Mr. Gérard Leseul draws the attention of the Minister of Solidarity and Health to the situation of personnel in the private non-profit health, social and medico-social sector. On February 11, 2021, a majority agreement was reached on a revaluation for professionals in social and medical social establishments attached to a public establishment. This beneficial agreement excludes non-profit private sector agents. They represent yet 80% of the medico-social sector. This differential treatment of staff who perform identical functions depending on their belonging to a private or public establishment risks completely disrupting the non-profit medical-social sector, which is nevertheless essential to daily care for many fellow citizens. It also carries a message of devaluation of these personnel, even though they are also on the front line of the fight against this pandemic. He asks him what measures he plans to take to restore equal treatment between public and non-profit private medico-social staff.

Mr. Gérard Leseul draws the attention of the Minister of Solidarity and Health to the subject of the perilous situation in the public psychiatry sector. This essential activity has been marked for several years by bed reductions, the closure of certain outpatient structures, but also by a medical demographic crisis and a constant decline in the attractiveness of psychiatric professions. Working for a better Supervision of the use of isolation and restraint is a necessity to move towards more efficient and more humane care of patients. However, the achievement of this objective is particularly compromised given the lack of resources and staff experienced by public psychiatric establishments.

Mr. Gérard Leseul draws the attention of the Minister of Solidarity and Health to the subject of the legal protection of adults. Judicial services for the legal protection of adults, non-profit associations, support nearly 400,000 vulnerable people, often isolated, throughout the country, including more than 11,000 in Seine-Maritime. The professionals of these services contribute to national cohesion through the accomplishment of their public service mission to the most precarious. The recent health crisis has shown the importance of the support provided by these actors to the most vulnerable, through the support provided and the role of social shock absorber so sought after during this period. More than 800,000 people are affected by legal protection, all modes of practicing the profession combined: people losing their autonomy, people in disabled, young adults leaving ESA institutions, people with severe psychiatric disorders, citizens in great precariousness. By 2040, demographic forecasts indicate 2 million adults who will be affected by a legal protection measure. However, the resources allocated to these measures (which concern the convictions of citizens) are insufficient, even though investing in prevention and support helps limit curative expenses. However, the budgetary reality is unsatisfactory: a professional must support nearly 60 people in their missions to protect property and people, which is important to carry out quality work. It is important to recognize and support these professionals by acting on the one hand on a sufficient number of hires for better protection of vulnerable people by reducing the number of monitoring per agent and on the other hand by providing professionals with a status and remuneration commensurate with the societal challenges of today and tomorrow. He questions him to find out the Government's ambitions to support and reform this absolutely essential support for the most vulnerable people.

Mr. Gérard Leseul draws the attention of the Minister of Labor, Employment and Integration to the representativeness of professional organizations, a particularly sensitive subject which concerns all local businesses and in particular craft construction companies. A particularly unfair reality is imposed today in terms of employer representativeness: the professional organization which decides in the field of Social is not the organization with the largest number of members but the one whose member companies employ the most employees. Indeed, in the construction sector, the current rules establishing the representativeness of professional organizations do not give CAPEB the possibility of being heard despite its 57,000 member companies. CAPEB does not expect the Government to take sides, but rather to only puts in place fair “rules of the game” so that representatives of VSEs can make their voices heard in social dialogue. CAPEB questions him on the reasons for the non-publication by his ministry of the representativeness orders of employee union organizations in the field of companies employing up to 10 employees even though a new weighing has just been carried out. During his intervention at the annual general meeting of CAPEB in Paris, on April 22, 2021, the Minister recognized that the situation was not satisfactory at a time when we want to attract young people to the construction professions. The minister indicated that it was necessary to find a solution “from above”. CAPEB, like the U2P, solemnly appeals to the Government to modify the rules regarding representativeness. He him asks you to please clarify your position on the subject and indicate what immediate measure it intends to put in place so that craft businesses occupy their rightful place in social dialogue.

