Mr. Jérôme End draws the attention of the Minister of Health, Families, Autonomy and People with Disabilities to the particularly worrying situation of family carers, faced with recurring difficulties due to the precariousness of their status, the inadequacy of their remuneration or even the complexity of the regulatory framework in which they operate. The mission of approved family caregivers is to accommodate people with disabilities or the elderly in their homes, in a family living environment. Today in France there are nearly 8,000 family caregivers for 13,500 people welcomed, including 68% disabled adults and 32% elderly people. Since its creation in 1989, the family reception system has undergone several developments aimed at improving the working conditions of those caring for them and make their status more attractive. Despite this, the number of foster carers in France has continued to decline for 10 years, since there were more than 9,700 in 2013 and 46% of them are over 60 years old. In a response to a written question published in 2023, the Government indicated that it wanted to support this mode of reception and strengthen its attractiveness. The options envisaged concerned, firstly, the extension to all receptionists families of the right to unemployment insurance, whether or not they have the status of employees, in order to limit the precariousness of the activity and to guarantee the hosts a replacement income between two receptions. To date, less than 2% work under salaried status, most concluding private contracts. Secondly, strengthening the role of departments relating to the connection between supply and demand for reception and support for receptions. Thirdly, the development of part-time reception and sequential reception, in particular via the simplification of a certain number of administrative procedures, in order to allow receptionists to have respite time. If these measures responded to real and legitimate expectations of family caregivers, they have unfortunately not been implemented to date. This reception solution However, it undoubtedly contributes to responding to the issues linked to disability and loss of autonomy and must absolutely be supported. The hosts play a fundamental role in the care of fragile and vulnerable people throughout the territory, offering local and personalized support and ensuring the people welcomed a quality of life often praised by families and professionals. sector. In order to better protect them and strengthen the attractiveness of their profession, it is first necessary to provide them with greater economic security. To date, when a foster person enters an establishment, is hospitalized for a long period of time or dies, the host's income drops sharply and can become zero. The possibility of aligning their social rights with those of family assistants, in particular by opening a real employment contract giving right to the unemployment insurance scheme, therefore deserves to be studied. The extension of rights to unemployment insurance would make it possible to secure the transition periods between two people accommodated and to protect the profession from the precariousness of the private contract by mutual agreement. A sustainable revaluation of remuneration and financial compensation specific to the activity of hosts family members must also be considered, in view of the evolution of the cost of living and the ever-increasing demands placed on them in the context of their functions. Measures must also be taken in view of the particularly demanding working conditions of family carers. These often ensure a continuous presence, twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week. The difficulty in finding alternative solutions to allow taking leave sometimes leads to professional burnout and harms the attractiveness of the profession. The establishment of a real right to respite appears essential. In its response to a written question published in April 2025, the Government indicates that “to consolidate family reception, several areas of reform have been identified as part of the work carried out with the associations of the sector: improve the working conditions of family hosts, strengthen support for reception, better secure them and facilitate administrative procedures for family hosts and people welcomed”. However, it seems that no new concrete measures have been taken since then to guarantee the viability of their activity and improve their status. He therefore asks him to please clarify the state of progress of this work and their implementation schedule. While the multi-year programming law for autonomy has been postponed sine die and the Government finally announced in April 2026 a national autonomy conference in September 2026, he asks whether it is planned that concrete measures be considered in this framework to ensure the recognition, security and attractiveness of family reception.

