Question 18191 — pensions: civil and military civil servants

France · National Assembly · 28 May 2024

Mr. Michel Sala draws the attention of the Minister Delegate to the Minister of Labor, Health and Solidarity, responsible for health and prevention, to the situation of certain national education officials experiencing a breach of the principle of equality regarding their retirement rights. Two schemes exist: the so-called “active” scheme whose minimum retirement age is 57 years, increased by 3 months per year since September 1, 2023 to reach age 59 with automatic full-rate entitlement set at age 62; the so-called “sedentary” plan whose minimum retirement age is 62 years, raised by 3 months every year to reach 64 years in 2030 with automatic full-rate entitlement set at 67 years. Whatever the category, active or sedentary, the gap between the departure age limit and the date of opening of rights is 5 years. However, a particular case provided for by Decree No. 2011-2013 of December 30, 2011 poses a problem: certain teachers classified in the active category and having joined the body of certified teachers (sedentary category) after 15 years of service with the status of teachers continued to benefit from the calculation applied to the active category for their right to retirement. Today, when they retire, it is applied to them the minimum retirement age for active categories and the retirement age limit for sedentary categories, bringing the gap between the minimum retirement age and the retirement age limit to 10 years. This situation implies a significant reduction in the pensions received by the people concerned and wishing to retire at the minimum retirement age. Also, he wants to know if the Government will intervene to resolve this anomaly and apply the retirement age limit of the active plan to the people concerned.

Question 17969 — professions and social activities

France · National Assembly · 21 May 2024

Mr. Michel Sala draws the attention of the Minister of National Education and Youth to the working conditions and remuneration of social workers in schools. During his general policy declaration in January 2024, the Prime Minister mentioned measures for school nurses which took the form of an index revaluation from May 1, 2024 and a revaluation exceptional compensation of 800 euros net for the first four months of the year, but no concrete announcement has been made for school social staff, forgotten once again. However, this profession is an essential element of the education system and provides essential missions. With only 2,700 social workers for 12 million students, the chronic shortage of staff poses many problems support, prevention and care for students. In the Gard, 2 high schools and 7 middle schools are no longer covered, as hours can no longer be provided due to lack of staff. However, the school social service has a primordial and recognized role in the prevention and resolution of social, family, educational and psychological difficulties encountered by young people during their school career as well as school disruptions such as absenteeism and dropping out. Despite this essential role and an equivalent level of diploma, social workers do not benefit from the same index scales as their school nurse colleagues. However, school ASSs are on the front line in the fight against school bullying, in the protection of minors in danger, for the psychological health of students and recognized as central to these issues displayed as priorities by the Prime Minister during his general policy speech. Since February 7, 2024, a petition has been launched to demand an increase in the index scales, the creation of positions commensurate with the missions and the allocation of the additional index salary (Ségur). It is time that these professionals are recognized for their true value and that concrete measures are taken to improve their working conditions and remuneration. Also, the MP asks the Minister if she will finally take into account the legitimate demands of professionals by soon announcing massive job creations for the school social service. He wants to know if it will also provide significant salary increases and immediately award them the additional index treatment; it also draws attention to the very low level of reimbursement of travel expenses for school ASSs, which incurs a cost for all social workers traveling from one establishment to another, particularly in rural areas.

Question 17750 — technical and vocational education

France · National Assembly · 14 May 2024

Mr. Michel Sala alerts the Minister of National Education and Youth to the non-replacement of certain technical staff in vocational high schools. In the distribution between the State and the region, it is the region which ensures the recruitment and management (in particular of remuneration) of territorial technical assistants of educational establishments (ATTEE), formerly technicians, workers and service personnel. (TOS) carrying out their missions in high schools. The region is recruiting agents for workshop shopping in technical high schools. They receive and ensure the storage and preparation of raw materials or materials necessary for educational lessons. At the Marie Curie hotel high school in Saint-Jean-du-Gard, after the retirement of the storekeeper from the training restaurant and the restaurant educational in June 2023, the Occitanie region has not opened any positions. She decided not to replace this agent on the grounds that this position does not fall within her competence because it contributes to educational content and not just technical content. The missions attached to this position have not changed but the position of this region has changed and it applies it in other establishments. The MP alerts the Minister because it is not just a high school professional in his constituency who is affected. All technical and vocational high schools in Occitanie are concerned and other regions are making the same choice as a cost-saving measure. However, the rectorate says it does not have the means to replace these agents. Also, he asks her how she will ensure the continuity of the teaching of technical and vocational subjects in high schools without the staff responsible for workshop warehousing.