Mr. Gérard Leseul alerts the Minister Delegate to the Minister of the Economy, Finance and Recovery, responsible for industry, about the responsibility of Member States and laboratories in the event of a defective covid-19 vaccine. Articles 1245 et seq. of the civil code on liability for defective products state that laboratories, that is to say "the producer is responsible for damage caused by a defect in its product, whether or not it is bound by a contract with the victim” (article 1245), unless it proves that “the state of scientific and technical knowledge, at the time when it put the product into circulation, did not make it possible to detect the existence of the defect” (art. 1245-10). This principle is clear. However, the delegate minister responsible for industry recently explained that, in the event of defective vaccines, “the Government recognizes that the producer's liability may, in certain specific circumstances, not be incurred. » Also, it seems that the anticipated purchase contracts (between laboratories and States) provide that Member States compensate the manufacturer for responsibilities incurred under certain conditions. The issue of the covid-19 vaccine requires great transparency and clarity towards citizens. We cannot content with vague formulas concerning the possible liability of laboratories. He asks him to specify the “certain particular circumstances” and “conditions” which would relieve the laboratories of their responsibilities.

Mr. Gérard Leseul draws the attention of the Minister of Ecological Transition to the collapse of bee colonies. According to a report from the National Research Institute for Agriculture, Food and the Environment (INRAE), domestic bee populations have suffered significant losses since the 1990s. The reasons are multiple, presence of pesticides, lack of food diversity in agricultural areas cereal crops, disappearance of hedges, existence of diseases or even proliferation of predators such as Asian hornets or Varroa. The role of these pollinating insects is fundamental for plant reproduction. With a significant decline in the bee population, there are fears that the plants we use for food and medicine will disappear.

Mr. Gérard Leseul draws the attention of the Minister of Culture to the expectations of blind people in France regarding their access to the world of books. This access depends on the facilitation of the dissemination of the braille system and the financial resources that are allocated. Today, we still see a very small proportion of existing works on the market available in Braille. This lack compromises access to culture for the blind and particularly for young people who are experiencing difficulties in their studies. It should also be noted that the prices of these works are much higher than others, which constitutes a real inequality to the disadvantage of the visually impaired. The MP recalls that the Federation of the Blind and Amblyopic of France has already formulated several avenues to improve the current situation. He questions him in order to take knowledge of the measures that the Government plans to implement in this context to improve access to books for the blind.

Mr. Gérard Leseul draws the attention of the Minister Delegate to the Prime Minister, responsible for equality between women and men, diversity and equal opportunities, to the subject of the national action plan for equal rights, against hatred and anti-LGBT+ discrimination (2020-2023). This plan brings together all the interministerial measures to be pursued or initiated for equal rights, against hatred and anti-LGBT+ discrimination. We must welcome this initiative which allows us to have a transversal vision of the actions carried out and to understand the subject of LGBT+ rights as a global and common objective to achieve. Unfortunately, even if the figures are decreasing for the first time since 2015, too many French people are still subjected to physical, verbal attacks or discrimination based on their sexual orientation. The 2021 LGBTphobia report highlights in particular the impact of health measures on prevention actions which have been restricted. We must take this fact very seriously, because it is through awareness and education from a very young age that we can work on prejudices and the fight against all forms of hatred. This subject is also treated quite widely in the national plan of actions for equal rights, against hatred and anti-LGBT+ discrimination, within part 5 entitled “Promote inclusive education and reduce prejudice” on page 29. Action 20 is also entitled “Fight against LGBTphobia among young people” and one of the interministerial measures consists of “launching an awareness campaign bringing together all the ministries having under their supervision schools or higher education establishments in order to convey a strong and unique message to all young people.

Many consumers have electronic communication of an automatic modification of their telecommunications package or subscription with an increase in the price, unless refusal explicitly expressed. This practice of automatic sales can be compared to a form of forced sale, where the consumer is deemed to be a subscriber in the absence of refusal.

Mr. Gérard Leseul draws the attention of the Minister of the Economy, Finance and Recovery to the influence of the FDJ in times of health and social crisis. Today the economy is paralyzed, companies are laying off their employees to survive, businesses are running out of steam, associations are dying, purchasing power is down 4% compared to 2019 and in the third quarter of 2020, the number of unemployed in the sense of the ILO reached 2.7 million people in France, an increase of 628,000 people. It is in this context that the FDJ chose to launch its new advertising campaign in which we can hear the verb “win” 26 times during the 60 seconds of the spot. At a time when the risk of addiction is greater than ever, it encourages citizens to play games of money and chance and targets the most vulnerable, those who have “lost” the most. in the health, economic and social crisis that the country is going through.