Mr. Jérôme End draws the attention of the Minister of Health, Families, Autonomy and People with Disabilities to the current blockage of the conventional framework for midwives and to the risk of disruption in women's access to care. In recent years, Parliament has voted for several changes to the midwifery profession. The law of January 25, 2023, known as the “Chapeler law”, notably established the state diploma of doctor in midwifery, the third cycle of midwifery studies and the strengthening of the university sector. However, the absence of effective opening of conventional negotiations prevents the implementation of these developments. The long consultation dedicated to menopause, created by article 64 of the social security financing law for 2026 and which aims to strengthen support for women at the time of menopause, remains also in practice without effect for the profession in the absence of rating and conventional framework applicable to midwives. However, it is essential to concretely translate the decisions taken by the legislator in favor of women's health and true recognition of the skills and place of midwives in the health system. In general, it is clear that there is an inconsistency in the exercise framework, also visible in the question of remuneration. Thus, since the 2024-2029 medical convention, certain gynecological follow-up consultations have been upgraded for doctors, while comparable procedures carried out by midwives remain at different price levels. The commitments made from amendment no. 4 to the 2018 national convention of midwives provided for a convergence of prices for competent acts. shared. It is important to emphasize that the midwifery profession currently represents only around 0.3% of health insurance healthcare expenditure. But no conventional negotiations can be initiated today in the absence of the framework letter that the Minister of Health must send to the National Health Insurance Fund (CNAM), a letter which has not been published to date. Midwives do not ask for new skills but would like those already recognized by the legislator to be able to be exercised within a conventional framework consistent with their responsibilities. This would both strengthen the attractiveness of the profession and demonstrate the capacity of public authorities to concretely translate the ambitions stated for women's health. He therefore asks the Government if it intends to quickly begin negotiations expected in order to re-establish coherence between the skills recognized for midwives, the missions they carry out and their conditions of practice.

Mr. Jérôme End questions the Minister of the Economy, Finance and Industrial, Energy and Digital Sovereignty on the practices of PC SOFT since its acquisition by Two Squared France II and on the potential consequences for the country from an economic and security point of view. The French company PC SOFT based in Montpellier was bought at the end of 2024 by a European group, Two Squared France II, which itself belongs to two Canadian companies: Constellation Software Inc and its subsidiary Volaris Group, specializing in the acquisition of software publishing companies. PC SOFT notably develops WinDev, WebDev and WinDev Mobile software, used by thousands of VSEs, SMEs, publishers and IT services, which sometimes work in strategic sectors for our country. With the takeover, the activities of these structures therefore came under the control of Two Squared France II. This change has important consequences at the economic level. In fact, the company that bought PC SOFT is converting perpetual licenses into recurring subscriptions and gradually increasing prices. This policy is difficult to bear for many companies, a certain number of which will certainly have to file for bankruptcy in the weeks or months to come. Unfortunately, a large number of them cannot get rid of their contracts, because in the case of WinDev, the proprietary programming language at the heart of PC SOFT tools, WLanguage, does not exist anywhere else. This could also constitute an abuse of a dominant position and go against European laws. In addition to the exorbitant cost of the new development platform, the company also provides an annual royalty on the module allowing applications created by developers and deployed to end customers to operate. PC SOFT will thus invoice its customers' customers with its new model. Given the fact that these end customers are not contractually linked to PC SOFT, it is legitimate to question the legality of this practice. However, the consequences of PC SOFT practices can also be significant national security point of view. Indeed, many companies or administrations using software made in WinDev act in particularly strategic areas for the country. Among the users, we find for example the Ministry of National Education, the Paris Hospitals, certain CPAMs, companies working in air traffic control, defense, etc. On spaces promoting new releases of Windev, large companies with particularly sensitive activities are mentioned, such as Safran, Thalès, Dassault Aviation, Aéroports de Paris, Ariane Espace, etc. He asks that the competent services be contacted urgently and that an investigation be carried out to find out how many strategic structures use this software and what would be the potential consequences for the country if they could no longer be there. recourse, in particular due to a financial burden which would become too significant, especially since it is essential to avoid sudden cessations of activity in sectors affecting in particular the health or safety of fellow citizens.