Question 17579 — breeding

France · National Assembly · 7 May 2024

Mr. Michel Sala alerts the Minister of Agriculture and Food Sovereignty on the protection standards concerning free-range farming following episodes of avian flu and the biosecurity standards impacting poultry breeders. On April 5, 2023, the information report from the Economic Affairs Committee on avian flu and its impact on livestock, presented by MM. Fournier and Bolo, highlighted the consequences of an epizootic in 2021 and 2022 having caused the slaughter of more than 22 million poultry, causing more than 1.1 billion euros in compensation expenses insured by the State, equivalent to the economic losses for all sectors. While French free-range breeders only represent around 20% of poultry breeders in France, the latter have been particularly affected by preventive depopulations (slaughter of healthy poultry) and the application of biosecurity standards that are unsuitable for their farms, plunging them into psychological and economic distress. Indeed, precise and demanding rules are detailed in decree AGRG2129005A of September 30, 2021 relating to biosecurity measures and apply to everyone in a preventive manner to avoid the spread of these epizootics to the rest of the territory. However, these standards of biosecurity force open-air farms to align themselves with the standards of the poultry industry, even though they neither share responsibility for the outbreak of avian flu, nor experience the same structural health and economic fragility in the face of epizootics. This difference in exposure to health risk is also attested in the ANSES opinion relating to feedback on the avian influenza crisis. highly pathogenic 2020-2021 (part 3) as of January 13, 2022: only three cases were potentially due to wildlife, compared to 497 due to intensive or industrial breeding. He would like to know whether he intends to take measures to reconsider the regulations governing the poultry industry by giving it a distinct and protective status and thus allowing full recognition of free-range farming in the law.

Question 13751 — unions

France · National Assembly · 12 December 2023

Mr. Michel Sala questions the Minister of Agriculture and Food Sovereignty on the preparation of the professional agricultural elections which will take place at the beginning of 2025. These determine the representativeness of each agricultural union in the chambers of agriculture and in other bodies such as rural lease courts, land development and rural establishment companies (Safer) and commissions. Departmental Agricultural Orientation Boards (CDOA). To date, solidarity contributors affiliated to the work accident and occupational illness insurance for farmers (ATEXA) are recognized as active farmers without having the right to vote in this professional ballot. On this subject, the MP would like to know the follow-up given by the Government to the response it gave to Ms. Corinne Imbert, senator of Charente-Maritime on June 28, 2018: "If the choice not to expand the electoral body of the college of heads of operations and equivalents of the chambers of agriculture to these contributors has been recorded, it is proposed to continue the reflection, from the start of the next mandate, to assess to what extent and under what conditions the solidarity contributors could have a right to vote for the elections of members of the chambers of agriculture”. The Government would consider modifying the criteria for distributing funding for agricultural organizations to the detriment of minority structures. This would be an unprecedented democratic step backwards as parliamentary reports and the Court of Auditors have pointed out significant inequity in this area. The MP is concerned about these changes which would lead to a weakening of representativeness union in the agricultural world when, on the contrary, it is necessary to integrate the approximately 100,000 contributors into the electoral base of this election. The MP also regrets the disengagement of the Ministry of Agriculture which would entrust the organization of these elections to a service provider. He would like to know what the Ministry of Agriculture plans to implement in the coming months to guarantee the full exercise of the democracy in the professional agricultural elections of 2025.

