Mr. Laurent Alexandre alerts the Minister of Health, Families, Autonomy and Persons with Disabilities to dysfunctions noted on the ground concerning the application of the freezing of contributions provided for by article 13 of the social security financing law for 2026. Article 13 provides for an exceptional contribution of 2.05% on the income of supplementary health insurance organizations for the year 2026. elsewhere, I° clearly states that “for the year 2026, the amount of these contributions cannot be increased compared to that applicable for the year 2025”. In other words, the law imposes the obligation to freeze the rates paid by policyholders to complementary health insurance organizations for the year 2026 in relation to the rates applied by these organizations in 2025. The objective is to avoid the repercussions of the exceptional contribution established by the same article on insured persons. III° of Article 13 specifies that the latter applies from January 1, 2026. However, the MP has been alerted by many citizens in his constituency of difficulties in the application of this freeze on contributions. In fact, members of complementary health insurance organizations have seen the prices applied to them increase in 2026, in defiance of provisions of article 13 and its application as of January 1, 2026. The protection of policyholders is however essential to prevent the burden of the exceptional contribution to supplementary health insurance organizations mentioned in article 13 of the social security financing law from falling on them. This measure is all the more essential for the purchasing power of members in the current situation, given the rising fuel prices and the general rise in prices, particularly in rural areas where the use of the car is essential to everyday life. Several policyholders have reported that when they contact the mediation bodies of their organization to ask them for the effective application of the price freeze for 2026, some indicate in their response that “the precise implementation of the legal provisions is still in progress clarification" and thus postpone the implementation of the price freeze provided for by law for 2026. The latter seem to be based on IV° of Article 13, which provides that "before March 31, 2026, the Government and the National Union of Health Insurance Funds enter into negotiations with the National Union of Supplementary Health Insurance Organizations relating to the conditions ensuring that the amount of the contribution established in this article is not passed on by the organizations subject to the supplementary health insurance contributions stipulated during the current and future financial years. He deplores this confusion maintained by the responses of the organizations between the freezing of prices, which must be effective for the year 2026 and the negotiations provided for by law on the conditions aimed at avoiding the repercussion of the contribution exceptional on the contributions paid by their members. Thus, faced with the observation made by the MP on the lack of effectiveness in the application of the price freeze for members of complementary health insurance organizations, he wishes to know whether measures are planned by the Government to enforce this legislative provision and if so, what the modalities would be. Therefore, to enforce effectively the law in the interest of policyholders, he asks it to confirm that article 13 of the social security financing law and particularly its I°, concerning the freezing of the amount of contributions for the year 2026 is indeed effective and directly enforceable by policyholders against their supplementary health insurance organization since January 1, 2026 and that no condition precedent to this freeze is provided; a return to the negotiations between the Government and the representatives of supplementary health insurance organizations which had to be initiated before March 31, 2026, in accordance with IV° of article 13 of the social security financing law, in particular to ensure that the subject of these negotiations is a subject quite distinct from the obligation to freeze the amount of contributions for the year 2026 and to control, always in the interest of the insured, the failures in the application of the obligation to freeze prices by supplementary health insurance organizations. He therefore wishes to know the means planned by the Government on the one hand to enforce the law to allow policyholders to be reimbursed quickly in the event of overpayment from supplementary health insurance organizations.

Mr. Laurent Alexandre alerts the Minister of Health, Families, Autonomy and Disabled People to the partial dereimbursement of thermal cures planned by the Government. A draft decree aimed at massively dereimbursing prescribed spa treatments has been made public. This corresponds to the roadmap set by the Government in the social security financing bill (PLFSS) for 2026, where it announced that "measures to refocus health insurance coverage on the most efficient care (0.3 billion euros) were necessary: thus, the rate of coverage for thermal cures will be reduced." Hydrotherapy is, however, an effective medicine. Each year, it allows 500,000 patients suffering from chronic diseases to find lasting relief, reducing pain, improving quality of life and limiting the use of medications and hospitalizations. These are not comfort cures. It is a medicine prescribed by a healthcare professional, supervised by rigorous therapeutic protocols and carried out in approved establishments. A prevention tool, it delays the progression of illnesses, avoids costly treatments and limits hospitalizations. It is based on around sixty clinical studies and is strictly supervised by health insurance, which recognizes its therapeutic legitimacy. The deputies also reaffirmed their support for thermal cures by massively rejecting an amendment which called them into question during the examination of the PLFSS 2026. The dereimbursement desired by the Government would penalize the most vulnerable in particular. This would increase their renunciation of care, the reimbursement of which would drop from 100 to 65% for patients in ALD and from 65 to 15% for all others. The rest will therefore be the responsibility of the insured. Likewise, such a measure would call into question the very existence of thermal medicine, undermining the socio-health and economic balance of rural areas. 70% of the stations are located in municipalities with less than 5,000 inhabitants, ensuring a medical presence, intensifying the fight against medical deserts and revitalizing the territories. THE thermal establishments represent 4.8 billion euros in annual economic benefits as well as 25,000 direct and indirect jobs. Finally, the current cost for health insurance remains marginal, representing 0.1% of national health expenditure, for a large contribution to public health. Such a dereimbursement would be counterproductive in that it would ultimately increase the social security bill. The expected saving of 200 million euros would be marginal and quickly canceled out by the costs of replacement care. In addition, the State would deprive itself of significant tax revenues, particularly in terms of VAT and social security contributions. The MP believes that the health of the French cannot be put in the second place under the pretext of making savings, which would certainly not be there in the long term and which will in reality be a source of additional difficulties for the most vulnerable people, for the economy of thermal territories and for social security itself. He therefore wishes to know the Government's intentions in terms of dereimbursement of thermal treatments. He also asks him if he actually plans to reduce access to care for people with long-term illnesses through regulations.

M. Laurent Alexandre alerte Mme la ministre de l'agriculture, de l'agro-alimentaire et de la souveraineté alimentaire au sujet de l'absence de décret d'application de la Loi n° 2025-237 du 14 mars 2025 visant à endiguer la prolifération du frelon asiatique et à préserver la filière apicole. De nombreux professionnels sont directement concernés par la prolifération du frelon asiatique dans le pays. Cette espèce invasive, arrivée en France il y a deux décennies, représente une menace réelle pour la biodiversité et en particulier les pollinisateurs indispensables à l'agriculture. Sans abeilles et sans pollinisateurs, c'est toute la chaîne alimentaire qui vacille. Or 30 à 35 % des colonies d'abeilles disparaissent chaque année et le frelon asiatique est responsable de 20 % de leur mortalité. Cela représente une perte de 12 millions d'euros par an pour la filière apicole. Au cours des dernières semaines, des dizaines de milliers de ruches ont été détruites par les frelons et les apiculteurs désespèrent. Le coût de destruction des nids de frelons demeure particulièrement élevé et constitue souvent un frein à l'action des autorités locales. La formation individuelle des intervenants habilités pour l'élimination des frelons asiatiques coûte environ 500 euros et les apiculteurs que M. le député a rencontrés estiment nécessaire de disposer d'au moins un agent formé par commune. Le financement par l'État des actions de destructions constituerait une réponse efficace à la prolifération de l'espèce. En plus de ce phénomène, les apiculteurs font face à plusieurs autres menaces pour leur activité. La prolifération du varroa destructor un acarien parasite de l'abeille, s'ajoute à celle du frelon, menaçant encore plus l'espèce. En outre, 40 % du miel consommé en France est importé, ne répondant souvent pas aux normes de qualité imposées aux producteurs français. Les apiculteurs ont besoin que ces importations soient encadrées, afin de garantir une concurrence équitable. Face à la prolifération du frelon asiatique, la loi du 14 mars 2025 a été votée à l'unanimité afin de remédier aux lacunes de l'action publique et le Gouvernement s'était engagé à publier un décret au plus tard à l'automne 2025. Cette mise en application devrait permettre d'organiser un plan de lutte national contre le frelon asiatique à pattes jaunes, décliné en plans départementaux. Or le décret d'application n'a toujours pas été publié au Journal officiel . M. le député estime urgente la mise en place du plan de lutte national contre le frelon asiatique et l'indemnisation des apiculteurs affectés par sa prolifération. Il lui demande donc les intentions du Gouvernement concernant la publication du décret et il rappelle à celui-ci les risques auxquels le pays s'expose en l'absence d'application.