Mr. Jérôme End draws the attention of the Minister of the Economy, Finance and Industrial, Energy and Digital Sovereignty to the lack of clarity and consistency regarding public authorities' support for the production of renewable energy in France. The “climate and resilience” law of August 2021 created the mechanism of biogas production certificates (CPB), which encourages the production and injection of biomethane via a obligation to incorporate sustainable biomethane into suppliers' gas offers. The State has implemented this new system since January 1, 2026. All suppliers who deliver natural gas to residential customers as well as certain businesses and communities are obliged to return a certain number of CPB to the State, to prove their support for the biomethane sector. The quantity returned depends on the gas volumes delivered to their residential or tertiary customers. This obligation extends over a first period, called the “obligation period” and is reflected in the customer’s invoice. From 2026 to 2028, the regulations set a restitution quota which increases each year. A new trajectory had to be defined to set the objectives and the post 2028 support policy of the CPBs, but the national biogas exchange group, brought together under the aegis of the ministries of energy and agriculture and which was to be held on June 12, 2026 to define this trajectory, has just been postponed indefinitely. Agricultural organizations, methanizers, network and industrial managers, and project leaders are concerned about this delay and this lack of visibility on the future of CPBs, which prevents them from investing in the biomethane sector. More than a billion euros are thus blocked pending clarification of the framework which will be put in place in two years. Existing cogeneration units which are reaching the end of their contract are also waiting and some risk abandoning their activity due to lack of profitability, not knowing whether their biogas volumes will be able to be valorized in the coming years. In a context where France seeks to assert its energy sovereignty and accelerate its ecological transition, it is unthinkable to allow projects to be abandoned and investors to turn away from the biogas sector. This situation is all the more incomprehensible as the CPB mechanism does not weigh on public finances, gas suppliers financing the system by acquiring certificates and the cost being passed on to gas consumers. The objective of carbon neutrality cannot based solely on a logic of ever-increasing electrification of uses. Indeed, future electricity needs promise to be considerable (electric vehicles, deployment of artificial intelligence, therefore digital infrastructures, etc.) and international dependence risks being reinforced. To avoid difficulties linked to the limits of electricity networks and supply tensions, it is essential that France promotes the diversification of energy sources and particularly supports the decarbonization of gas. He therefore asks whether the Government plans to quickly publish the texts necessary for the implementation of the CPB and whether it intends to set an ambitious and credible trajectory beyond 2028.

Mr. Jérôme End draws the attention of the Minister of the Economy, Finance and Industrial, Energy and Digital Sovereignty to the cost of the various contracts and services invoiced to local authorities. Local elected officials note that the quotes presented to communities as part of public procurement often reach particularly high amounts. For equivalent services, the cost borne by a community sometimes seems significantly higher than that which would be invoiced to an individual or a private company and even in direct negotiation. Communities also often have the feeling that the simple fact of going through a public market leads to a significant increase in the prices offered. In a context of strong budgetary constraints, this situation limits the investment capacity of municipalities and questions the functioning of public procurement as well as the reality of competition between candidate companies. He therefore asks what measures the Government intends to take to free up public procurement in the interest of the efficiency of public spending.

Mr. Jérôme End questions the Minister of Labor and Solidarity on the consequences for certain civil servants of the non-renewal of the individual guarantee of purchasing power (GIPA). Established by Decree No. 2008-539 of June 6, 2008, the individual purchasing power guarantee compensation results from the difference observed between the evolution of the gross index salary held by the agent over a reference period of four years and that of the consumer price index over the same period. This instrument aims to compensate for the loss of purchasing power of agents, if their remuneration has increased little over the last four years, in particular to cushion the effects of inflation. However, the Government decided not to renew it for 2024 and 2025, considering that the GIPA mainly benefited agents located at the top level of their grade, often at the end of their career and preferring to put in place structural measures aimed at all agents: revaluation of the value of the index point, allocation of additional increased index points, compensation increases, revision of certain index scales, etc. Under the effect of these measures, the Government declares in its response to a written question published on May 19, 2026 that “the average net salary of agents in constant euros in 2024 is an increase of 2.6% in the State civil service, 1.3% in the territorial civil service and 0.7% in the hospital civil service. Despite this, many civil servants, particularly in categories B and C, believe they have lost purchasing power with the non-payment of GIPA. The question of renewing GIPA in a targeted manner or considering other financial compensation must arise, at least for categories B and C, in particular for certain professions in tension requiring particularly significant mobilization and commitment and requiring numerous skills. For example, it is possible to cite the role of town hall secretary, which is extremely demanding and essential to the proper functioning of local authorities. He asks him if an assessment of the financial losses for civil servants could have been be carried out following the non-renewal of the GIPA and if it intends to take specific measures in favor of agents who have experienced a significant drop in their purchasing power and whose function pushes them to be particularly exposed and in demand on a daily basis, in the service of their fellow citizens.