Question 13315 — social policy

France · National Assembly · 28 November 2023

Mr. Michel Sala alerts the Minister of Ecological Transition and Territorial Cohesion about the two political districts of the city of the commune of La Grand'Combe which could fall outside the scope of the priority geography. Indeed, in 2015, during the previous mapping of priority districts, La Grand'Combe benefited from an exemption relating to the size of the urban unit. In the neighborhoods In downtown Arboux and Trescol-La Levade, we still see a concentration of poverty with a drop in income compared to the public establishment of intermunicipal cooperation (EPCI) and compared to mainland France. However, these two neighborhoods still do not meet one of the priority geography criteria, namely being in an urban unit of 10,000 inhabitants. Maintaining priority geography is essential for this municipality, for the development projects which are underway and for the associations which demonstrate ingenuity and inventiveness to meet the needs of the population. Above all, this would mean leaving the priority education network (REP) for schools in these neighborhoods. There would be more children per class, the financial resources of schools would be reduced and it is the youth of these two neighborhoods who would be the first victims. We know that other municipalities are in this situation, which is why he urgently asks if he intends to support the request for an exemption from the criterion of urban unity that the National Agency for Territorial Cohesion (ANCT) must make to the Council of State.

Question 13217 — building and public works

France · National Assembly · 28 November 2023

Mr. Michel Sala questions the Minister of Ecological Transition and Territorial Cohesion on the situation and concerns of stakeholders in the wood industry regarding the extended responsibility of the producer of building construction products and materials (REP PMCB). Beyond the current deteriorating situation, the sector is concerned due to regulatory application specific to EPR. The latter seems to create a distortion of competition between construction materials to the detriment of wood and biosourced materials. Articles L. 541-10-1 (4°) and L. 541-10-23 of the Environmental Code in their wording taken respectively from Article 62 and Article 72 of the “AGEC” law set the obligations incumbent on eco-organizations and distributors concerned by this new REP sector. The concrete regulatory implementation of the “AGEC” law, in within the framework of the PMCB REP, came into force on May 1, 2023. In fact, the amount of the eco-contribution between all the actors of the eco-organizations, on the basis of the specifications, will begin to increase, from 2024 and until 2027, which will be difficult to bear for the wood sector. Even though the Government has set very ambitious objectives concerning a massification of the strategic sector of wood as part of the ecological transition. In fact, the cost of processing building waste in the PMCB REP is 23 euros per cubic meter for wood and only 3.5 euros for concrete. In addition, it generates distortions of competition with imported products, France being a better bidder than the rest of the European Union. The price effect generated by this increase in the scales of the eco-organization will logically lead to a preference for concrete and steel, sending a signal inconsistent with the decarbonization objectives of the building sector. He therefore asks it to indicate how the Government has established the scales concerning the various materials subject to the PMCB REP and whether the Government intends to take corrective measures to compensate for a possible error in the regulatory calibration of the PMCB REP.

Question 13024 — waste

France · National Assembly · 21 November 2023

Mr. Michel Sala draws the attention of the Minister of Ecological Transition and Territorial Cohesion to the collection and processing of used VHS, CD, DVD and Blu-ray cassettes. Numerous recycling channels for sorted household waste have emerged in recent years, through REPs (extended producer responsibility sectors) under State supervision via ADEME. To date, VHS tapes, CDs, DVDs and Blu-rays do not enter into any of the REPs created. These objects, placed in recycling centers or thrown in the trash, are treated like OMR (residual household waste): they are incinerated or buried in a waste storage facility. This has a cost for communities passed on to taxpayers through the taxation of household waste. But above all there is an ecological issue. CDs, DVDs and Blu-rays are made of 90% polycarbonate. They also contain aluminum, varnishes, pigments and materials from glued labels. Their recycling is essential because polycarbonate is a secondary raw material in high demand. The manufacturing costs of new material are high and it retains most of its properties even after recycling. This also saves oil. VHS tapes contain different materials, including one plastic case and a cardboard jacket which can be recycled provided they are collected and treated separately. However, today, not only is this waste not recyclable but it also poses problems in recycling center installations because the magnetic tapes wind around crushers and other rotating machines. While Switzerland, the United Kingdom and other countries have established a sector of recovery of this waste, why are we not doing the same in France? Used VHS, CD, DVD and Blu-ray cassettes could benefit from separate collection and processing by being integrated into an existing REP sector, that of ASL (sports and leisure articles) or that of games and toys for example. He wants to know his position on this subject.