Mr. Laurent Alexandre alerts the Minister of Health, Families, Autonomy and People with Disabilities to the double lasting shortage of Repatha and Praluent, two PCSK9 inhibitors essential for thousands of patients suffering from familial hypercholesterolemia or serious cardiovascular pathologies, which are the leading cause of death in France after cancer. Concretely, people are deprived of treatment vital, while the State remains a spectator of the relocation of production and financial strategies of pharmaceutical groups, in defiance of medical sovereignty. Thousands of patients without treatment have been forced to switch from Praluent, out of stock since 2024, to Repatha, which itself has been unavailable in many pharmacies since March 2025. There is to date no prospect of a return to conditions normal supply conditions. The situation is such that the ANSM has had to implement strict rationing of Repatha, reserving the last boxes for patients already under treatment, while newly diagnosed patients are left without a solution. Human tragedies are looming and demonstrate unacceptable industrial dependence. Sanofi, a French group responsible for numerous relocations, made 20 billion euros of investments in the United States of America and requested the delisting of Praluent, before negotiations resume with the French authorities. Amgen, the American laboratory producing Repatha, cites “increased global demand” to justify the shortages, but clearly prioritizes its domestic market. Result: neither of the two drugs is today guaranteed in the territory, even though they are vital for thousands of patients. After the highly publicized scandal of the sale of Opella, parent company of Doliprane, the inaction of the public authorities is obvious. No measures have been taken to force laboratories to maintain minimum stocks in France or to relocate production, nor to sanction supply disruptions and set up a national strategic stock for critical drugs, as many are nevertheless recommending. experts. The MP believes that the health of the French cannot be endangered by the financial calculations of large groups. Public authorities must take firm action. Thus, in view of this health and industrial crisis, he wishes to know, on the one hand, what emergency measures the Government intends to take to ensure the supply of molecules against cardiovascular diseases such as Praluent and the Remetha. On the other hand, faced with the recurrence of these shortages, he asked what the Government's intentions are in terms of medical sovereignty and whether it plans to nationalize certain strategic productions, strictly regulate the practices of pharmaceutical multinationals or condition public aid on local production commitments.

Mr. Laurent Alexandre alerts the Minister of Sports, Youth and Community Life to the drop in funding affecting civic service in 2025. On February 24, 2025, following the end of the freezing of civic service contracts after the vote in the National Assembly on the 2025 finance bill, the Minister declared: “Civic service is an essential program, offering our young people the opportunity to get involved, to feel useful by working for causes of general interest, while developing valuable skills for their professional future. I will continue to support this dynamic to guarantee our young people, the actors of tomorrow, the best opportunities for engagement. ". Until now, civic service was presented as a success and a vector of social diversity to support young people towards employment. The launch of the ecological civic service in 2025 was to strengthen this dynamic and propose a response to the eco-anxiety of young people and the climate emergency. However, for the calendar year 2025, the Government has just announced the reduction in the number of missions, from 87,000 to 72,000, i.e. a total elimination of 15,000 missions. This drop in funding is a very bad signal sent to young people, sending them back to a budgetary adjustment variable. Youth and social cohesion are nevertheless displayed as priorities for the President of the Republic and the Government. Removing these missions amounts to depriving society of the structuring impact and emancipatory role of civic service on young people. Furthermore, this decision is both a material and symbolic blow to the entire French associative fabric. These are mainly associations, public establishments and communities that host volunteers. After the freezing of contracts in February, this decision further weakens the situation of the infrastructures which welcome young people on missions, while they are already impacted by chronic underfinancing and uncertain public aid. Associations play an essential role in civic service: they are at its origin and still represent 60% of organizations today. reception. Since 2010, they have enabled more than 500,000 young people to get involved. The drop in the number of civic service missions, if it were maintained, would be a serious blow to the associations which energize the territories and keep a social, ecological and cultural fabric still standing, despite the disengagement of the State. He therefore asks him to maintain the number of civic service missions at 87,000 for the year 2025. He asks it if it can also commit to putting in place multi-year planning concerning civic service and its missions, in order to guarantee greater clarity and stability for all the welcoming structures which depend on it.

Mr. Laurent Alexandre questions the Minister of the Economy, Finance and Industrial and Digital Sovereignty about his decision to suspend the “MaPrimeRénov” system which aims to help owners in financing energy renovation work and whose subsidies granted vary depending on household income and the type of work planned. This decision arouses concern among economic players in the energy renovation sector whose activity depends greatly on this system. It is also a decision that penalizes French people who live in a situation of fuel poverty. For the old buildings of a rural department like Aveyron, this system must not only be maintained but extended and improved. Since the implementation of the MaPrimeRénov system, more than 2.4 million homes have been renovated, generating, according to the Agency National Housing Authority (ANAH), more than 37 billion works. Energy renovation represents 30% of the activity of members of the French building federation and 600,000 employees. It is therefore an essential economic sector to support, in a context where craft construction companies are already experiencing a drop in their volume of activity of 5% compared to the first quarter of 2024. This suspension comes after a sudden change in the allocation criteria decided at the beginning of 2024 then a division by two of the credits opened between the Finance Bill for 2024 and the PLF for 2025. MaPrimeRénov has become, due to the Government's choices, a budgetary adjustment variable of which professional sectors but also the French are victims. There are 12 million people living in energy poverty. Many suffer cold, humidity, heat in their homes and often do not have the means to meet their energy bills. According to the Environment and Energy Management Agency (ADEME), in 2024, for the 3.2 million lowest-income households, energy expenses alone will represent 8% of their income. Energy renovation work can reduce thermal strainer bills. Improving and making the MaPrimeRénov system more attractive is therefore a social but also ecological necessity. Indeed, the renovation of old buildings makes it possible to reduce greenhouse gas emissions while to meet decarbonization objectives, 317,000 thermal renovations of housing would be necessary for the year 2025 alone, according to the General Secretariat for Ecological Planning (SGPE). Aveyron is the 19th French department which has the most G-rated housing. One in five housing units is therefore considered a thermal sieve. In total, nearly 40% of housing is classified E, F or G. In rural areas, the buildings are generally larger and older even though the population is often modest and especially older, which considerably limits the possibilities for long-term investments, to change a boiler or insulate a roof. Rather than a suspension, the MaPrimeRénov system deserves an improvement to make it more attractive but also more adapted to old rural buildings, for which, for example, exterior insulation is rarely the most relevant. Finally, it is clear that the means to combat fraud have been largely insufficient over the last four years, allowing organized sectors to misappropriate funds. public. Responding to fraud by suspending the system is as implausible as canceling trains to fight against fraud in public transport. In this context, the backlog of files, processing delays, accumulated payment delays, and difficulties in contacting a contact person appear as symptoms of the lack of seriousness and resources allocated by the Government to this system. So, he would like to be communicated to it, for the national level and Aveyron, the number of files awaiting processing, the number of files awaiting payment as well as the total amount of aid awaiting payment to businesses and owners. In addition, he would like to know the exact amount of fraud for the year 2024 as well as the number of files concerned. Finally, he would like to know the intentions of Government on the date of reinstatement of this system and on its essential improvement for businesses, ecological bifurcation and the living conditions of fellow citizens.