Mr. Jérôme End draws the attention of the Minister of Ecological Transition, Biodiversity and International Negotiations on Climate and Nature to the nuisance caused by the proliferation of storks, particularly for local communities. The stork is protected at the national level by the decree of October 29, 2009 establishing the list of birds protected throughout the territory and the terms of their protection and at community level, by Directive 2009/147/EC of November 30, 2009 concerning the conservation of wild birds. In several rural communities in Moselle, particularly in the Bischwald sector, the stork population has experienced a sharp increase for several years. Many nests are now installed on electrical poles, public buildings and homes. This situation causes difficulties increasing for municipalities: power outages, fire risks, damage to equipment and costs linked to moving or securing nests. It also generates problems of unsanitary conditions and nuisance, leading to maintenance constraints and daily inconveniences for local residents. However, as the stork remains a protected species, the possibilities for intervention by communities and individuals are extremely limited. Procedures for moving nests are strictly regulated and often involve the installation of alternative facilities to allow the birds to be resettled. Many elected officials are now questioning the adaptation of current regulations to the evolution of the species, whose numbers have increased significantly in recent decades. In this context, he asks him if an inventory of the evolution stork populations have been achieved recently and whether the measures taken to protect the species are still adapted to its current situation. He also asks what solutions can be proposed in the short term to municipalities faced with the multiplication of nests on electrical networks and buildings and the obligation to carry out prevention, security and nuisance management interventions. often expensive and complex.

Mr. Jérôme End alerts the Minister of the Economy, Finance and Industrial, Energy and Digital Sovereignty to the consequences of reducing the financing of skills assessments through the personal training account. The finance law for 2026 introduced changes to the personal training account (CPF). Concerning skills assessments, all people can continue to mobilize their rights to CPF, but the rules have been modified: from now on, they can use a maximum of 1,600 euros of their CPF rights to follow “skills assessment” training and they must not have benefited from funding for a skills assessment during the five years preceding their request (whether public funding by the CPF, the State, a region, France Travail, or even private financing by an Opco, a fund training insurance). These new provisions weaken an essential tool for securing career paths. The skills assessment constitutes a major lever for orientation, retraining and maintaining employment. It allows active people, particularly the most vulnerable (women, seniors, people with disabilities or in professional transition) to identify their abilities, to build a project development and prevent business interruptions. Reducing its financing by the CPF means making it more difficult to access for a large proportion of employees and job seekers, particularly in areas where few alternatives exist. This also causes significant financial difficulties, even cessations of activity for hundreds of VSEs which offer skills assessments, for the benefit of structures larger in size. This situation is regrettable both for local businesses and for the most modest employees who want to continue their professional development in accordance with their deep aspirations and their potential, whether for them it is a question of defining a new project or of gaining efficiency and well-being in their current position. Already, a decree of April 29, 2024 had set new obligations for the use of the CPF and posed obstacles to access to training, with the establishment of a compulsory flat-rate contribution of 100 euros, revalued each year following inflation. As of January 1, 2026, its amount was set at 103.20 euros and a decree of March 30, 2026 further increased its amount to 150 euros for any request to subscribe to a training action eligible for the CPF occurring from April 2, 2026. In a context of profound changes in the labor market, it would seem more coherent to encourage those who want to develop their skills and to leave employees free to use their CPF rights, acquired through years of work, as they see fit, rather than putting brakes on their development by setting specific ceilings for support according to training or by imposing dissuasive financial contributions. He him asks what measures it intends to take to assess the consequences of the restrictive measures recently taken for the use of the CPF and to review the provisions which hinder employees' access to the training they want and put many companies in difficulty.

Mr. Jérôme End draws the attention of the Minister of Health, Families, Autonomy and Persons with Disabilities to the compensation and statutory situation of directors of health, social and medico-social establishments (D3S) as part of the reform of the senior civil service initiated since Ordinance No. 2021-702 of June 2, 2021. The reform of the senior civil service initiated in 2023 led to starting January 1 2026, to a significant revaluation of the careers of hospital directors. The body of directors of health, social and medico-social establishments (D3S) remains to this day excluded from this revaluation, which gives rise to a profound incomprehension with regard to the missions entrusted to them in the service of the general interest. The National Management Center has also recognized that the responsibilities they exercise were comparable to those of hospital directors. Directors of health, social and medico-social establishments manage local hospitals, establishments for dependent elderly people and structures relating to disability or child protection. They manage large budgets, lead complex organizational transformations, ensure social dialogue and concretely implement public policies across the entire territory, as close as possible to the most vulnerable populations. At a time when issues linked to aging, mental health, inclusion and social cohesion occupy a central place in public debate and parliamentary work, it seems essential that the executives who carry out these policies, often in small structures and with resources constrained, benefit from recognition commensurate with their responsibilities. This is, beyond a statutory situation, an issue of fairness, coherence, but also attractiveness, the number of active members in the D3S corps decreasing from year to year and the share of those choosing to detach themselves to the DH corps continually progressing. He asks her what measures she plans to take to integrate the directors of health, social and medico-social establishments in the implementation of the reform of the senior civil service and to guarantee statutory and compensation equity between their body and that of hospital directors.

