Mr. Stéphane Vojetta draws the attention of the Minister of Solidarity and Health to the automatic exchange of civil status for life certificates of retirees residing abroad. The establishment of these exchanges of civil status between the administrations of European countries, which will be effective within a few months, represents a real step forward for retired people whose administrative life is thus simplified. However, before the application of these automatic exchanges, the people concerned encounter difficulties in having their life certificates signed with the competent authorities abroad. In Spain for example, this is done at the Registro Civil, at the National Institute of Social Security or at the town hall of the place of residence and no longer in French consulates as in the past. However, many retired people are refused access to signing of their certificates by the Spanish administration, which does not recognize the document from French pension funds, which leads them to experience very problematic situations with suspensions of retirement pensions since the certificate is not issued on time. Also, the MP wishes to request the continuation of the signing of life certificates by consulates for the next few months before the effectiveness of the automatic exchange of data in order to facilitate as quickly as possible the taking into account of the existence of retirees by their pension funds. He asks her her intentions on this subject.

Mr. Stéphane Vojetta 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, on the renewal of identity documents for French people residing abroad. The concentration of requests for civil status documents in consulates only equipped with biometric devices for taking fingerprints requiring secure premises has advantages in terms of the time taken to issue the identity document and deterritorialization. That being said, a trip to the consulate equipped with the biometric tool from a distant city represents a cost both financially and in the time of the round trip. It is a day off to take for active people, sometimes several days in the event of renewal for several members of the same family. As such, Mr. MP is contacted by people encountering difficulties in obtaining an appointment at a consulate authorized to take biometric fingerprints. Also, understanding the difficulties of consulate agents faced with numerous renewal requests following the health crisis, he would like to know what is planned to guarantee sufficient time slots to meet these demands.

Mr. Stéphane Vojetta questions 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, about consular tours for the renewal of identity documents for French people living abroad. These tours are intended primarily for French people who do not have the physical or financial possibility of traveling to consulates with biometric tools and are essential for the French community in the face of these obstacles. However, the MP is being contacted by people who are having difficulty benefiting from these tours in their region of residence. During the peak of the health crisis, these tours were interrupted to preserve everyone's health but are only timidly resuming in Spain. As for the Lisbon consulate, it was announced on October 26, 2020 that it would soon be equipped with a Consuléo mobile biometric tool but there was only a tour in Porto on June 15, 2021. This momentum must be sustained. Also, understanding the situation of consulate agents faced with numerous renewal requests following the health crisis, he would like to know what can be considered to guarantee the organization regular these tours, valuable for compatriots who have mobility or financial problems.

Mr. Stéphane Vojetta draws the attention of the Minister of Labor, Employment and Integration to the situation of self-employed workers between France and Monaco. Indeed, a French person who has carried out an independent professional activity in Monaco must have 120 months (i.e. 10 years) of contributions to be eligible for a self-employed worker's pension in Monaco. However, many people have been led to exercise successively an independent worker activity in France and Monaco. Also, in the absence of an agreement on this subject between the two states, the duration of activity in France is not taken into account for a retirement in Monaco and the duration of activity in Monaco is not taken into account for a retirement in France. With regard to salaried workers, the social security agreement between France and Monaco makes it possible to take into account the number years worked in both countries, which solves the problem; but the subject of self-employed workers is not covered there. Therefore, he would like to know if it would be possible to envisage an agreement being negotiated between France and the Principality of Monaco in this regard in the near future?

Mr. Stéphane Vojetta draws the attention of the Minister of Solidarity and Health to the social protection of French people established abroad in the European Union and having previously resided in New Caledonia. It is requested by French nationals residing in Spain and previously in New Caledonia and covered by the CAFAT unified health and maternity insurance scheme (RUAMM) as majority managers of an SCI. Still having this self-employed activity, they must still pay for this insurance but without being able to benefit from it in Spain. The coordination decree passed between France and New Caledonia (decree no. 2002-1371 of November 19, 2002 in force since December 1, 2002) provides for coordination rules in matters of social protection but the scope of application is limited, on the one hand, to mainland France and the overseas departments, on the other hand to New Caledonia. This decree provides in particular that a person who carries out an employed or self-employed activity on French territory or in New Caledonia is subject to the legislation of the State of activity and benefits from its benefits for himself and the members of his family who reside in the territory of New Caledonia. However, a self-employed worker who transfers his residence to Spain continues to be obligatorily liable for the health insurance contribution in New Caledonia but cannot benefit from rights to benefits in Spain due to the absence of an agreement between France, New Caledonia and Spain. In addition, European regulations on the coordination of social security systems only target EU-EEA-Switzerland states, New Caledonia being excluded from the scope. of application since it is an overseas territory (OCT). Consequently, the RUAMM cannot cover health care provided in Spain and the person concerned must affiliate with the Spanish social security system for their care in Spain and in Europe with the European Health Insurance Card. Also, in the interest of social justice, so as not to financially penalize those who promote links between New Caledonia and a European country by their mobility, he would like to know if solutions are being studied and if it is possible to envisage a possible discussion in order to reach a trilateral agreement between New Caledonia, France and the countries of the European Union.

