible by communities, economic actors (industrialists, farmers) and citizens. Faced with less and less abundant resources, sobriety must be sought by everyone. Faced with these challenges, the Government has decided to generalize the method of territorial projects for water management (PTGE) in order to guarantee a concerted approach locally with all water users to improve the resilience of territories to climate change and better share water resources. Following the recommendations of Prefect Bisch's expertise unit (2017-2018), the instruction on territorial projects for water management addressed to prefects was developed and published on May 7, 2019. It specifies the role of the State and remobilizes stakeholders to develop territorial projects for water management (PTGE). Among the possible solutions for balanced management of water resources is that relating to water storage reservoirs. The question of the relevance of a reservoir must be addressed as part of a comprehensive approach taking into account water savings, more resilient agricultural practices, technological innovations in irrigation and the capacity to filling of reservoirs in the context of climate change. The instruction, in order to respect the subsidiarity of the territories, indicates that the territorial project must result in an action program which details the volumes of water associated with the actions by specifying the sampling period (low and non-low water). In the absence of a water development and management plan (SAGE) or volume distribution by the SAGE, the PTGE must result in the distribution, over the entire year, of water volumes by use. These volumes must be compatible with the water development and management master plan (SDAGE). In any case, they respect hydrological, biological and morphological balances. The approach and actions carried out by the PTGE will mobilize several sources of financing: users, local authorities, private financiers, European funds, Water Agencies. The Government's instruction renews the methods of intervention of Water Agencies. For reservoir or transfer projects concerning agricultural irrigation, the part financeable by the Water Agencies will be the part of the work corresponding to the substitution volume (volume taken during periods of high water or transferred from a resource which is not in deficit in substitution of volumes taken during low water periods). Concerning multi-use works (drinking water, industrial uses, low water support, irrigation), the Water Agencies may possibly finance them beyond simple substitution under the conditions set by the PTGE, according to the priorities of the basin committees where the different users are represented.

Question 19142 — associations and foundations

France · National Assembly

Les millions de dirigeants bénévoles en France se heurtent aux obstacles administratifs qui impactent leurs actions locales et fragilisent l'engagement. Dans chaque département un élément départemental à la vie associative a pour misison de les accompagner et l'Etat se mobilise pour faciliter leurs démarches. Ainsi, l'insertion dans la loi du formulaire unique de demande de subvention a constitué une mesure phare de la réduction des formulaires. Le Gouvernement est aujourd'hui particulièrement attentif à faciliter la vie quotidienne des associations par la dématérialisation des demandes et autres procédures. A ce titre, la simplification des démarches administratives de subvention des associations par les systèmes d'information réalisée dans le cadre du programme SIVA consiste à: - faire en sorte que les informations de présentation d'une association ne soient plus demandées par une administration à partir du moment où celles-ci ont été mises à jour par l'association par l'intermédiaire des télé-démarches; ("dites-le nous une fois"); - éviter à une association de déposer une demande de subvention plusieurs fois si elle est déjà financée par une administration. L'outil, « le compte association » est aujourd'hui utilisé par exemple dans le cadre du fonds pour le développement de la vie associative qui s'est substitué à la réserve parlementaire ou encore pour les demandes de subventions dans le champ de l'éducation populaire et de la jeunesse. De même, le dispositif Impact Emploi, qui déportent les démarches administratives sur l'URSSAF, va être élargi aux associations qui emploient jusqu'à 20 salariés. Dans cette optique, l'interconexion avec d'autres outils existants est indispensable. Un lien sera opéré avec un autre outil utilisé par le portail des aides Dauphin du CGET qui a remplacé ADDEL. Le Gouvernement est tout entier mobilisé pour simplifier la vie des associations.

Question 12110 — agriculture

France · National Assembly

Mme Nadia Essayan interroge M. le ministre de l'agriculture et de l'alimentation sur la surveillance biologique du territoire. Cela consiste en la surveillance des organismes nuisibles aux végétaux, qu'ils soient réglementés ou non. Cette mission d'intérêt général, financée par la redevance pour pollutions diffuses, est prélevée sur les produits phytosanitaires. Ce financement est à la charge des professionnels et vise à réduire l'utilisation de ces produits tout en informant sur les risques potentiels, notamment sur les cultures, types de maladie ou ravageurs. Cette surveillance biologique du territoire veille également aux effets non intentionnels des pratiques agricoles sur l'environnement. Or, depuis 2011, la surveillance biologique du territoire qui donnait lieu à des bulletins de santé du végétal régionaux, n'est plus gérée par le ministère de l'agriculture mais par les instituts techniques agricoles. Aussi, le Centre technique interprofessionnel des fruits et légumes a fait valoir à plusieurs reprises que ce transfert de compétences était une véritable charge difficile à supporter, qui représente 130 000 euros par an. Cette situation est d'autant plus critique pour la filière des fruits et légumes, que les fonds publics CASDAR ont baissé de 1,9 millions d'euros. Une aide financière permettrait de supporter le coût de ce transfert de compétences. Ainsi, elle aimerait connaître sa position et savoir les mesures qu'il souhaite prendre.