Mr. Laurent Alexandre questions the Minister to the Minister of Labor, Health, Solidarity and Families, responsible for health and access to care, on the responses to be given to taxi drivers mobilized in reaction to the 2025-2029 framework agreement. The profession is mobilizing because it considers itself threatened by this new agreement ordered by the National Health Insurance Fund. Taxis and patients from the territories rural areas would be particularly affected by the implementation of shared journeys. These new provisions are not adapted to territories increasingly distant from major health centers. Indeed, the organization of the concentration of medical supply in health centers and the intensification of medical desertification mechanically lead to an increase in medical transport and the costs incurred. In territories where the habitat is often fragmented, where the distances to be covered are counted in tens of kilometers and where the car is necessary to get to a health establishment, individual transport is necessary and already long. Imposing “shared” journeys on approved taxis means further extending the travel time for patients whose state of health is fragile and who need rest. This directly impacts the quality of health service and also amounts to a questioning of the privacy of the patients in care. It is also a crucial role of the profession because drivers often become attentive ears, a support to those who are struck by the disease. This new agreement also provides for a reduction in pricing covered by health insurance which threatens the economic viability of many taxi companies. approved. These will suffer a scissors effect with on one side the increase in intermediary costs (fuel, insurance, etc.) and on the other the reduction in agreed rates even though 85% of taxis provide approved transportation of sick people. Nearly half of companies are at risk of economic layoffs. For some, this reform amounts to a 40 to 50% drop in their turnover. THE The professionals hardest hit will be those working in the countryside since the approved transport of sick people represents between 75 and 80% of their activity. In addition, the threat of a possible introduction of VTCs into approved transport looms over the taxi model, by establishing a private competitive logic within a system hitherto based on solidarity. This would amount to calling into question one of the pillars of the French health system, united by essence, whose safeguards must imperatively be preserved. Thus, on the one hand, he seeks to know whether the Minister plans to act to preserve the relationship between approved taxis and the CNAM and to formally prohibit the introduction of VTCs into this agreement. On the other hand, he asks him if he intends to respond positively to the professionals mobilized by withdrawing this new agreement and by opening new negotiations in order to guarantee quality and economically viable approved transport.

Mr. Laurent Alexandre draws the attention of the Minister to the Minister of Regional Planning and Decentralization, responsible for transport, on the subject of eligibility for assistance in financing driving licenses for students of vocational high schools and apprentices under the age of 18. Since January 1, 2024, it is possible to obtain your driving license at 17 years old. This measure, taken by decree and 2023, was accompanied by the promise made on June 20, 2023 to extend aid of 500 euros to finance driving licenses for professional high school students. This aid of 500 euros already exists for apprentices aged over 18. This decree aims to promote the mobility of young people, their autonomy and their access to studies and employment, particularly in rural areas. It is therefore necessary that its application and eligibility for permit aid be built from the as inclusive way as possible. Today, although announced, this aid has still not been put in place for professional high school students aged 18. These young people are still waiting for the system to be put in place. Furthermore, it is essential that the lowering of the legal age for taking the driving license test to 17 is accompanied by an expansion of assistance systems existing. This is why the MP considers that this aid of 500 euros to finance the driving license should be accessible, from the age of 17, to all young people in professional training, whether they are apprentices or professional high school students. Thus, he wishes to know his intentions and his commitments in terms of extending the aid of 500 euros for the passage of the driving license to young people in professional training and to professional high school students aged 18.

Mr. Laurent Alexandre alerts Mr. Minister of Regional Planning and Decentralization François Rebsamen on the reduction in credits allocated to digital advisors in France Services houses planned in the PLF 2025. However, around 20% of the country's population encounters difficulties with digital tools. This intergenerational phenomenon is not limited only to the elderly. At a time when the dematerialization of services public is accelerating, supporting people in difficulty with digital technology is more than necessary, so as not to leave anyone behind. However, the reduction in these credits threatens the sustainability of these positions and goes against the needs of the populations. To this end, he reminds him of the recommendations of Ms. the Defender of Rights who alerted in an activity report of April 2023 on “the forced march dematerialization” of public services. The 30% reduction in credits allocated to digital inclusion, which goes from 67 million to 47 million euros in the 2025 PLF, seems to ignore the real inequalities of access between users. It further weakens citizens unfamiliar with the use of digital technology and those living in rural areas, where public services are increasingly far away. The function of digital advisor is therefore essential in France Services houses, in the absence of more ambitious systems. More broadly, maintaining physical counters is the best way to satisfy requests, particularly the most complex. In 2024, 82% of them were registered on the first visit, thanks to human contact. This measure also harms local authorities which finance on average 60% of a digital advisor position. They find each other faced with an impossible choice: accept the disappearance of positions or compensate for the disengagement of the State, despite increasingly constrained budgets. There is a great risk of seeing the digital divide strengthen, particularly in territories where it is already evident. Thus, he wishes to know his intentions and commitments in terms of access to public services and digital inclusion. He asks him if he can guarantee the sustainability of all digital advisor positions in France Services houses so as not to further worsen access to public services for all users or increase the burden on communities.

Mr. Laurent Alexandre draws the attention of the Minister to the Minister of Labor, Health, Solidarity and Families, responsible for health and access to care, to the future of the National Autonomous Fund for Social Security in Mines (CANSSM)-Filieris due to the absence, to date, of contractualization between the mining regime and the State. Created in 1946 to ensure the management of the special social security regime in mines, CANSSM manages a vast network of health professionals, accessible to all, employing 4,600 employees in 70 different professions, committed to developing local health mainly in former mining territories, particularly affected by medical desertification and difficulties in accessing care. In Occitanie, there are 730 employees distributed between 14 health centers, care services nurses and home help, 1 EHPAD and 2 medical and rehabilitation establishments. Filieris is therefore a key player in the public health service which mobilizes a wide variety of stakeholders to ensure effective access to local care in local areas. Over the years, CANSSM-Filieris has undergone numerous reconfigurations of its healthcare offering. The latest objectives and management agreement (COG) between the State and the CANSSM, set itself the precise goal of initiating “a process of evolution of the organization of Filieris and of completing its development no later than the date of its expiration”. This COG was completed at the end of 2024. Today, CANSSM-Filieris, its collaborators and its patients are however kept in serious uncertainty due to the lack of commitment from the Ministry of Health on a 2025-2028 COG. This one is nevertheless necessary to guarantee Filieris the budgetary means of operation and multi-year investments allowing it to guarantee the sustainability, the development of its missions, the essential recruitment of health personnel and professionals in response to the needs of the populations. The CANSSM-Filieris union federations are proactive and proactive in order to achieve a public service mission as part of a cooperation agreement between the CNAM and the CANSSM aimed at consolidating its healthcare offering, particularly in terms of prevention, home care for the elderly and care for chronically ill people. To date, nothing seems committed and CANSSM-Filieris sees its development hampered by this lack of visibility while the recruitment of health professionals is expected by the population of the living areas. concerned. Consequently, he asks the Government's intentions on the future of mining social security, in particular concerning the development of the COG 2025-2028 between the State and the CANSSM.