Mr. Gérard Leseul draws the attention of the Minister for Europe and Foreign Affairs to respect for human rights in Bahrain and more specifically to the detention of political opponents. Since 2011 and the events of the Arab Spring which were repressed by force in this archipelago, the regime has been increasingly repressive with recurring human rights violations which must be taken into account. In 2020, Bahrain still denied access to its territory to human rights observers, including Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch and UN human rights bodies. The country was still a member of the Saudi-led coalition in the armed conflict in Yemen. People who express their opinions about human rights violations and their loved ones regularly face reprisals. THE For example, authorities have taken more than 20 legal actions against Kameel Juma Hasan, a 17-year-old teenager, son of former prisoner Najah Ahmed Yusuf. He and his mother had refused to become informants for the state security services. Around ten Shiite civic, religious and political figures are still in detention. Several of them had been incarcerated since 2011 for having participated in large-scale opposition demonstrations that year. Ali Salman, leader of Bahrain's largest legal political movement between 2006 and 2011, is still serving the life sentence he was sentenced to in 2018 on trumped-up charges of "spying" for Qatar according to an investigation by Amnesty International. Sentenced to life imprisonment, Dr. AlSingace has spent the last ten years in prison. He was one of 13 opposition activists, arrested between March 17 and April 9, 2011, who were subsequently convicted by a military court. According to the Bahrain Independent Commission of Inquiry, he was subjected to brutal torture. On July 8, 2021, he began a hunger strike to protest against the degrading treatment of which he had been a victim, against the restriction of only being allowed to call five numbers during the current pandemic and finally to demand the return of his book. Dr. AlSingace suffers from several chronic illnesses, including post-polio syndrome and a musculoskeletal condition. Since the start of his incarceration he has been the victim of constant medical negligence on the part of the prison authorities. The international community has continued to demand his immediate and unconditional release, including the United Nations special rapporteurs on human rights defenders, leading international human rights organizations and American, British and European legislators. He would like to know what France's position is on these various human rights violations and whether diplomatic actions are currently underway to encourage the country to respect fundamental human rights (the rights of women and migrants, right to a fair trial, freedom of the press, etc.).

Mr. Gérard Leseul questions the Minister of Solidarity and Health about the distribution of CAF benefits. In matters of divorce and the exercise of visitation and accommodation rights, the family court judge focuses on the interests of the child. It is, therefore, in the child's best interest to see both parents. The child's care or accommodation time is shared between the two parents, which can range from 25% for a DVH classic 50% for shared custody. Each of the two parents must therefore be able to welcome their child in suitable material conditions requiring a minimum of resources. But article L. 513-1 of the social security code only attributes “effective and permanent responsibility for the child” to one of the two parents. There is therefore a legal contradiction here between the text and the reality of the facts. This flaw leads to a unequal treatment between parents with regard to the distribution of CAF benefits. Consequently, the article is discriminatory and does not allow the Family Allowance Fund to share aid between separated or divorced parents, including exceptional aid to low-income families. Also, he would like to know if the Government is considering a reform so that all social benefits are distributed fairly to each parent, in proportion to the child's custody or accommodation time defined by the family affairs judge, taking into account the resources of each, like the withholding tax system.

Mr. Gérard Leseul draws the attention of the Minister of the Economy, Finance and Recovery to the use by local authorities of complementary local currencies. Although the law on the social and solidarity economy (ESS) of July 2014 introduced the title of complementary local currency into the monetary and financial code, the current French legal framework does not allow optimal use of these currencies by communities. These can certainly accept payments in local currency and ensure that some of their payments can be received in local currency by their recipients, but they can neither collect nor disburse means of payment in local currency. Decree No. 2012-1246 of November 7, 2012 provides that the acceptable means of payment are those provided for by the monetary and financial code. But the decree of December 24, 2012, which establishes the restrictive list of means and payment instruments acceptable to public authorities, has not been revised following the modification of the monetary and financial code by the introduction of complementary local currency securities in 2014. This lack of revision currently prevents local authorities from having an account in local currency, which could then be debited or credited according to their income and expenses made with these means of payment. Paying treasurers are also unable to open and manage a local currency account for communities that wish to do so. Convinced that the use of complementary local currencies by communities could be a powerful lever for economic recovery of territories from an ecological and sustainable perspective, he would like to know its position on possible regulatory developments facilitating this system.