Ms. Nadia Essayan draws the attention of the Minister Delegate to the Minister of the Interior, responsible for citizenship, to the situation of foreigners regarding the renewal of their driving license. Indeed, foreigners have twelve months from the issue of their first residence permit to exchange their driving license for a license valid in France. However, in some countries, the driving license has a date of expiration and the country can require a presence on the territory to request aptitude tests (vision, psychomotor skills, etc.) or toxicological tests, Brazil thus requires such an approach. The health crisis and the closure of borders have prevented these procedures and require a relaxation of standards when we know the importance of such a permit for registration in professional and social life. From then on, she asks whether it would be possible to provide for a temporary modification of the decree of January 12, 2012 setting the conditions for recognition and exchange of driving licenses issued by States outside the European Economic Area in Articles 2,4,8 and 11 as well as the circular of August 3, 2012 relating to the conditions for recognition and exchange of driving licenses issued by countries outside the EEA and its point 2.1.5.1 "Starting point" to increase the period from one to twenty-four months.

Ms. Nadia Essayan draws the attention of the Minister Delegate to the Minister for Europe and Foreign Affairs, responsible for tourism, French people living abroad and the Francophonie, and to the Minister of the Economy, Finance and Recovery, responsible for SMEs, to the complete disruption of the labels sector which is facing a historic crisis in raw materials. Indeed, the covid-19 crisis has had a strong impact on this sector, with difficulties targeted at the major players in the sector. In addition, social movements in Finland at UMP further increase deadlines and forecasts, leaving national players in great uncertainty. According to information from the beginning of the week of February 28, 2022, the strike at UMP will continue until April 2, 2022 due to the intense negotiations in progress. But this time weighs on those involved in the printing industry which are about to stop production. In addition, it is a sector where investments are strategic to remain competitive. Finally, this sector is strategic for the country because it has repercussions on a multitude of stakeholders including hospitals, the agri-food sector or viticulture in its department and region. A lack of strong response always leads to more tensions, an increase in inflation and a slowdown in the development of this sector. The takeover, the week of February 28, 2022, of the Chapelle Darblay paper mill by the metropolis of Rouen goes in the right direction of increasing the resilience and independence of France. Can we plan to support other paper mills and propose an investment plan to defend this sector? At the European level, can France help its Finnish counterpart to improve situation with UMP? The next few months will be strategic and we must mobilize and shed light on this little-known problem. She wants to know his opinion on the subject.

Question 34615 — natural disasters

France · National Assembly · 11 August 2020

Mrs. Nadia Essayan draws the attention of the Minister of Territorial Cohesion and Relations with Local Authorities to the implementation of compulsory diagnosis for land located in clay zones. Two decrees published in the Official Journal on August 6 and 15, 2020 provided the practical framework for this rule initially provided for by the Elan law of November 23, 2018. Concretely, a geotechnical study must now be annexed to the new sales agreements in order to detect the risks of ground movement due to drought and/or rehydration of soils which have an impact on clays. This study is necessary for construction work contracts and for land allowing the construction of individual houses and therefore building land. However, exceptions are clearly provided for constructions with the distinction between works foundation and other works; another exception is that of extension projects for verandas and garages when the surface area is less than 20 square meters. The MP sees in this generality for building land an important limit since small and medium-sized areas which are not intended to receive construction will be subject to this legislation and therefore to the costs represented by such study. The risk is high since the case law has a very broad vision of a building plot and the judge sets up a single criterion of minimum size and does not look at whether or not it is already built (CA Paris, March 19, 1982, AJPI, 1982, page 507). Therefore, while the study is necessary for construction, the generalization for all building land will strongly constrain sales in rural areas to heavily clayey soil, like the Cher. Furthermore, given the risks represented by the absence of clear exceptions from the State, notaries impose a diagnosis regardless of the size of the land, to avoid the risks of the judge's interpretation. Therefore, it seems preferable to provide certain exceptions for the case of building land. She asks him his intentions on this subject.