Mr. Laurent Alexandre questions the Minister of the Economy, Finance and Industrial and Digital Sovereignty on the project to reorganize La Poste services in several municipalities in West Aveyron. While the La Poste group is 100% owned by public capital, this reorganization intends to be carried out without even consulting the elected officials of the municipalities concerned, which seems improbable. The Post Office ensures indeed an essential public service in this rural area, by distributing mail, the press, parcels, and even the newspaper on a daily basis. It constitutes an essential social link for many residents and must work in concert with local elected officials. The MP reminds the Minister that he sent him a copy of a letter alerting him to the situation, co-signed by 21 mayors of municipalities affected by this project, which shares with the Chairman and CEO of La Poste, Mr. Philippe Wahl, their legitimate concerns about this reorganization which seems unacceptable to them as it stands. They warn in particular of the transition to the postman-countier system in the offices of the municipalities of Aubin, Firmi, Saint-Cyprien and Villeneuve, where postmen would be called upon to run the post office in the morning and make rounds in the afternoon. However, this proposal reflects a manifest ignorance of the needs of the territory, residents and businesses. Indeed, late distribution would degrade the quality of service for residents, particularly for the elderly. Furthermore, such a reorganization, which would involve the closure of Post offices in the afternoon, would force people who are not available in the morning to go to offices further away in the afternoon, reinforcing already existing territorial inequalities. Another subject of great concern is that of the impact of this reorganization on employment and on the increase in the scope of tours. In fact, rounds are regularly canceled and this reorganization intends to eliminate more, on the pretext that the number of letters would greatly decrease, a figure to be qualified in view of the sharp increase in the number of parcels as well as the number of mailboxes to be served, constantly increasing. As a result of these route cuts, the distances that postmen must travel continue to increase, especially as there are fewer and fewer of them delivering mail. For example, the Aubin office alone has lost 22 jobs since 2008. This reorganization project thus jeopardizes the smooth delivery of mail provided by La Poste, which represents still a basic public service in a rural area with fragmented housing and very little community, hence the concern expressed by many stakeholders in the area, elected officials, professionals and citizens. Thus, the MP reaffirms his wish expressed with 21 mayors of West Aveyron that this reorganization be postponed so that the management of La Poste undertakes a real negotiation with elected officials and staff representatives of the territory concerned in order to produce a new project for the reorganization of services, if necessary, in accordance with the needs of this territory, professionals and users.

Mr. Laurent Alexandre draws the attention of the Minister Delegate to the Minister of Labor, Health and Solidarity, responsible for health and prevention, to the future of the Asalée system (liberal team health action), created in 2004 and present today in all departments. In a rural area like Aveyron, subject to significant difficulties in accessing health care, this system of active cooperation between doctors general practitioners and nurses is an interesting lever to facilitate the care of patients, particularly those suffering from chronic pathologies. It is based on cooperation facilitated by the presence in the same premises (or nearby premises financed by the association) of doctors and nurses, which makes it possible to treat patients with chronic pathologies in a coordinated manner (education therapeutic, nutritional, smoking cessation, overweight in children and adolescents, screening for COPD, screening for cognitive disorders, etc.). These are time-consuming treatments that Asalée nurses provide with feedback to the attending physician, thus freeing up medical time. To date, there are 9,155 partner doctors and 2,080 salaried nurses (including 1,000 and 244 respectively distributed across 321 sites in Occitania) which make up a system with triple advantages: freeing up doctors' time, facilitating the patient's care journey in time and quality and allowing them to acquire and mobilize self-care skills thanks to the contributions of therapeutic patient education (TPE). Asalée is based on a financing agreement with the National Health Insurance Fund (CNAM). This allows in particular the taking into account charge of rent for premises inherent to the activity of Asalée professionals. However, professionals in the sector are concerned that the new agreement which came into force on January 1, 2024 has removed this earmarking of financing for rents. In addition, it does not seem to take into account the evolution of the number of installations, which would have an impact on the payment of salaries. The deputy recognizes the importance of the investment made by the CNAM and understands its concern to ensure compliance by the association with the proper use of the subsidies paid and the rules applying to any organization financed by public funds. However, he also wishes to recall the importance of conclusive discussions for a new agreement shared with the professionals concerned. Retraining as a nurse Asalée is often a professional project built over a long time and a strong personal investment that must be considered at its fair value. Thus, the MP wishes to know the objective motivations of the CNAM behind the new provisions of the agreement which binds it to Asalée. He would also like to know what measures are being considered to respond quickly to the legitimate concerns of professionals and health professionals involved and involved and to grant the Asalée association the means for its development.

Mr. Laurent Alexandre questions the Minister of National Education and Youth about the risk of closure of the La Jordanne college in Aurillac (Cantal). On December 18, 2023, a decision by the Cantal departmental council approved the gradual closure of this college, over the period 2025-2028. The reasons given are in particular the expected demographic drop in Aurillac, 1,457 middle school students anticipated in 2029 for 1,600 places available and the security risks induced by the “Pailleron” type architecture of this establishment. However, to the MP's knowledge, no serious study has been carried out to consider alternatives to the pure and simple closure of the establishment, including the construction of a new public college that complies with current building standards. Yet the need exists. Indeed, for the next school year, the workforce forecasts at La Jordanne college are 28.3 students per division, the second highest rate in the department. Furthermore, the drop in the school population is not enough to motivate such a decision to the extent that retaining 4 middle schools with small numbers in Aurillac is a guarantee of success, as shown in the note “A question of size”, published by the Directorate of Evaluation, Foresight and Performance (DEPP) in 2012. It is not nor guaranteed that the distribution of these students to neighboring colleges in the years to come will be followed by the opening of new divisions. The risk of overcrowded classes for young people from Aurillac is therefore real. Worse, consultation with the stakeholders concerned, staff, local elected officials or parents of students seems to have been very weak. The low visibility until the announcement of the first support measures for personnel by the rectorate has generated significant stress for staff and consequently an increase in the number of sick leaves. Not to mention that the closure, an almost unprecedented fact, of such a large college makes efficient support materially impossible. To date, no concrete guarantee is given to teachers in particular to limit professional mobility in the event of college closure. Finally, sections specific such as the rugby sports section (at the heart of the local sports ecosystem due to its partnership with the Stade Aurillacois) or the security cadets (who work with the Aurillac firefighters) are set to disappear, like certain options in other colleges in the urban area. Thus, the MP wishes, on the one hand, to know the status of investigation of this decision by the State services. Of the Further studies should be undertaken before making a decision. On the other hand, he wishes that concrete and firm measures be brought to his attention to guarantee that the working conditions of staff and the teaching conditions of students will not be degraded and that no job cuts will be made.

Mr. Laurent Alexandre draws the attention of the Minister Delegate to the Minister for Ecological Transition and Territorial Cohesion, responsible for transport, to a subject which had already been the subject of an alert in June 2023: the quality of service on the Paris-Rodez night train line. For a resident of Aveyron, it is, in normal operation, the most economical and ecological way to reach Paris, without loss of time by compared to the individual car. However, for many months, cancellations and incidents on this line have been legion: around fifty since the summer while no train has run between the end of November and December 11, 2023. In addition, users, families and workers, are very often presented with a fait accompli and forced to give up trips sometimes planned for a long time, to the extent that the opening of booking trains is not accompanied by any anticipation in the face of recurring incidents. Finally, the timetables in the Paris-Rodez direction do not currently correspond to a night line, the train leaving Paris-Austerlitz at 6:51 p.m. on weekdays and 7:27 p.m. on weekends (for an arrival in Rodez more than 12 hours later for a journey which should only last around 8 hours). This too premature departure time actually excludes a part of potential users who work in Paris. At the same time, other night train lines, such as the Paris-Aurillac on December 10, 2023, are inaugurated with great fanfare. Furthermore, it appears that the majority of incidents noted are less correlated with the presence of network improvement works nearby than with the chronic lack of investment in rolling stock and its maintenance (breakdowns, delays in maintenance periods due to staffing pressures and the distance from technical centers, etc.), the replacement of which is only announced at the end of the work in progress. The MP therefore also wishes to know the objective reasons which seem to prevent us from guaranteeing the provision of replacement equipment in the event of a breakdown. In the response to his previous questioning on the subject, he was assured that the State, SNCF Voyageurs and SNCF Réseau did everything they could to find solutions, but without specifying either their nature or the timetable for their application. Six months later, the situation is unchanged, if not degraded, and no clear perspective is given to Aveyron residents either on the restoration of a quality service, or on the opening of a diversion route in the short term. Thus, he therefore wishes that be brought to his knowledge of the progress of discussions with stakeholders and that tangible and planned commitments are reaffirmed regarding the effective and efficient circulation of night trains in the Occitanie region, particularly for the Paris-Rodez line.