Mr. Gérard Leseul draws the attention of the Secretary of State to the Minister of the Economy, Finance and Recovery, responsible for the social, solidarity and responsible economy, to the subject of the legal security of aid to cooperative societies of collective interest (Scic). The Scic is an entrepreneurial structure which has the particularity of associating different economic actors, public and private, while reconciling economic activity and general interest. This type of entrepreneurial organization is present in particular in the areas of the fight against medical deserts (Ordinance No. 2018-17 of January 12, 2018 relating to the conditions for the creation and operation of health centers), the development of citizen energy (Enercoop) and shared housing (HLM cooperatives), the transformation of the sports sector or the revitalization of territories. Currently, uncertainty over the application of state aid regulations regarding subsidies for these structures limits their development. Indeed, article 8 of decree no. 2002-241 of February 21, 2002 relating to the cooperative society of collective interest, taken in application of article 19 decies of law no. 47-1775 of September 10, 1947 establishing the status of cooperation, provides in its article 8 and following compliance with the rules concerning State aid for subsidies paid to SCICs. However, this decree has not been updated since 2002 and it refers to texts repealed or modified in particular by the Treaty establishing the European Community and Regulation (EC) No. 69/2001 of January 12, 2001 concerning the application of Articles 87 and 88 of the EC Treaty to de minimis aid or Commission Regulation (EC) No. 70/2001 of January 12 2001 regarding the application of Articles 87 and 88 of the EC Treaty to State aid in favor of small and medium-sized enterprises. Consequently, a restrictive reading led to the application of a derogatory state aid regime for SCICs by considering firstly, that article 8 of the said decree only allowed the granting of an operating subsidy up to the de minimis amount and secondly that article 9 requires compliance with the rules concerning aid to SMEs for any subsidy in favor of investments, without taking into account their purpose. Beyond creating a derogatory regime contrary to European law, this interpretation aims to deprive certain cultural or general interest projects of the benefit of the exemptions granted to them by European texts, which deprives local actors of an innovative economic and democratic mechanism. From then on, he requests clarification on the legal situation of the Scic while specifying whether the common law on state aid applies to the Scic or whether the decree of February 21, 2002 establishes a derogation regime and within what time frame the said decree will be updated.

Mr. Gérard Leseul draws the attention of the Minister Delegate to the Minister of Health, Families, Autonomy and Disabled People, responsible for autonomy and disabled people, to the need to better guarantee the maintenance and continuity of operation of stair lifts installed in the homes of elderly people, losing their autonomy or disabled people. As part of the adaptation policy from housing to loss of autonomy, the State encourages and financially supports the installation of equipment allowing elderly people or people with disabilities to continue living at home. As such, the installation of a stair lift is among the work that can be covered under MaPrimeAdapt'. The National Housing Agency also presents the stair lift as equipment allowing stay at home safely and preserve your autonomy. However, if the public authorities financially support the installation of this equipment, no general guarantee comparable to that applicable to elevators seems today to ensure their regular maintenance, their long-term availability or their return to operation within a time period compatible with the situation of the people who depend on them. This situation is particularly worrying for the most vulnerable people. For an elderly person losing their independence or a person with a disability, a stair lift is not a piece of comfort equipment. It can constitute the very condition for access to the floor where the bedroom or bathroom is located, but also, in certain configurations, the only possibility of leaving one's accommodation. Its breakdown can thus lead to a real situation of house arrest, preventing access to care or essential services and increasing the isolation of already vulnerable people. It therefore appears necessary to question the existence of a real right to the continued operation of equipment essential to maintaining a home. A person who has benefited from public support to adapt their housing should not be able to find yourself permanently deprived of the use of this equipment due to a lack of maintenance, excessive intervention time or the unavailability of a spare part. Also, he asks what measures the Government intends to take to establish a regulatory framework guaranteeing the upkeep and maintenance of stair lifts installed in the homes of elderly people, those losing their autonomy or those with disabilities.