MaPrimeRénov' is the new state bonus which simplifies aid for energy renovation. This new aid aims to accelerate and simplify the procedures for the energy renovation of buildings. This bonus, initially reserved for the most modest households, is now accessible to all, this was a strong request from parliamentarians, which the MP notably had the opportunity to defend in the hemicycle. Indeed, it is essential that all households can benefit from this aid, because we must encourage a comprehensive and massive renovation of housing in order to achieve energy savings. The recovery plan devotes 7 billion euros to housing, it is a significant effort, and necessary for the 4.8 million thermal strainers in France. As the Minister said, energy renovation must be accessible to all: it is an imperative of ecological and social justice. The MP had the pleasure of welcoming him to Vierzon on Friday September 4, 2020 with Mr. Clément Beaune, to visit the Tunnel Château school. This establishment was renovated thanks to aid from the State and Europe, which made it possible this building to save more than 25% energy. On this occasion, the MP was able to speak with renovation professionals, who were able to confirm to her that their order book was full. This is good news, and we must continue to encourage them. During this day, the MP intervened to defend the smallest municipalities and encourage them to request state aid for development and renovation of infrastructure.

This sector was heavily affected successively by the drought in 2019 and the coronavirus health crisis in 2020. The association deplores the lack of maintenance and modernization of French waterways and the weakness of the resources that the State devotes to it. Freight and river tourism, in addition to having a reduced impact on the environment, contribute greatly to the attractiveness of regions, gastronomy, heritage, culture and the development of leisure activities along waterways. The Cher department, like many others, is counting on the development and better exploitation of this natural wealth to strengthen the attractiveness of the territory but this requires greater financial support.

France · National Assembly · 4 July 2019

Ms. Nadia Essayan draws the attention of the Minister for Europe and Foreign Affairs to the costs incurred by foreigners when applying for a visa to France. Indeed, certain fees are disproportionate, particularly for developing countries, compared to the minimum wage in the applicant's country. Furthermore, notwithstanding a sometimes excessive price, payment of application fees does not give rise to any automatic right to a visa and these fees are not refundable, including in the event of refusal by the administration or cancellation of the request by the applicant. However, it seems implausible to pay a sum for a service that you cannot benefit from. The costs are generally broken down into visa fees, visa insurance, certificate of accommodation at the town hall and application fees, and weigh heavily on the budget of families with modest incomes. This is the case of Morocco for example, the minimum salary being around 240 euros while the total fees for a visa application amount to around 150 euros. The same can be said for other countries which also grant French people a visit visa without financial compensation. Ultimately and without prejudice to the need to apply file creation fees within the framework of France's migration policy, it However, it seems fairer to reimburse, at a minimum, the visa fees for all people whose applications are rejected.

Mrs. Nadia Essayan draws the attention of the Minister of the Economy and Finance to the importance of the installation preparation course (SPI) and its usefulness when starting a craft activity. Currently mandatory for people who request registration in the trade directory, including project leaders who choose the micro-enterprise regime, the SPI is a strong and important moment when starting a business. professional craft activity. With a minimum duration of 30 hours, it allows the craftsman to be better equipped to face the obligations he will face as a business manager. The SPI allows future managers, through courses and practical work, to become aware of the conditions of their installation, the financing problems that may arise, and the techniques for forecasting and controlling their future. exploitation, as well as the possibilities for continuing training. It has been demonstrated by various studies that if the sustainability rate of businesses during the first 3 years is better in the craft industry, it is also because of this system. Law No. 2016-1691 of December 9, 2016 relating to transparency, the fight against corruption and the modernization of economic life introduced several provisions likely to optimize management of the SPI: this is no longer likely to be an obstacle to the timetable for the creation of the company, registration in the trade directory cannot be carried out if the internship has not been started within 30 days following the project leader's request. If a reason of force majeure prevents the new craftsman from following the course before registration, he can do so within the year following his registration. The law has also introduced an internship exemption for project leaders who have followed equivalent training (title or diploma approved at level III; certificate of professional capacity as a taxi driver) or who have equivalent acquired experience (exercise, for at least 3 years, of a professional activity requiring a level of knowledge equivalent to that provided by the internship; support for creation of at least 30 hours, provided that this support is registered in the National Directory of Professional Certifications and offers management training of a level at least equivalent to that of the SPI). Convinced of the usefulness of the SPI and noting the optimizations which have been introduced, she wishes to know the Government's intentions with regard to the SPI and the precise reasons why the Government could consider its deletion.