Question 12850 — teaching

France · National Assembly · 14 November 2023

Mr. Michel Sala draws the attention of the Minister of National Education and Youth to the situation of educational assistants (AED). The President of the Republic announced the merger of the statuses of supporters of students with disabilities (AESH) and AEDs during the National Conference on Disability, on April 26, 2023, to become “supporters for educational success” (ARE). This announcement, the implementation of which is scheduled for September 2024, marks a double contempt for the AESH as for the AED, these two professions being completely different, in addition there is a total vagueness on the new missions assigned to these ARE. These two professions are very poorly regarded and mainly exercised by women, who have been demanding recognition through status and salary for years. However, AESH are essential pillars of inclusion students with disabilities, while AEDs carry out very diverse tasks and are on the front line in the life of establishments as well as in the detection and fight against school harassment. Since the tasks, skills, training and role of these employees differ, these are two distinct professions which must be recognized for their specific skills. This is why he calls on the necessary creation of two differentiated statuses taking into account the specific characteristics of these two professions essential to the proper functioning of educational establishments and asks that these future statuses be constructed in consultation with those primarily concerned and the trade union organizations.

Question 12677 — water and sanitation

France · National Assembly · 7 November 2023

Mr. Michel Sala draws the attention of the Minister of Health and Prevention to the recent statement by Mr. Jaffre, director of the Occitanie regional health agency (ARS) concerning the potability of water in Occitanie, in particular due to its high concentration of PFAS. 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 lists the main places of contamination across Europe. More than 17,000 sites exceed the regulatory threshold of 10 ng/L and 2,100 are Hot Spots, exceeding the health threshold of 100 ng/L. In Aveyron, in Sainte-Eulalie-de-Cernon, a concentration of 810 ng/L was measured at the water source. This is 8 times more than the health threshold. And yet, the PFAS although understudied are very toxic. Endocrine disruptors, these perfluorochemicals are the cause of thyroid and kidney cancers, they have an impact on birth rates and cause numerous cardiovascular diseases. Their impact has been known since 2001 with the Stockholm Convention which aimed to reduce the use of the most dangerous PFAS such as PFOS. These PFAS used in the chemical industry for waterproofing use are also massively present in fire-fighting foam (AFFF) used in airports or by the State. In January 2023, a ministerial action plan to combat PFAS was presented. 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. Mr. Jaffre, director of ARS Occitanie, by extending the scope of measurements, 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, Mr. Minister, there is a necessary double approach: engaging the precautionary principle by using the power of the State in the greatest possible reduction of risks, particularly on drinking water wrongly classified as potable, but also to 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 centralized databases as well as 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 “REACH” for at best 2025, the MP asks the Minister what he intends to implement. works immediately to reduce the concentrations of PFAS in French waters. What alternatives to tap water is the State committed to putting in place to guarantee a non-toxic supply to the populations of Occitanie? The health of fellow citizens is at stake and the worrying opacity shown by public authorities regarding PFAS contamination is not reassuring for the population. He wants to know his position on the matter.

Question 12583 — people with disabilities

France · National Assembly · 31 October 2023

Mr. Michel Sala alerts the Minister of Solidarity and Families to the situation of workers in establishments or work assistance services (ESAT). These 1,400 structures accommodate more than 120,000 workers whose remuneration system ensures an income barely more than half the minimum wage, below the poverty line. These workers do not fall under the labor code, but under the social action and families code, because they are considered users of the establishments with which they have signed a contract. The average remuneration of people working in ESAT is only 800 euros net monthly for 35 hours of work per week. In the constituency of the MP, the ESAT des Gardons announced in the spring the closure of its Rouret site without involving the ESAT workers in the decision, triggering a movement among them unprecedented social. 3 days of action have already taken place to demand the maintenance of the site, to this local demand were immediately added social demands that they presented to me. Mr. MP was notably able to meet Jérôme, who opens the company alone at 5 a.m. to load his truck before starting a delivery tour of more than 150 km, always alone and with responsibility. Jerome works as a deliveryman 35 hours per week, for a salary barely exceeding 800 euros net per month. These workers claim, when they are seconded to the company, to have the same rights and remuneration as their colleagues. They also demand an increase in guaranteed remuneration and its indexation to inflation, the revaluation of retirement pensions, the reimbursement of travel, the return of the meal bonus, the increase holiday vouchers, participation in the CSE, as well as the right to training, union representation and the right to strike. Article 27 of the International Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, ratified by France, specifies that persons with disabilities have "the right to work, in particular to the possibility of earning their living by carrying out work freely chosen or accepted on a labor market and in an environment of open work, promoting inclusion and accessible to people with disabilities”. Some of the provisions to promote access to employment for people with disabilities in Bill No. 1528 for full employment are in line with the demands of these disabled workers. The MP alerts the Minister to the importance of the rapid implementation of the new rights provided for by this text. He also asks her how it intends to act to respond to their legitimate demand for an increase in salaries and for their status to be brought closer to that of workers in ordinary environments while maintaining the necessary support they benefit from in protected environments.