Mr. Laurent Alexandre draws the attention of the Minister of Health and Prevention to the recent statement by the director of the regional health agency (ARS) Occitanie concerning the potability of water, in particular due to its high concentration of PFAS compounds, eternal pollutants, dangerous for human health. For many years, associations have been warning about the concentration of PFAS in French surface water. In 2022, the consortium of journalists and scientists Forever Pollution Project published a survey which listed the main places of contamination across Europe. More than 17,000 sites exceed the regulatory threshold of 10 ng/L and 2,100 present an acute danger, exceeding the health threshold of 100 ng/L. In Aveyron, in Sainte-Eulalie-de-Cernon, a concentration of 810 ng/L was even measured at the water source. It's 8 times more than the health threshold. Consequence: in 2020, the Esteban national biomonitoring program detected traces in the blood of 100% of French people, children included. Because although understudied, these eternal pollutants are very toxic. Endocrine disruptors, these perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl compounds are correlated in several studies with thyroid, testicular, breast and kidney cancers. They have an impact on birth rates and cause numerous cardiovascular diseases. Their dangerousness has been recognized since 2001 thanks to the Stockholm Convention which aimed to reduce the use of the most toxic PFAS, such as perfluorooctanesulfonic acid. These compounds used in the chemical and food industry, particularly for waterproofing use, are also massively present in the fire-fighting foam (AFFF) used in public places. In January 2023, a ministerial action plan to combat PFAS was presented: the dangerousness is recognized, since the State shows its concern to ban them. But no emergency measures on this contamination have been announced. The responsibility delegated to the ARS to “complete the health control that they implement” has nevertheless borne fruit. The director of ARS Occitanie, by extending the scope of measures, confirmed by internal letter what the associations have been denouncing for years: “there are PFAS and metabolites everywhere. The more we look, the more we will find.” “No longer doing” checks cannot be the ideal solution. And above all “stop drinking tap water”. Therefore, two conclusions are imperative. First, engage the precautionary principle by mobilizing public power for drastic reduction of risks, particularly on drinking water wrongly classified as potable. Second, make data effective and transparent at the national level at the finest possible scale. In its April 2023 report, the General Inspectorate of the Environment and Sustainable Development recommends working to initiate a ban on the use and production of PFAS, for more transparency, for bases of centralized data as well as for a national inventory of PFAS concentrations in the environment. Above all, she calls for a formalized roadmap on PFAS with national management. Considering these recommendations, considering the alarming communication from ARS Occitanie, considering the postponement of the revision of the European “REACH” regulation for 2025 at the earliest, what emergency measures is the Minister considering in order to reduce the concentrations of PFAS in French waters as well as in materials in contact with food? Does the minister plan to establish a maximum residual limit on PFAS in France? Is the Government planning to set up national analyzes whose results would be public? What alternative to tap water is the State committed to putting in place to guarantee a supply not toxic to the populations of Occitanie? Is blocking the prices of bottled water, permitted by the commercial code, among the solutions considered? The health of fellow citizens is at stake and the worrying opacity shown by public authorities regarding PFAS contamination can only cause concern. He wants to know his position on the matter.

Mr. Laurent Alexandre draws the attention of the Minister of Ecological Transition and Territorial Cohesion to a question that he has already submitted for examination by the Minister of Energy Transition in a letter sent in October 2022. This concerns the complex situation surrounding the exploitation of water from the Salles-la-Source waterfall site by the Société Hydroelectric de la Vallée de Salles-la-Source (SHVSS). THE Relations between this company and the citizens of the town have been tumultuous since the beginning of its installation, almost 90 years ago. The renewal of the concession granted to this company at the beginning of the 2010s gave rise to numerous oppositions and an association which was formed to contest this exploitation of the site, “Ranisons la Cascade!” ”, helped to bring to light numerous anomalies. The State intervened in highest place in this file, with the arrival of an inspection mission coordinated by the Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of the Environment in 2015 to support the state services of Aveyron in processing this file. This mission concluded in its report that it was an “administrative fiasco from the beginning”, thus raising several irregularities. She let the commune decide ultimately on the fate of the hydroelectric installation, which voted during the June 2016 municipal council to close. Following the orders refusing authorization and definitive closure promulgated by the Aveyron prefecture, the company appealed and a long legal procedure followed which has still not been closed to this day. If justice must obviously take its course, the MP thinks that clarification from the Ministry of the Environment would be useful to resolve the situation and contribute to the resolution of this matter. First of all, the MP shares the questions of many stakeholders in the case on the reasons which pushed the State to withdraw from the consecutive legal proceedings even though it was a party in the first instance. He wishes to know the reasons for this withdrawal which leaves the association “Ranimons la Cascade!” » pursue appeals alone judicial with limited resources, despite the commitment of State services in this matter and the conclusions of the ministerial inspection mission. Secondly, one of the key elements of the dispute concerns the question of the company's legal rights which, according to the judges, justify the continued operation of the site. However, according to information provided by the association, a second dam would have been built without administrative authorization and would now be the only one to be active, which raises questions about the legitimacy of the latter to operate and could provide other avenues for judges in the examination of this case. It would be desirable for state services to investigate this point to provide a clear answer. Finally, the MP brought to the attention of the minister, in October 2022, the existence of investments in the site in all likelihood not carried out by the operator despite the purchase obligation contract which binds it to EDF and gives it the right to sale at preferential electricity rates. According to the information available to the MP, the prefect of Aveyron took up this subject and requested clarification from the current manager of the SHVSS. This commitment from the prefecture seems to be going in the right direction, according to the MP. It is why he wishes to know if, in the continuity of the efforts made by the State services in Aveyron, he will, as well as any competent authority, give itself the means to shed light on this issue in order to contribute to its resolution.

Mr. Laurent Alexandre questions the Minister Delegate to the Minister for Ecological Transition and Territorial Cohesion, responsible for transport, on the SNCF Réseau study aimed at allowing the circulation of night trains. As part of the mobility orientation law (LOM), the State was asked to study “the development of new TET lines, ensuring their articulation with the regeneration and modernization of the rail network and by specifying, in particular, the conditions for improving the provision of night trains” (TET report). Today, the MP is asking him to specify the concrete modalities for developing the night train sections as part of the increase in modernization work (AFNT, AFSB and POLT axis). Since 2020, many users and groups have warned about the deterioration of circulation of the Paris-Rodez night train due to work on the Paris-Orléans-Limoges-Toulouse line. The night train arrives at the Paris platform, but 2 hours 30 minutes late. Night trains are necessary, the increase in the cities served announced by the committee of May 24, 2023 is essential but good operation of the lines is essential. Minister of ecological transition, Ms. Élisabeth Borne confirmed that the train night “can constitute [...] a very interesting alternative to the plane”. Prime Minister, Mrs. Borne wishes to “relaunch” night trains, following the recommendations of the latest report from the Infrastructure Orientation Committee (COI). The objectives of Law No. 2019-1428 of December 24, 2019 are included: easier, less expensive and cleaner transport. Faced with the ecological, climatic, ecological, social and industrial, the MP can only subscribe to these objectives, which must be achieved. According to figures from the Minister's magisterium, the use of sleeper beds increased by 41% between 2019 and 2022. These trains are full but they still need to be able to run. Over the coming decades, the numerous renovation works on the lines risk disrupting the future of Occitan and Pyrenees night trains. Mr. member therefore wonders if it is not urgent to rethink and support other routes. Indeed, this work, although necessary, could harm the rebirth of the night train. In the 2000s, they were already impacting the circuits and supporting the decline of night trains. This decline is also partly linked to aging materials and a disengaged state. Today, the project to “relaunch” night trains cannot be realized and be sustainable only if it highlights the strengths and no longer the weaknesses of public intervention in the railway sector. Also, the State announced 100 billion euros for rail. Announcements must lead to actions, especially solutions. The MP would therefore like to know the position of the Minister on the subject of the effective and sustainable circulation of Occitan and Pyrenean night trains in the face of accumulation of work. SNCF Réseau and the decision-making authorities should be encouraged to listen to all stakeholders, as recommended by the law for a new railway pact and as implemented by the Rail Services Monitoring Committee, in order to shed light on possible solutions. With this in mind, the General Directorate of Infrastructure, Transport and Mobility (DGITM) announced that it had ordered a study at SNCF Réseau to find solutions for the circulation of night trains. Thus, he wonders if this study will be made public to inform the thinking of all stakeholders and if so, when.