Question 14769 — higher education

France · National Assembly · 11 April 2018

La population étudiante internationale est aujourd'hui en hausse, les mobilités académiques sont de plus en plus courantes dans les parcours de formation et ce mouvement s'intensifiera dans les prochaines années. Il y a actuellement 5,5 millions d'étudiants en mobilité à travers le monde et ils devraient être 9 millions en 2025 (Unesco, 2018). Le plan « Bienvenue en France », présenté par le Premier ministre le 19 novembre 2018 et porté par le ministère de l'enseignement supérieur, de la recherche et de l'innovation (MESRI), vise ainsi à renforcer l'attractivité de notre pays avec un objectif clairement affiché: accueillir au moins 500 000 étudiants internationaux à l'horizon 2027. De par son histoire, sa culture et son rayonnement, la France a toujours été un grand pays d'accueil pour les étudiants du monde entier. Il s'agit ainsi de la 4e puissance mondiale pour l'accueil d'étudiants internationaux et de la première du monde non-anglophone. Ce statut n'est pas acquis et pourrait être significativement remis en cause faute de modernisation de notre politique d'accueil. En effet, de nouveaux acteurs universitaires internationaux, en Chine, en Turquie, en Inde ou au Moyen-Orient s'engagent ouvertement pour attirer des étudiants du monde entier en déployant des stratégies très volontaristes. Afin de remplir l'objectif annoncé par le Premier ministre, le plan « Bienvenue en France » décline trois priorités d'action. Il s'agit, tout d'abord, d'améliorer les conditions d'accueil et de séjour des étudiants internationaux afin de hisser nos établissements d'enseignement supérieur au niveau des meilleurs standards internationaux en la matière. Cela consiste en une simplification des procédures de délivrance de visas, en la création de guichets uniques dans les universités pour que les étudiants internationaux aient un interlocuteur identifié, et en proposant davantage de formations en anglais et plus de cours de français intensif pour les étudiants non francophones. Dès 2019, le fonds "Bienvenue en France" doté de 10 millions d'euros, soutiendra ces actions concrètes et un label sera mis en place par Campus France pour permettre aux futurs étudiants d'identifier les établissements les plus investis dans leur accueil. Cette initiative sera financée au moyen de frais d'inscription différenciés afin de permettre aux étudiants internationaux qui en ont les moyens de pouvoir contribuer, à leur tour, au financement de l'université. Cela s'accompagnera d'une série de mesures aimed at consolider notre politique de solidarité internationale à destination des étudiants internationaux qui en ont le plus besoin. Ainsi, le nombre de bourses et d'exonérations de droits d'inscription délivrées au niveau de l'État, soit par le ministère de l'Europe et des affaires étrangères, soit par le ministère de l'enseignement supérieur, de la recherche et de l'innovation, sera multiplié par trois. Les universités pourront à leur tour définir leur politique de solidarité internationale en délivrant des bourses et des exonérations supplémentaires. Les étudiants internationaux qui bénéficieront de ces bourses auront une priorité pour l'accès au contingent dédié de logements étudiants gérés par les CROUS. Des dispositifs complémentaires pourront également être mis en œuvre par les collectivités territoriales qui le souhaiteront. Pour les étudiants internationaux qui n'obtiendront pas de bourses ou d'exonérations nationales ou universitaires, l'État continuera de prendre à sa charge les deux tiers du coût des formations en signe d'ouverture et de solidarité. Que ce soit dans le cadre d'un accord international, de bourses nationales ou de bourses d'établissements, aucun étudiant international aujourd'hui inscrit en France dans une formation ne sera concerné par l'application des droits différenciés. Des mesures d'exonération seront également appliquées aux étudiants suisses, québécois ou venants en France dans le cadre d'un partenariat entre universités qui prévoit déjà une exonération, notamment les étudiants qui sont accueillis dans le cadre de programmes d'échange comme Erasmus+. Le ministère en charge de l'enseignement supérieur et de la recherche veillera également à ce que les frais de scolarité des doctorants internationaux puissent être compris dans les financements de leurs thèses afin de conforter le rayonnement international des établissements universitaires français. Le ministère de l'enseignement supérieur, de la recherche et de l'innovation réaffirme la relation privilégiée de la France avec plusieurs États du Maghreb et d'Afrique, ainsi que la formidable richesse culturelle que représente la Francophonie. Les bourses accordées par le ministère de l'Europe et des affaires étrangères concerneront prioritairement les étudiants ressortissants de ces États partenaires. Il en va de même pour celles qui seront décidées par les universités. Le troisième volet du plan « Bienvenue en France » vise à soutenir la projection internationale des établissements français. Plus d'étudiants internationaux doivent pouvoir choisir la France et l'enseignement supérieur français sans nécessairement quitter leur pays. Un fonds d'amorçage de 5 millions d'euros permettra ainsi de soutenir les projets qui voient le jour, dans le prolongement du campus franco-sénégalais annoncé par le Président de la République en février 2018 ou du campus Franco-tunisien. L'AFD (agence française de développement) sera ensuite chargée de soutenir l'implantation des établissements français à l'étranger. La stratégie « Bienvenue en France » vise donc à développer l'attractivité française tout en donnant l'opportunité aux étudiants internationaux qui le souhaitent de choisir la France et son enseignement supérieur.