Question 8483 — foreign policy

France · National Assembly · 30 May 2023

Mr. Michel Sala questions the Minister for Europe and Foreign Affairs about the legal proceedings against Vanessa Mendoza Cortès, psychologist, president of the association for the defense of women's rights "Stop Violence" in Andorra, while she was exercising her right to freedom of expression. Indeed, Ms. Vanessa Mendoza Cortès defended the fundamental rights of women and girls in Andorra by criticizing the total ban on abortion in the country during a session organized in October 2019 by the United Nations Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW). However, it is necessary to remember that discussing the situation of women's rights in one's country is not a crime and represents the very purpose of these international meetings, so that women's rights progress in all countries and in all areas. Today accused of a crime “ against the prestige of institutions” (article 325 of the Penal Code), she risks a maximum fine of 30,000 euros as well as an entry on her criminal record. It is therefore urgent to act, all the more so because France, whose President of the Republic Emmanuel Macron is co-prince of Andorra, has recently adopted an ambitious international strategy in terms of sexual and reproductive rights and health. The latter emphasizes in particular that “France wishes to carry out ambitious political advocacy in all international, multilateral and bilateral spaces, in order to guarantee the rights to control one's body and sexual and reproductive health as an essential condition for equality between women and men”. This strategy also includes within these six thematic priorities that of “access to safe abortion”. In consistency with the feminist diplomacy carried by France as well as its International Strategy on the issues of sexual and reproductive rights and health, the MP asks him how France wishes to position itself in order to truly guarantee the right to defend human rights and more precisely the right of girls and women as well as the right to freedom of expression. He also wishes to know what actions will be implemented placed by France in order to support activists around the world who are regularly attacked for their actions and fights in favor of human rights.

M. Michel Sala appelle l'attention de M. le ministre de la santé et de la prévention au sujet des difficultés de fonctionnement de la CAF du Gard et sur la qualité du service rendu aux allocataires. Le bilan de la convention d'objectifs et de gestion (COG) qui vient de s'achever a montré que le système d'information n'a pas permis d'obtenir les gains de productivité attendus et que l'extension de la prime d'activité, l'évolution des allocations logement et l'attribution d'aides exceptionnelles en raison de la situation sanitaire ont mis en difficulté les caisses d'allocations familiales. En effet, la CAF du Gard a dû rendre des postes alors que la charge de travail s'est alourdie. Le recrutement de personnel en CDD induit une précarité parmi les salariés et une dégradation du service rendu à la population. Il en résulte un allongement du délai de traitement des demandes, des plages d'accueil du public réduites et des délais de rendez-vous très longs. La nouvelle COG 2023-2027 est en cours de négociation, elle doit intégrer les points d'alerte suivants : un maintien des effectifs dans l'attente que les simplifications législatives aient produit leurs effets ; une attribution de moyens humains supplémentaires en cas de nouvelles missions ; un maintien d'un personnel d'accueil du public en nombre suffisant ; un maillage du territoire pour avoir une relation de proximité et s'assurer de l'accès au juste droit ; un maintien d'une relation humaine avec les usagers qui n'ont pas accès au numérique et une attribution de moyens pour développer des actions portant sur la petite enfance, la jeunesse, la parentalité, l'animation de la vie sociale, du logement et du handicap. Dans le département de M. le député ,fortement marqué par la pauvreté, il est nécessaire et impératif que la CAF apporte des réponses rapides et adaptées aux besoins des allocataires. Dans de nombreux autres départements, les CAF ont également été mises en difficulté au cours de la dernière COG. Il interpelle M. le ministre pour que la COG 2023-2027 prévoit des moyens humains et financiers suffisants pour permettre aux CAF de fonctionner correctement et apporter un service de qualité aux allocataires.