Mr. Jérôme End draws the attention of the Minister of the Economy, Finance and Industrial, Energy and Digital Sovereignty to the relevance and terms of the establishment of a tax exemption on rental income from the former main residence of elderly people living in nursing homes. France has around 7,500 accommodation establishments for dependent elderly people (Ehpad), which accommodate 10% of people aged 75, or approximately 700,000 residents. In 2024, the average price of a nursing home in France was: 2,556 euros per month for a person in GIR 5 or 6 (with total or almost total autonomy), 2,808 euros per month for a person in GIR 3-4 (moderately dependent), 3,060 euros per month for a very dependent person (GIR 1-2). However, this price varies enormously depending on the region and type of establishment. To deal with these particularly high costs, people in a situation of dependency are sometimes forced to sell their property to finance their place in nursing homes. Some choose to rent it and use the rental income to provide this financing. To date, taxpayers not liable for the real estate wealth tax (IFI) and whose reference tax income does not exceed the limit mentioned in II of article 1417 of the general tax code benefit from an exemption from income tax on the capital gain realized upon the sale of their former main residence within two years following their entry into a nursing home (CGI, article 150 U, II, 1° ter). On the other hand, no provision is made when their main residence is rented out to finance the costs linked to the nursing home: these dependent elderly people remain taxed on the total rental income received, which constitutes an imbalance compared to those who sell and which considerably increases their tax burden. In its response to a written question on the situation of dependent people living in nursing homes, lessors of rental properties subject to income tax, the Government indicated on June 3, 2025 that it was "not envisaged to grant taxpayers housed in nursing homes a exemption for the income they earn from the rental of their real estate", because "such a measure would unfairly benefit only taxpayers who own their property since taxpayers who were tenants before being accommodated in nursing homes could, by construction, not benefit from it. It would thus benefit the wealthiest taxpayers, possibly multi-owners to the detriment of taxpayers who are not or only slightly taxable. However, it is important to emphasize that the rental income received by dependent people, even combined with a possible retirement pension or other income, is sometimes not enough to pay the entire monthly payments due to the nursing home. In this case, additional financial support is often provided by the family, usually descendants. It would therefore be relevant to allow the Rental income linked to the former main residence of elderly people living in Ephad is exempt from income tax, since even combined with the other income they receive, it does not allow them to cover the entire amount of their monthly payments. To avoid certain excesses, a decree could specify the maximum amount taken into account for these monthly payments, which would be adapted according to the average rate nursing homes in each region. Such provisions would provide financial relief to their loved ones, without exempting multi-owners or particularly wealthy people from income tax. In a context marked by persistent financial difficulties in nursing homes and the entry into force of Law No. 2024-317 of April 8, 2024 laying down measures to build the society of aging well and autonomy, it is essential to revise the taxation applicable to people in a situation of dependency. He asks him what action he intends to give to this proposal.

Mr. Jérôme End draws the attention of the Minister of National Education to the situation of municipalities faced with the drop in school demographics and the cost of dismissing certain non-teaching staff. France has experienced a constant decline in the birth rate since 2011, which has led to a reduction in the number of students in its schools. The Department of Evaluation, Foresight and Performance (DEPP) of the Ministry of National Education published in April 2026 projections of student numbers for 2035, which confirm the extent of the demographic decline affecting French schools: almost 1.7 million fewer students in ten years, i.e. a drop of 14.2% in the school population. From the next school year, the first level is expected to lose 125,400 students and the second level 36,200 students, i.e. more than 160,000 fewer students at total. The decline would be mainly driven by nursery school, where the arrival of children born in 2023 would alone lead to a decline of 46,500 students in the junior section. Faced with this drop in the number of students, certain municipalities find themselves obliged to part with part of their supervisory staff to avoid overstaffing. Article 212-5 of the education code provides that the municipality manages non-staff teachers, in particular specialized territorial agents for nursery schools (ATSEM). It covers their remuneration, but also their unemployment compensation. Under article L. 5424-2 of the labor code, municipalities have the possibility of joining the unemployment insurance scheme, but only for their non-permanent agents. Thus, when they find themselves forced to lay off established staff hired on a permanent contract, the amount of unemployment benefits they must pay can be particularly high and have a strong impact on their financial situation, particularly when it comes to small rural communities. Given the burden that this represents for them, a burden imposed on them due to a demographic decline that they did not choose and in view of the student population projections which announce a deterioration of the situation in the years to come, he asks what measures he intends to take to support municipalities in difficulty to finance redundancies linked to the reduction in the number of students.