Mr. Stéphane Vojetta draws the attention of the Minister of the Economy, Finance and Industrial and Digital Sovereignty to an unfavorable and legally problematic tax situation affecting many French people residing in Spain. Indeed, French people domiciled for tax purposes in Spain but receiving property income in France are subject to French taxation, in accordance with the bilateral tax convention. Franco-Spanish Act of October 10, 1995 (entry into force in 1997). However, this convention does not expressly provide for the taking into account of the solidarity tax on wealth income, currently levied at 7.5% for residents of the European Union, in the mechanism for eliminating double taxation. This shortcoming has the direct consequence that the Spanish tax administration does not recognize this tax as a tax covered by the convention, preventing any imputation or exemption from the tax due in Spain. This leads to an effective double taxation of around 7.5%, in contradiction with the European principles of tax coordination and avoidance of double taxation between Member States of the European Union. This system, introduced in 2012 in the form of social security contributions, was modified following the ruling of the CJEU (De Ruyter case, 2015), to be reallocated to solidarity funds financed by the State, thus allowing France to maintain this levy on non-residents affiliated to another European regime. However, this modification did not result in an update of the bilateral tax convention, leaving taxpayers in a vague and disadvantageous legal situation. He therefore asks him if the Government is considering a renegotiation of the Franco-Spanish tax convention in order to explicitly integrate this tax into the list of taxes covered and, in the short term, whether it can consider a bilateral exchange of interpretation with the Spanish tax administration, making it possible to avoid double taxation which strongly penalizes French people established in Spain.

Mr. Stéphane Vojetta draws the attention of the Minister of the Economy, Finance and Industrial and Digital Sovereignty to the status of residences held by French expatriates abroad. In most cases, the need to maintain residence in France is often imperative for expatriates. Also, seasonal rental allows them to cover the costs relating to the conservation of their property, while retaining the opportunity to use the accommodation upon return to France, in the same way as a main residence. As such, it would seem appropriate, given the particular situation of French people residing outside France, that their residence is not treated by the tax administration as a “secondary residence” in the same way as those of their compatriots whose main residence is established in France. Mr. Deputy also specifies that the legal particularity of the “single residence” in France of a non-French or European resident taxpayer already exists in article 150 U of the general tax code. By extension, he would like to know whether the development of a specific legal status for housing owned in France by French people living abroad would be possible.

Although the rights acquired remain registered on their account, even after leaving abroad and can be used via the “MonCompteFormation (MCF)” platform for distance learning or in France, access to the CPF personal space seems to pose a problem. It would be conditioned by the need to provide a French postal address and telephone number, thus creating a barrier for French people established outside France. In a context of mobility growing, both within the European Union and via distance learning, it seems regrettable that these citizens cannot easily access the rights they have acquired. He therefore asks whether specific measures are being considered to allow French people living abroad to access their CPF without constraints linked to their geographical or contractual situation.

Mr. Stéphane Vojetta draws the attention of the Minister of the Economy, Finance and Industrial and Digital Sovereignty to the current impossibility for French people residing abroad, in particular those who have opted for the “Schumacker” regime, to open a popular savings account (LEP). Under the terms of article L. 221-15 of the monetary and financial code, the opening of the LEP is reserved for taxpayers who have their tax domicile in France. It is different for the sustainable and solidarity development booklet (LDDS) and the stock savings plan (PEA), which can be kept in the event of a transfer of tax domicile. It should be noted that a ministerial response from 2016 aimed to confirm that an LDDS already opened as a tax resident of France could be kept by its holder when he or she becomes a “non-Schumacker resident”. “Schumacker non-residents” are assimilated to persons domiciled for tax purposes in France, within the meaning of domestic law (while remaining subject to a limited tax obligation, within the meaning of international conventions). On first reading, these people could therefore open the above-mentioned products, which is, to date, not the case for LEP. According to the website of the Ministry of the Economy, the LEP is “designed to encourage the savings of the most modest”. For open one, you must have a reference tax income lower than a ceiling revised annually, depending on the number of shares in the household. Consequently, provided identical resources, he would like to understand why Schumacker's non-resident compatriots who, by nature, pay most of their income tax in France, cannot open and keep this savings account.