Question 6615 — pensions: civil and military civil servants

France · National Assembly · 21 March 2023

Mr. Michel Sala questions the Minister of National Education and Youth on the retirement rights of trainee teachers at the IUFM. Indeed, Law No. 91-715 of July 26, 1991 relating to various provisions relating to the civil service provides, in its article 14, that "the periods during which teaching allowances were received, as well as the first year spent in a university training institute for teachers (IUFM) as beneficiaries are taken into account for the constitution and liquidation of the right to retirement pension, subject to tenure in a body of teachers and under conditions fixed by decree in the Council of State. However, it seems that the administrations refuse to apply the right to retirement for the teachers concerned, on the grounds that the decree implementing the said law has never been adopted or published. Consequently and as it currently stands, the periods of first year IUFM beneficiaries are neither validable nor valid for the calculation of their pensions. This question having already been asked almost in these terms to the Government, the ministry affirms in a previous response that decree no. 91-984 of September 25, 1991, annulled by the Council of State, was intended to benefit members of the teaching profession, having received the teaching allowance provided for by the aforementioned Decree No. 89-608, with a seniority bonus taken into account for classification in the corps and not for the constitution and liquidation of the right to retirement pension. This decree obviously does not correspond to Law No. 91-715 of July 26, 1991, which does not speak of classification in the corps, but of the right to retirement. It therefore does not truly respond to the issue. Wouldn’t examining a PLFRSS on pensions be an interesting opportunity to revisit this oversight? An amendment was tabled to this effect in the Senate but then withdrawn by its author, could this mean that the problem will be taken into account? It should be remembered that during the period concerned from 1980 to 1996, this concerned several tens of thousands of teachers receiving benefits. Also, he wants to know if the Government intends to publish a decree to implement this law and whether it plans to allow the retroactivity of the retirement rights of these teachers.

Question 6271 — secondary education

France · National Assembly · 14 March 2023

Mr. Michel Sala draws the attention of the Minister of National Education and Youth to the future of technological education in 6th grade. According to a memo from the general directorate of school education (Dgesco) dated January 21, 2023, note addressed to rectors and Dasen: science and technology teaching in sixth grade could be reduced to 3 hours per week. Thus reducing by one hour per week the technological education program in 6th grade. This hour would benefit from consolidation and deepening in French and mathematics. This would apply from the start of the 2023 school year but would therefore not modify the overall hourly allocation (DGH) for colleges. This information is worrying on several levels. The first is that once again teaching staff learn through the press, from significant changes affecting their working conditions. A method poorly received by representative organizations and which generates a lot of uncertainty. Secondly, it would be regrettable to note that the teaching of technology appears to be an adjustment measure for the Ministry of National Education. Advanced measurement does not provide any additional means. On the contrary, it questions the future of teachers of this subject. This ministerial improvisation does not offer any guarantee as to the maintenance of the service time of technology teaching. In addition, the heads of establishments having the freedom to organize services as they see fit, the responsibility for difficulties on the ground will fall on them. As a result, many positions risk being put at risk with additional services on several establishments or even with contract workers who will lose their jobs. Technological sciences, already diminished in their resources in recent years, continue to take a back seat. This risked pedagogically conditioning the absence of specific tools essential to the challenges of the coming decades. The energy transition necessary in view of global warming requires a better supervised educational concentration of this theme to provide the understanding of the issues that society needs. It is essential to develop a taste for this vocation among young students with resources that match the challenges. He asks him what he plans to do so that the teaching of technology is not penalized by the implementation of the “new 6th grade” system.

Question 6208 — associations and foundations

France · National Assembly · 14 March 2023

Mr. Michel Sala questions the Secretary of State to the Prime Minister, responsible for the social and solidarity economy and community life, about the mileage scale of volunteers. Under the terms of the law, volunteers of associations, subject to justification of the reality, number and importance of the trips made for the needs of the association can request compensation assistance linked to a scale determined kilometer. Only duly justified expenses can give rise to rights to tax reduction. Volunteer mileage costs are calculated based on a scale set each year by the tax administration as provided for in 1. b) of article 200 of the CGI (General Tax Code). The mileage scale for volunteers for the income tax return to be sent in 2022 has been published. This scale applies to kilometers traveled last year. He distinguishes between those accomplished with a car and those accomplished on two wheels. The 2022 volunteer mileage scale is 0.324 euros per kilometer for cars and 0.126 euros per kilometer for motorcycles, scooters and mopeds. This scale is different from the mileage scale for employees with actual expenses, with which it should not be confused. However, in view of the inflation of energy costs which continues to progress in 2023, impacting the growing evolution of fuel prices, it seems necessary that the evaluation of these costs incurred by volunteers be re-evaluated for the kilometers traveled in 2022 with a view to the 2023 declarations. He wishes to know if the Government intends to take measures to increase mileage aid, thus promoting the continuity of the commitment of fellow citizens to a social model of solidarity and encouraging collective emancipation.