Mr. Laurent Alexandre alerts the Minister of Health and Prevention of numerous very worrying echoes from health professionals and stakeholders of the last territorial health council on the situation of healthcare provision in the department of Aveyron and its short-term prospects, particularly in his constituency of west Aveyron which includes two hospitals, in Villefranche-de-Rouergue and Decazeville. Already, Services are under high tension and usually operate with significant recourse to temporary workers. This is particularly the case for resuscitation and emergencies in Villefranche-de-Rouergue and Decazeville and maternity in Villefranche-de-Rouergue. The maternity situation is all the more worrying as the City report recommends the closure of maternity wards with fewer than 1,000 deliveries. This is the case of that of Villefranche with its 500 annual births. This above-ground accounting logic endangers the territories but also women in rural areas who would then have to travel too many kilometers on the roads to give birth, with all the risks and anxieties that this entails. In the same way, the Decazeville CH is struggling to recover from the serious fire which took place in May 2022 and despite the admirable efforts of the nursing staff, its medical analysis laboratory is threatened with limited operation due to the impossibility of compensating for the retirement of its biologist this summer. More generally, in Aveyron, with the implementation of article 33 of the Rist law in April 2023, a strong risk of a disruption in the provision of care in the territory would be envisaged. Worse, many staff are even worried about a possible closure of emergency services at night. The deputy does not dare to think that such a short-term outcome would be envisaged without parliamentarians being informed of it. He does not dare to think that such an outcome would be envisaged when several thousand people would then find themselves more than an hour's drive from an emergency service, in breach of the principles of equal treatment of citizens which founded the Republic and social security. He does not dare to think that such an outcome would be envisaged when his constituency has several risky industrial activities classified as Seveso. The MP does not question the desire to rebalance remuneration between temporary health professionals and those stationed at the hospital. He also does not deny the difficulties of recruiting medical personnel in Aveyron. However, he is very concerned, after many exchanges with various professionals, through the capacity of its territory to provide citizens with continuity in the provision of care in this specific context. Clearly, if an application of the Rist law on April 1, 2023 were to result in the closure of health services due to the absence of practitioners, it is the responsibility of the Minister to activate the necessary political levers in time so that urgent responses are provided. Different tools exist such as improving the attractiveness, working conditions and remuneration of hospital careers, the necessary regulation of the installation of doctors, the possible on-call duty of doctors for nights and weekends, even the requisitions of staff and in particular temporary workers. The MP asks the Minister for clarification on the situation from the department of Aveyron. Are emergency services likely to be effectively closed at night? If yes, in which establishments in the department and for how long? Are other services at risk? What measures does it intend to implement to ensure the continuity of healthcare provision in Aveyron? He wants to know the answers to these questions.

Mr. Laurent Alexandre wishes to call on Mr. the Minister Delegate to the Minister for Ecological Transition and Territorial Cohesion, responsible for transport on the removal of the Cahors-Capdenac train line for the benefit of a greenway project. It no longer needs to be proven that the train is a virtuous means of transport because it is low-carbon and efficient in many aspects. It also actively participates in opening up rural areas. In In this case, the Cahors-Capdenac railway line, currently decommissioned, could be functional again after development work estimated between 30 and 90 million euros (high range in the event of significant modernization of the line) by the Transversales report published in 2012, compared to around 30 million euros for the greenway project. In addition, still according to the same report which compares the greenway and exploitation scenarios railway, the latter brings many advantages. On the one hand, the relaunch of the Cahors-Capdenac railway line would make it possible to more effectively connect the Lot territory and constitute a useful diversion and reinforcement route for important routes (POLT or Rodez-Brive for example). The flat profile of this line also seems ideal for freight, especially since it is connected to the national network and regional at both ends. The potential is especially significant for local freight, with several companies located on either side of the line currently using road transport in the absence of a rail alternative. This is the case, for example, of the company MATIERE, located in Bagnac-sur-Célé. Such a choice could divert up to 650,000 tonnes of goods per year from the roads, or 23,500 fewer truck passages. per year. The travel time is equivalent between the car and the train and faster by train than by bus (1h15 between the city center of Capdenac and Cahors by train compared to 2 hours by bus). As part of a proactive ecological transition policy, this line would ensure 2,000 daily journeys, replacing thousands of daily car journeys and tens of thousands of annual truck journeys. The gain in greenhouse gas emissions and road safety can be considerable. As for the future of the greenway project, other routes seem possible, in a department like Lot with more than 1,300 kilometers of cycle routes and magnificent landscapes to highlight, especially since the presence of infrastructures specific to the train line such as around fifty level crossings, rock trenches, thirteen tunnels or even numerous bridges and viaducts along the 71 kilometer route can pose significant safety problems and redevelopment constraints. There is therefore no question of competing with the train with the bicycle, these two means of transport have their place in the necessary transition that we must make. However, the problem of removing iron from the Cahors-Capdenac track would make everything return to the train impossible on this route, condemning many inhabitants between these two cities to the sole use of the car. This analysis is widely shared by local political leaders, as evidenced by a letter from Mr. Jean-Luc Gibelin, 5th vice-president of the Occitanie region in charge of transport where, when questioned on this subject, he announced in 2017: “I take advantage of this response to reaffirm the position of the regional council concerning the Cahors-Capdenac line. Do not unshoe the line so as not to compromise the future.” It would be fashionable to review the issue between all local stakeholders, elected officials, users, associations and to organize a moratorium on the issue to democratically and seriously consider the issue before embarking on an irreversible option such as removing the iron from the line. Thus, the MP would like to know the position of Mr. the Minister and the Government on the subject of removing iron from the Capdenac-Cahors line and rail transport in general and whether it is necessary to remove old lines and compromise train travel in our rural areas or encourage collective and low-carbon transport by investing massively in structuring local lines for the territories.

Mr. Laurent Alexandre wishes to alert the Minister of National Education and Youth to the worrying situation of Traveler children at the age of entering secondary school due to the new conditions relating to home schooling applying for the 2022-2023 school year. In fact, the Accès Logement Insertion association, which closely follows this public in Decazeville, informed it of the reluctance of parents to send their children in college. Until now, after normal and rather diligent schooling in primary school, these children continued their journey via the CNED. This association also had an agreement with a college in the same municipality as well as with parents to allow their children registered on the CNED to follow non-discriminatory courses for their academic level with other young people of their age registered at the college. This device was without doubt could be improved, but had the merit of allowing these children to mix with others and to consolidate their bases acquired in primary school.