Mr. Stéphane Vojetta questions the Minister of Health and Prevention on the ratification of the convention of the International Commission on Civil Status (CIEC). In fact, pension funds ask their pensioners residing abroad to periodically provide them with a life certificate. This certificate is a necessary condition for receiving the retirement pension from the French general system. However, many French people in Spain have enormous difficulties in obtaining the signature of their French life certificate by the Spanish authorities; a tacit agreement allows the transmission of a Spanish multilingual life certificate stapled to the French life certificate to overcome these difficulties. The CIEC convention relating to the issuance of a life certificate, which France signed in Paris on September 10, 1998, would make it possible to recognize life certificates in France. issued by Belgium, the Netherlands, Luxembourg, Spain, Switzerland, Italy, Germany, Austria, Greece, Portugal and Turkey. The automatic exchange of civil status registers linked to deaths between France and Spain will reduce the number of life certificates requested by pension insurance, but although it is effective, many retirees still have to have the life certificate signed at the Civil Registry, also a Ratification of the said Convention would allow French people living abroad to have a more peaceful retirement in Spain. Also, he would like to know if France intends to soon ratify the convention of the International Commission on Civil Status relating to the issuance of a life certificate.

Mr. Stéphane Vojetta draws the attention of the Minister of Higher Education and Research to the difficulties of French men and women from abroad returning to France or of those who wish to settle abroad and who are confronted with the difficulties of comparing their diplomas. Indeed, these difficulties in obtaining diploma approval concern many French people and result from various explanations, mainly due to a waiting time that is too long to obtain comparability and information that is too inaccessible on the subject with an approval system itself that is too little known. But the first difficulty lies in a lack of harmonization of recognition of diplomas between Member States of the European Union with required documentation which does not exist in certain administrations and incompatibilities between diplomas depending on the country of obtaining and therefore a lack of recognition between the administrations of each State. Thus, approvals are refused because of simple missing documents or not corresponding to the criteria of the country of residence or because of diplomas obtained several decades previously without current reciprocity or even because of a different number of years of study depending on the country and unrecognized training work hours. Added to this are excessively high costs and excessively long procedures relating to the need for sworn translations. However, the obstacle that the request for certification of a diploma can constitute can hinder access to employment which is a fundamental right. This recognition problem strongly impacts many French people living abroad, particularly in Spain. where the relationship with the administration which manages these approvals seems difficult. Indeed, the ENIC-NARIC network is, in Spain, administered by the Ministry of Education and Vocational Training which does not facilitate the recognition of certain sectors or which does not process requests from French people within a reasonable time frame. Certain sectors are therefore more concerned than others because their Spanish equivalent does not exist: specialty LEA and FLE diplomas, DUTs in chemistry, generally the master's level (like the master's degree in geography), professional training such as pastry making, generally "pre Bolonia" diplomas (i.e. before the 1999 agreement signed in Bologna by the ministers of national education of EU countries), BTS Action Commerciale or DEESMA (Bac+3) because non-university qualifications seem problematic, masters Sciences and Technologies, specifically with mention of computer science and mathematics, teaching professions (to enter the public service). French people also face refusals once they return to France where the ENIC-NARIC center does not recognize certain diplomas such as those of agricultural engineer validated in Spain. Furthermore, medical degrees can face difficulties; if this area is sensitive and it is essential to control training that deals with health, there are certain pitfalls, for example, specifically in osteopathy. Comparability seems difficult and the procedures long; to overcome this, a solution exists and consists of having your diploma recognized by the ARS in France then Spain allows registration in the ROE (register of osteopaths in Spain) to then be able to request a equivalence but this installation time hinders professional activity. Also, taking into account all these difficulties, the MP would like to know the Government's provisions in order to propose actions in favor of better recognition of diplomas in the European area, particularly with the ENIC-NARIC center attached to France Éducation international which belongs to the international network of the same name. This network exists to facilitate international mobility but, faced with the subtleties of each state system, seems to slow down the process of recognition of diplomas and, by extension, access to employment. This could possibly involve opening a dialogue with Member State counterparts to strengthen the application of comparability systems. He wants to know his position on the subject.

By decree published on December 20, 2013, the entry into force of which was set for January 1, 2014, the French administration decided to extend the validity period of the identity cards of its fellow citizens.