Mr. Gérard Leseul draws the attention of the Minister of the Economy, Finance and Industrial, Energy and Digital Sovereignty to the differences in treatment existing between employed taxpayers and retired taxpayers in terms of the flat-rate tax deduction of 10%. Pursuant to article 83 of the general tax code, salaries and wages benefit from a flat-rate deduction of 10% for professional expenses, the amount of which is, for income received in 2025, capped at 14,555 euros per employee. Conversely, pursuant to article 158 of the same code, pensions and retirement benefits benefit from a 10% reduction, the amount of which is capped, for 2025 income, at 4,439 euros for the entire tax household. This difference is particularly significant for couples. Thus, two employees belonging to the same tax household can benefit, in theory, from a deduction of up to 29,110 euros, while two retirees, regardless of the distribution of their pensions between the two members of the couple, remain subject to an overall ceiling of 4,439 euros. It should be noted that the reduction applicable to pensions is not legally presented as taking into account professional expenses. Therefore, the argument according to which retirees would no longer incur costs linked to the exercise of a professional activity cannot, in itself, justify the difference in regime. Created in 1977, the reduction applicable to pensions responded in particular to the desire to take into account the situation of people when they retire and the reduction in their income. However, the economic and social situation of retirees, like that of working people, has profoundly evolved. since that time. Furthermore, recent parliamentary work devoted to the evolution of this reduction has itself led to questions about its purpose and its adaptation to the economic and social realities of the moment. In this context, he asks him to specify the economic, social and budgetary elements which justify, today, the difference between the ceiling of 14,555 euros applicable individually to employees and that of 4,439 euros applicable globally to retirees, to indicate the reasons why the ceiling of the reduction applicable to pensions is assessed at the level of the tax household and not at the level of each pension holder, even though pensions are received individually by each taxpayer, and to indicate whether it has an assessment of the impact of this difference in treatment on taxpayers retirees, in particular on couples receiving two pensions, and whether it envisages an evolution of the system allowing better consideration of the individual situation of each pension holder.

Mr. Gérard Leseul draws the attention of the Prime Minister to the conditions of application of the rules relating to the material and human resources from which former Prime Ministers may benefit, as well as to the risks of circumvention of these rules by the attribution of specific missions or functions. Decree No. 2019-973 of September 20, 2019 relating to the situation of former Prime Ministers provided in particular for the updating of provision, at their request, of a company vehicle and a car driver, with the State covering the related expenses. This system was modified by Decree No. 2025-965 of September 16, 2025, which limited the duration during which a former Prime Minister can benefit from these means to ten years from the cessation of office. Former Prime Ministers who left office more than ten years ago should therefore cease to benefit from it no later than January 1, 2026. However, the information recently made public concerning the situation of Mr. Jean-Pierre Raffarin raises questions about the possibility, for a former Prime Minister no longer meeting the conditions provided for by the decree, of benefiting again, directly or indirectly, from a vehicle and a driver financed by the State under a mission entrusted to him by a administration or a member of the Government. If such a situation were to prove true, it would raise a significant difficulty with regard to the spirit of the 2025 reform. Indeed, the objective of the latter was precisely to put an end to material advantages whose duration could appear disproportionate with regard to the effective exercise of public functions. The one-off or lasting attribution of a mission cannot have the consequence of reestablishing, under another administrative classification, an advantage to which the person concerned is no longer eligible pursuant to the decree. He therefore asks him to please specify under what conditions a former Prime Minister who has ceased to benefit from the means provided for by Decree No. 2019-973 can be assigned a mission, a function or a representation by the State giving right to the provision of a vehicle with driver and what rules govern such a decision. He also asks him to specify whether checks are carried out in order to verify that the attribution of a public mission to a former Prime Minister responds to a real need of the administration and does not constitute a means of maintaining or indirectly re-establishing material advantages to which the person concerned can no longer claim.