Mr. Laurent Alexandre draws the attention of the Minister of the Economy, Finance and Industrial and Digital Sovereignty to the serious inadequacies of what his ministry nevertheless presents as a “comprehensive system to support businesses in the face of increases in electricity and gas prices”. Millions of small traders, craftsmen, farmers and entrepreneurs see their activity threatened by the sudden increase in prices energy despite government aid. The MP met the artisan butchers and charcutiers who demonstrated on November 29, 2022 near the National Assembly. Many artisanal butchers cannot claim the tariff shield due to a subscribed power greater than 36kVA. The situation of many bakers is just as alarming for equivalent reasons. Their bills are exploding and reaching unsustainable levels. Many traders and artisans risk going out of business. For example, a study shows that 20% of bakers could close their businesses in 2023. Aveyron farmers also alerted the MP with very concrete and equally worrying examples. One, with a subscribed power of 90kVA and a renewable electricity contract every year, sees its bill forecast to increase from 10,387 euros in 2022 to 70,989 euros in 2023 with the new prices proposed by EDF. After a comparative study as proposed to him by his energy supplier, this farmer can at best claim a bill in 2023 of 50,826.65 euros, or five times the cost he will pay for this year 2022. These cases illustrate according to the deputy the numerous shortcomings of the government system, despite recent strengthening announcements. With the addition of the electricity rate buffer and the bill payment assistance window for 2023, many businesses and businesses will remain in danger. In the most optimistic projections, faced with a bill that will multiply by 4, 5, 6 or even more, the impact of government aid will be far too moderate to compensate for bills much higher than those of last year. So many of these small traders, already greatly weakened by the covid crisis, risk seeing their activity cease permanently. A whole section of village, town, small and medium-sized town life disappears with the closure of a business. The MP insists on the indispensable nature of small businesses, particularly butchers and bakers, for the economic and social life of rural areas. Their closure means Often for residents the constraint of using the private car for more than 10 kilometers and sometimes much more, to find an alternative food service. As for farmers, they are essential links in food independence and feed the country, should we still remember this? In addition, these local businesses and small producers are subject to competition from large groups and other European countries. Of Many EU countries have already taken and continue to take clear measures to curb energy prices. Spain and Portugal, by regulating gas prices for 2023, are causing electricity prices to fall by up to 130 euros/MWh, for rates above 500 euros/MWh in France. Likewise, Germany caps gas and electricity prices at home, while continuing to oppose a European blockade gas prices. It also taxes superprofits, like the Netherlands, these two countries allocating part of this exceptional contribution to their energy price control systems. Thus, other avenues than costly and ineffective government measures exist and are applied by other European countries. Moreover, proposals such as the taxation of superprofits or the blocking of product prices basic necessities were debated in the hemicycle but swept away 49-3. The MP believes that it is urgent to protect the country's economy. On the one hand by urgently applying the tariff shield to small businesses. On the other hand, by then reestablishing regulated prices to escape from the sole logic of the deregulated market which is leading the country into the current impasse. The market and competition in the sector of energy are indeed inefficient and dangerous in times of crisis, we currently have a tragic illustration of this. However, in France we have the operational and technical means to initiate a major bifurcation of the organization of the energy sector. The average production cost of a megawatt hour in France is less than 100 euros, when market prices exceeded 1,000 euros in the summer of 2022. By planning and operating the French production, we can develop a simple, readable and fair price list for both producers and consumers, based on production costs. Price stability would then be guaranteed and beneficial for both consumers and producers. Such a reform would not disrupt the current organization of cross-border trade or the pooling of means of production on a European scale. It would certainly require a derogation from European rules, in particular the principle of liberalization of the electricity market, in a context where the countries of the European Union are already increasing the number of derogations in the face of serious market dysfunctions. We can also serve as an example for the whole of Europe, at a time when a structural reform of the European electricity market will be debated in the first quarter of 2023. Promotion of a centralized European public operator would benefit all the countries of the European Union and bring them into a cycle of cooperation rather than competition. A rebuilt public electricity service can provide a clear response to market dysfunctions and address the economic, ecological and social challenges that we will have to face in the very near future. So, he asks him when he plans to stop persist with its economic dogmatism to finally take protective and effective measures to preserve local commerce, small and medium-sized businesses as well as the country's artisans.

France · National Assembly · 11 October 2022
Mr. Laurent Alexandre questions the Minister of Energy Transition on the relevance of the mechanical-biological sorting process for residual household waste in light of the example of the project carried out by the company Solena Valorisation in Aveyron. This project for a factory called a “multi-sector hub for the recovery and treatment of non-hazardous waste” is accompanied by a waste storage center in the municipalities of Viviez and Aubin. Behind this promising title, the MP noted several incompatibilities with various laws passed between 2015 and 2020. He is therefore very surprised by the environmental authorization issued to project leaders on August 21, 2020 by the Aveyron prefecture despite the standards in force. Indeed, its flagship technical process is the use of a mechanical-biological sorting installation to direct the different flows of waste received to the plant's recovery equipment. This type of technology is subject to strict and clear control laid down in article L. 541-1 of the environmental code. Thus, “the authorization of new mechanical-biological sorting installations is conditional on compliance, by local authorities and public intermunicipal cooperation establishments, with the generalization of sorting at the source of bio-waste. These installations are not subject to aid from public entities.” These conditions were introduced by the 2015 law relating to energy transition for green growth. Neither the law of February 10, 2020 relating to the fight against waste and the circular economy, nor the order of July 29, 2020 relating to the prevention and management of waste have called them into question. Ms. Barbara Pompili, then president of the sustainable development committee of the National Assembly, declared during the session of Friday November 29, 2019 about this sector that “technical damage is frequent and the organic substances resulting from this waste are of very poor quality for spreading. In addition, the technique is very expensive and the installations must operate at full capacity to be profitable. This therefore automatically slows down the in place of the separate management of organic waste, a nevertheless virtuous sector which makes it possible to produce compost, including for organic farming”. The MP could not agree more with his fellow MP. He adds that the Constitutional Council, in its decision of April 22, 2022 as part of a QPC, reinforced the spirit of article L. 541-1 of the environmental code. He even considers, in paragraph 12 of his decision, that “the legislator intended, to implement the objectives of reduction and recovery of household waste, to favor sorting at the source of bio-waste rather than their handling by mechanical-biological treatment installations whose performance in terms of recovery was considered insufficient”. Therefore, by subjecting the new mechanical-biological sorting installations to the conditions posed by the aforementioned article, the Constitutional Council indicates that the legislator pursues the constitutional value objective of environmental protection. However, the Solena project was the subject of a subsidy of 9.1 million euros from ADEME. In addition, SYDOM 12, the departmental waste treatment union in Aveyron, only came out in favor of a two-stream collection of bio-waste and residual household waste on the 21st. March 2021. Currently, SYDOM is testing this system in a few municipalities (report from the SYDOM 12 union committee of June 17, 2021). The Solena project thus did not meet either of the two conditions set by article L. 541-1 of the environmental code when it benefited from the environmental authorization issued by the prefecture of Aveyron, hence the great surprise of Mr. MP at this administrative authorization. On the other hand, the same article of the environmental code provides that from January 1, 2027, it will be “prohibited to use the fermentable fraction of waste from these (mechano-biological sorting) installations in the manufacture of compost.” However, this is the ambition carried by the installation planned in Aveyron. If the deputy is to believe the presidency of SYDOM 12 which expressed itself in La Dépêche of September 7, 2022, the implementation service of the Solena equipment is planned for the beginning of 2025. If these deadlines are met, two years later, in 2027, one of the recovery processes of this plant, the manufacture of compost from bio-waste sorted at source and oriented by mechanical-biological sorting will be contrary to the legislation and therefore obsolete... Also concerned with respecting the hierarchy of waste defined by Directive 2008/98/EC, Mr. wonders on the large ultimate waste storage capacities planned for the installation managed by Solena. The Aveyron prefecture has authorized the burial of 68,000 tonnes per year until 2024, then 53,500 tonnes per year from 2025. According to the public commission of inquiry which examined the Solena file, 90,000 tonnes per year of household waste should be processed on this site. So, in the worst case, there are potentially 60 % of waste received by these facilities which may end up buried at the end of the treatment process. Such a conjecture would place Aveyron far from the recovery objectives set by law (60% waste recovery in 2030, 65% in 2035). He is particularly concerned as the products of mechano-biological sorting facilities of poor quality are directly eliminated. In other words, if this sorting equipment mechanical-biological is failing, the quantity of waste buried in Aveyron risks exploding. Given the numerous criticisms made of this sorting process, as well as the legislative provisions which establish its obsolescence and its limits, the MP believes he has good reasons to be worried. This is why he questions him about the exact scope of the provisions of article L. 541-1 I paragraph 16, often contested by project leaders. mechanical-biological sorting facilities. He asks him if these are simple objectives set out by law, or an obligation which must be imposed on all environmental authorizations issued by the authorities.