Mr. Stéphane Vojetta draws the attention of the Minister Delegate to the Minister for Europe and Foreign Affairs, responsible for foreign trade, attractiveness and French people living abroad, to the difficulties encountered by French people living abroad in redeeming their life insurance contract. Indeed, to allow the redemption of life insurance contracts, insurance companies require French people abroad to provide CERFA 5000 and 5002 forms validated by the tax authorities of their country of residence. However, for several months, the Portuguese and Spanish tax authorities have refused to complete these CERFA 5000 and 5002 forms and have asked fellow citizens to provide the tax certificates available on their website. This change was communicated by their tax authorities to their French counterpart, without the latter seems to have informed the insurance companies. Having alerted the non-resident tax department (DINR) of this situation, I was told that the French tax administration recognized foreign tax certificates in place of the CERFA 5000 and 5002 forms. However, as no official communication or directive was given by the French tax administration, the insurance companies persist in requiring CERFA 5000 and 5002 forms and refuse foreign tax certificates. In certain countries, French people living abroad are therefore deprived of the right to benefit from the money available on their life insurance. He asks if it would be possible to act with the French tax administration so that it officially communicates to the insurance companies and other organizations concerned that the Tax certificates from other countries are accepted in place of CERFA 5000 and 5002.

Mr. Stéphane Vojetta draws the attention of the Minister for Europe and Foreign Affairs to the situation of French men and women established outside France who are confronted, upon the death of a loved one in whose inheritance they are, with problems of delay in obtaining the French certificate of non-requirement. Indeed, in the context of the estate of a deceased person, as a tax resident in a non-French territory, in Spain for example, a French person must request a French certificate of non-payment of inheritance tax for inheritances below the deduction of 100,000 euros, in order to allow the French bank to release the deceased's assets and life insurance taken out in France. However, the time limit for issuing this certificate, limited to 6 months in France, too often exceeds the time limit allowed by the authorities of the country of residence which is 5 months in Spain to stay on this example. The international succession in the State of residence of a French national abroad is therefore determined by the French certificate and if the latter takes too long, a French national abroad cannot declare the international succession in time because it is only when he receives the transfer of said assets, through a notary, that he can be able to know the final costs of the French estate, in particular the emoluments as well as the final invoices relating to notarial services which are tax deductible, where applicable, in the example of Spain. Thus, a French person established in Spain cannot validly determine the net inheritance assets, i.e. the gross assets from which the costs have been deducted, when he is awaiting the definitive amount of the costs which will be deducted from the taxable gross in application of international tax provisions, in this case according to the Tax Convention of July 8, 1963 established between France and Spain, then in application of Spanish domestic law. Furthermore, it is possible to request an additional period of 6 months in Spain by indicating within this period (itself 5 months from the death) the assets and liabilities of the estate, even provisional. But in practice, respect for this new deadline is very rarely possible because notarial acts, to be completed, take even longer, sometimes up to more than 10 months after the death of the deceased, also due to notarial processing and the delays of the French tax administration. Also, taking into account all these difficulties, he would like to know the Government's provisions in order to propose shorter deadlines, perhaps even specific to the French established outside France and who depend on other national laws relating to their State of residence, with the aim of allowing them, ultimately, not to be penalized and to benefit from the same inheritance conditions as French people residing in France.

Mr. Stéphane Vojetta draws the attention of the Minister for Europe and Foreign Affairs to the situation of French men and women subject to the deadlines and conditions for transcription of birth certificates by the central civil status service in Nantes under the responsibility of the Ministry of Europe and Foreign Affairs. The subject concerns more specifically requests for birth certificates for French children born in the Principality of Monaco due to French parents residing in this State or whose pregnancy was monitored in the Principality of Monaco for medical reasons. Parents, French residents of Monaco or cross-border workers, known as commuter workers, who represent 43,500 French men and women, or six times more than French residents, find themselves faced with great difficulties regarding the recognition of their children who remain without legal existence for several months under French law. Indeed, the waiting time for the transcription of the birth certificate can have significant repercussions in the lives of French people, despite complete and non-complex files and in particular with regard to French people established abroad or cross-border workers who are therefore required to travel often. Likewise, these requests for an act of birth are sometimes confronted with discrepancies in the transcription of family names themselves. A child born in London when the parents were established there, for example, can have both parents' names, whereas in Monaco, if the same parents move there, only the surname is recognized. Thus, the same siblings can end up with different last names, either both or only one of the two parental names. The central service of Nantes seems to refuse to restore the uniqueness of names for brothers and sisters of the same parents, the administration not accepting this change because a name that can be divided in British law, to keep the same example, is not divisible in French law. Thus, in order to compensate for the excess time in processing requests for birth certificates and, at the same time, to ensure the homogeneity of the last name of the same siblings, it could be a question of proposing that this service of transcription of birth certificates be provided by the town hall of Nice whose agents would be authorized to process Monegasque civil documents as is the case between the CAF and the Monegasque social services fund, for example, which work together to ensure the opening of rights. More generally, for any border region, a system could be set up for cross-border French people residing in France or outside France which would allow them to contact the town hall services of the main towns in neighboring regions. Also, he would like to know if this solution is possible or what improvements the Government can make to this administrative and legal functioning.