Mr. Gérard Leseul draws the attention of the Minister of Health, Families, Autonomy and People with Disabilities to the measures envisaged by the Government aimed at reducing the coverage of certain health expenses by health insurance. The Government announced, on June 12, 2026, several measures likely to represent up to two billion euros in expenses transferred from national solidarity to policyholders. social services, including an increase in user fees for certain healthcare items as well as an increase in medical deductibles and flat-rate contributions. The renewal of the tax on members of complementary health insurance organizations was also mentioned. These announcements raise legitimate questions about their consequences on access to care and the level of out-of-pocket costs borne by the French. They come at a time when health expenses already constitute a significant burden for many households and when forgoing care for financial reasons remains a major concern. The most precarious people, the elderly and those suffering from chronic pathologies could be particularly exposed to these transfers of burdens. Furthermore, some of these measures could be implemented even before the examination of the social security financing bill for 2027, by regulation. Such a prospect raises an important democratic question since it would lead to a substantial modification of the coverage of health expenses without Parliament being able to first debate it within the framework of the examination of the PLFSS. In this context, he asks him to specify the exact nature, the timetable and amount of the measures envisaged, as well as the health expenditure items concerned and their estimated impact on the remainder payable by those insured under social security. It also asks it to specify whether the Government actually intends to implement certain of these measures by regulation before the examination of the PLFSS for 2027 and, if necessary, to guarantee that no substantial reduction in insurance coverage illness will not be decided without debate and vote by Parliament. Finally, he asks what measures the Government intends to take to ensure that the search for savings to reduce the social security deficit does not result in an increasing transfer of expenditure to those with social insurance, to the detriment of access to care and the reduction of health inequalities.

Mr. Gérard Leseul draws the attention of the Minister of Action and Public Accounts to the abuses linked to the application of the new accountability regime for local public managers in accordance with Ordinance No. 2022-408 of March 23, 2022. This reform, which entered into force on January 1, 2023, pursued the legitimate objective of strengthening probity in the management of public accounts and unifying the applicable liability rules to local public managers. However, several decisions handed down by financial courts raise questions about the concrete application of this system. Indeed, public officials were convicted even though no personal enrichment was evident, certain irregularities had been regularized and no actual financial damage had been suffered by the community concerned. Such interpretation makes this system excessively harsh. Thus, the institution of this regime is likely to create a climate of legal insecurity among territorial agents. Indeed, this system, as applied, places financial risks on public officials, but without taking into account local operational constraints or the complexity of administrative procedures. To this extent, this device is a factor of legal uncertainty for public managers, leading them to renounce certain initiatives or to refrain from reporting irregularities for fear of seeing their personal liability engaged. Such a situation could encourage inaction which is detrimental to the proper functioning and continuity of the public service. Finally, this situation also risks accentuating the tension of attractiveness already experienced by territorial professions. The MP asks him if the Government intends to take stock of the application of this new regime of liability for public managers and, if this is the case, what it plans to advance the legal framework in order to reconcile the requirement of probity of managers with their legal security.

Mr. Gérard Leseul draws the attention of the Minister of Labor and Solidarity to the concerns raised by the reductions in credits announced for the Identification and Remobilization Offer (O2R). Deployed since 2019 as part of the Skills Investment Plan (PIC), this offer has demonstrated its ability to reach out to those furthest from employment and institutions and in particular people in situations of great need. precariousness, young people on the outs, people facing difficulties with health, mobility, housing or even access to rights. The evaluations carried out with the State led to recognition of the relevance of this system, now enshrined in common law by the law for full employment, in order to allow its deployment on a national scale. Today, more than 200 projects are implemented throughout the territory, making it possible to support nearly 30,000 people each year after identifying more than 50,000 potential beneficiaries, while mobilizing around 1,500 jobs. However, budgetary decisions seem to indicate a national reduction in credits of around 33%, with reductions of up to 75% for certain operators. This situation occurs even though the agreements were concluded in a logic multi-year. These reductions risk weakening the associative structures involved, interrupting the support pathways for particularly vulnerable people and compromising the effects of public investments already made. They appear to be in contradiction with the objectives pursued by the law for full employment, which aims precisely to strengthen support for those furthest from employment. He him asks what measures the Government intends to take to guarantee the effective deployment of the Identification and Remobilization Offer, if it plans to secure a multi-annual national funding trajectory, to authorize the carry-over of unused approved credits in order to take into account project ramp-up times, to mobilize additional co-financing, particularly from Europe, and to limit reductions in credits in progress in order to allow operators to adapt their activities without calling into question the continuity of support for beneficiaries.