In accordance with Council Implementing Decision No. 2022/382 of March 4, 2022, Ukrainians are displaced persons, within the meaning of Council Directive No. 2001/55/EC of July 20, 2001. This status gives them the right to stay on French territory for a period of three years, with the granting of residence permits renewable every six months. Thus, Ukrainians present in the territory can carry out “an employed or self-employed activity”, “participate in activities such as educational activities”, “professional training courses”, or even follow “internships” (Directive no. 2001/55/EC, Art. 12). Ukrainian children can and do attend schools (Art. 14). Mr. MP welcomes the effects of the displaced status, which can only be positive for the integration and reconstruction of populations who have suffered and continue to suffer from the war in their country of origin. In addition, it makes it possible to provide reactive responses to a serious and sudden crisis situation. And yet, all Ukrainians on French soil, who pay direct or indirect taxes and who for some of them work, do not even have the right to the most basic aid permitted by their social system which they nevertheless contribute to financing. No right to family allowances to help finance the return to school for Ukrainian families, nor an activity bonus for those who have a job paid at the minimum wage. The MP is, to say the least, very surprised by this situation. This is why he wonders if it would not be opportune, seven months after the outbreak of war in Ukraine, to reassess the situation. Directive No. 2001/55/EC states, in its introduction and article 3, that the temporary protection status granted to populations does not compete with the refugee status defined in the Geneva Convention of July 28, 1951. According to article 1 of this convention, a refugee is “any person who has a well-founded fear of being persecuted due to (...) of her nationality, of her belonging to a certain social group (...), is outside the country of which she is a national and who cannot or, because of this fear, does not want to claim the protection of that country.” The constant bombings by the Russian army, or the tragic discovery of the Izioum mass grave recently, leave no doubt as to the danger faced by Ukrainian civilians on their soil. Granting refugee status to Ukrainians present in France would allow them to obtain a ten-year residence permit, as well as rights equivalent to those of compatriots. Indeed, reports from the field on certain difficulties encountered by Ukrainians living in the constituency of the MP alerted him. Some of them adapted very well to life in France and got jobs. Their children are educated in schools, while others actively take French lessons. And yet, at the start of the school year, these families are not eligible for payment of family allowances. Ukrainians in the constituency who work cannot claim the activity bonus, even if they have a job paying less than 1,806 euros net per month. The department's family allowance fund was content to answer that the Government did not open the right to these benefits to Ukrainians this year. Similarly, some Ukrainians have the opportunity to sign a permanent contract, but they and their bosses are hesitant because they do not know if they have the legal right to do so. The prefecture contacted was not able to answer their question. The MP considers this situation of artistic vagueness unacceptable. Especially since more and more problems of this nature are likely to multiply in the country. Populations already damaged and welcomed on national territory in the name of international solidarity should at least be able to have visibility on their future and benefit from the French solidarity system. The honor of France, a country of human rights and its welcoming tradition is at stake. So he asks him if he intends to take concrete measures to improve the living conditions of Ukrainians on French soil, in particular by allowing them fair access to the social benefits that they help to finance, as they have a legitimate right to do.

Mr. Laurent Alexandre questions the Minister of Culture about the problem of broadcasting the channels of the TF1 group by satellites linked to the Canal + group. The MP received testimony from many residents of his constituency located in a rural area and shares their anger at this injustice. Many people in rural areas, mainly in white areas, have to rely on satellite facilities to receive TV channels. television. Indeed, this mode of television reception is essential for citizens with a weak internet connection. The MP deplores the fact that the digital divide persists in rural areas, even though the governments of the previous term had committed to reducing it. Furthermore, the MP refuses to allow citizens using satellite to find themselves held hostage by the quarrels of two major audiovisual groups. French, as is currently the case. Free television must be accessible to everyone, regardless of the broadcast method. However, more than two million French people find themselves deprived of part of this service and in fact bound hand and foot to the goodwill of the Canal + and TF1 groups. And all the more so since Canal + subscribers cannot even cancel their subscription for this reason, which is considered insufficient. Refunds proposed to compensate for this shortcoming are derisory, according to the magazine 60 million consumers. The MP considers it unacceptable that so many citizens are victims of arbitrary decisions emanating from private groups, without them being able to assert their legitimate rights or see their damage adequately compensated. The MP took note of the Minister's statements on this subject and the letter she sent. addressed to Mr. Maxime Saada, the president of Canal +, on September 2, 2022. However, more than two weeks after the events, the situation has still not been restored. Worse still, the TF1 group's suggestions to its aggrieved viewers to continue following its programs can involve significant costs, of the order of several hundred euros. The MP finds these proposals indecent. Citizens who asked for nothing should in addition, according to these large groups, paying to restore a service that should never have been cut in the first place, all because they are incapable of peaceful dialogue. How can we ensure that residents of rural areas can easily access DTT without having to resort to private subscriptions? he asks her if she will force the Canal + group to continue broadcasting the programs of the TF1 group, or at least provide aggrieved citizens a free alternative.

M. Laurent Alexandre interroge M. le ministre de l'éducation nationale et de la jeunesse sur la suppression d'un poste d'enseignant à l'école Jean-Zay de Firmi pour la rentrée prochaine. M. le député partage l'incompréhension des parents et des élus locaux. D'une part, M. le député rappelle que cette école est située en REP (réseau d'éducation prioritaire). Une suppression de poste dans une maternelle classée en REP est tout à fait inappropriée et ne permettra pas une une prise en charge suffisante des enfants, notamment dans un contexte sanitaire toujours incertain. Avec l'organisation générale due au REP, cette suppression de poste impliquera une mixité des niveaux. Cela va à l'encontre des mesures prises en faveur de l'accompagnement personnalisé pour chaque élève. D'autre part, M. le député s'étonne qu'une telle décision soit prise alors que l'école ne subit pas de baisse d'effectif et que de nouvelles inscriptions arrivent pour la rentrée. En tout état de cause, les enfants ne sont pas des chiffres et M. le député considère que les exigences politiques de qualité du service public d'éducation doivent primer sur les logiques comptables. M. le député indique aussi que la population concernée, au cœur du bassin minier de Decazeville, est déjà meurtrie par les décisions de fermeture de plusieurs entreprises (dont la SAM avec 333 licenciements) et de la maternité. En dernier lieu, M. le député regrette l'absence de concertation concernant la carte scolaire de la rentrée 2022-2023. Pourtant, le 9 février 2022, la secrétaire d'État auprès du ministre de l'éducation nationale, de la jeunesse et des sports, chargée de la jeunesse et de l'engagement, assurait en effet devant le Sénat, dans l'hémicycle, lors de la séance de questions au Gouvernement que « c'est en concertation avec le maire, les élus locaux, qu'on construit la carte scolaire » ou bien encore que « la construction de la carte scolaire est un moment clé parce qu'il est construit avec les élus locaux, il est construit dans un dialogue absolument intense et absolument essentiel ». Dans ce cas précis, les élus locaux sont unanimement opposés à cette fermeture qui, comme indiqué précédemment, ne repose sur aucune donnée objective. Force est donc de constater, au regard tout d'abord de la transmission d'une information unilatérale puis d'un arrêté officiel, que lesdits engagements de concertation et de co-construction de la carte scolaire pris devant la représentation nationale n'ont pas été respectés. Alors même que les maires font d'importants efforts pour accueillir des familles sur leur territoire et leur garantir des services publics de proximité efficaces, ces suppressions de postes sont inacceptables. Aussi et pour toutes ces raisons, il demande le maintien du poste en question et que cette décision ne soit pas prise au détriment d'une autre école du département et souhaite connaître ses intentions à ce sujet.