Mr. Jérôme End draws the attention of the Minister of Health, Families, Autonomy and People with Disabilities to the consequences of article 76 of the social security financing law for 2026, which provides, from January 1, 2027, for the reimbursement by the National Health Insurance Fund (CNAM) of health products, procedures and services established by doctors practicing in sector 3. This provision conditions treatment not on the nature of the prescribed procedure or its medical indication, but solely on the conventional status of the prescriber. Thus, two patients with the same pathology and receiving the same prescription will not benefit from the same reimbursement depending on whether or not their doctor has signed an agreement with the CNAM. This difference in treatment is not based on any objective criteria linked to the quality or safety of care: all doctors, whether or not they are approved, are subject to the same ethical obligations and the same freedom of prescription guaranteed by article L. 162-2 of the social security code and articles R. 4127-8 and R. 4127-53 of the public health code. In this it disregards the principle of equality before the law and public offices enshrined in articles 6 and 13 of the Declaration of Human Rights. man and citizen, as well as the requirement for health protection arising from the 1946 Preamble. The measure also penalizes patients throughout the national territory. In normally well-equipped areas, many doctors practicing in sector 1 and 2 no longer accept new patients or offer waiting times that are incompatible with current care needs. The sector 3 doctor then fulfills a function of access to care that the ARS zoning does not record: more than 54% of non-approved doctors thus receive their patients in less than 48 hours, whereas waiting times in sector 1 or 2 commonly reach three weeks. Depriving these patients of reimbursement for their prescriptions would amount to penalizing them for using the only practitioner actually available, regardless of the administrative classification of their territory. This reality is even more acute in areas officially recognized as under-dense by the ARS. According to data from the Ameli file and the work of the Sector 3 Doctors' Union, 56.7% of the 1,126 non-contracted doctors practice in areas classified by the ARS as under-dense and 88% of them carry out an activity exclusively oriented towards care. In these territories, delisting would constitute a double penalty: lack of local alternative and full coverage at the patient's expense, including for medications or examinations covered by common reimbursement law. In total, more than a million patients would be deprived of reimbursement for their prescriptions. The resulting foregoing of care and referrals to already saturated emergency services would be counterproductive both in terms of health and budgetary. He therefore asks how the Government intends to guarantee equal care for all insured persons and continuity of access to care throughout the territory from January 1, 2027, the date on which the measure will come into force.

Mr. Jérôme End draws the attention of the Minister of the Economy, Finance and Industrial, Energy and Digital Sovereignty to the difficulties encountered by brewers regarding the payment of the sanitation tax. Brewers are currently required to comply with sanitation regulations, including paying the sanitation tax. However, a significant part of the water consumed via brewery counter goes directly back into the composition of the beer and does not pass through any sanitation network. It would therefore seem fair and relevant that the amount of their sanitation tax takes into account the quantity of water contained in the beer produced. Farmers in the dairy sector benefit, for example, from a total exemption from sanitation on water intended for watering livestock, this water being present in milk and liquid effluents managed outside of collective sanitation. Beer producers would also like to be able to benefit from a reduction in their sanitation tax depending on the quantity of beer produced and therefore the volume of water used to produce it, instead of paying for sanitation on all the water consumed. The State collects each month, via customs, the excise taxes on the volumes of beer produced, these are evaluated very precisely: counting the volume of water to be taken into account to calculate the relief could therefore be easily done from the production declarations made to the tax administration. This would constitute a measure of justice and common sense, but also a strong signal of support for the 2,500 microbreweries which contribute to economic vitality. of the country and which provide 8,000 jobs to citizens. He therefore asks him what measures he intends to take in this direction.