France · National Assembly · 21 February 2023

Mr. Michel Sala alerts the Minister for Europe and Foreign Affairs regarding the bilateral tax convention between France and Greece. This, intended to put an end to a situation of double tax taxation, was signed by the Greek Minister of Finance and the French Ambassador on May 11, 2022. If it was in fact ratified by the Greek parliament, it has still not been ratified by the French parliament. It's necessary recall some elements of the situation. In application of the bilateral convention in force since 1964, teachers seconded to Greece were required to declare and pay their taxes in France. The French Embassy provides each year a certificate to this effect to be presented to the Greek tax authorities. However, at the end of 2020, Greece decided to interpret the convention differently and consider seconded teachers as taxable for tax purposes in this country with retroactive effect over 5 years. The consequence being the obligation to pay several thousand euros in tax with penalties to the Greek state each year. Please note that this measure was taken with the agreement of the Tax Legislation Directorate (DLF) of the French Ministry of the Economy and Finance. To be legal, the teachers concerned had to pay very high sums important and for some this has led to painful personal situations. Following this fiscal and administrative imbroglio and given the particularly painful situation on a human level, a new bilateral tax convention was signed in 2022. But as long as the ratification is not finalized by the two countries, the problem persists. He asks him what timetable the Government has envisaged for the examination of the bill of ratification of this convention in order to quickly put an end to this grotesque situation.

Question 5807 — diseases

France · National Assembly · 21 February 2023

Mr. Michel Sala draws the attention of the Minister of Health and Prevention to the publication of the implementing decree of law no. 2022-53 of January 24, 2022 aimed at the creation of a platform for referencing and caring for chronic covid-19 patients, known as the “long covid law”. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), 10% of people who have been affected by covid-19 are now affected by it. long covid syndrome. More than 17 million Europeans, including 700,000 French people, would be affected. In this context, the law of January 24, 2022 voted unanimously was particularly awaited by these patients. However, the implementing decree has still not been published today. Patients therefore still do not benefit from specific care and are still not recognized as suffering from a long-term illness (ALD). Several requests on this subject have already been made by parliamentarians but no information seems to have been updated. Also, he asks him to kindly indicate the date of publication of this implementing decree.

Question 2369 — professions and social activities

France · National Assembly · 18 October 2022

Mr. Michel Sala draws the attention of the Minister of Solidarity, Autonomy and Disabled People to the collective agreement for the aid, support, care and home services (BAD) branch signed on May 21, 2010 and which provides for kilometer compensation of 0.35 cents for employee travel. It has not been modified since and this rate is still in force. Today, this This amount does not even cover the cost of fuel although it also covers depreciation, additional insurance costs for professional use, maintenance, etc. The wear and tear and maintenance of vehicles traveling on mountain roads are significant in the territories. Distances traveled vary from 200 to 800 km per month. This has two consequences. The first is unacceptable: staff must pay for their travel to homes of the elderly. Some are reduced to using their savings. Added to the arduousness of this work, the long hours and the lack of recognition, these staff are all the more deserving. The second is simply inhumane. This amount of mileage compensation is one of the obstacles to recruitment in this sector. Due to a lack of sufficient staff, home help services cannot provide following requests for intervention from elderly people who have been released from hospitalization and wish to end their days at home. What society prevents people from dying at home? The modification of the collective agreement requires the meeting of the organizations representing employers and employees in the sector. It is not the responsibility of the Minister. But it can set a minimum amount of compensation in a regulatory manner. mileage, like the minimum wage for the hourly wage. This is why he asks him if he will determine a minimum scale corresponding to that of the tax administration (2022 scale).

Question 2188 — agriculture

France · National Assembly · 18 October 2022

M. Michel Sala appelle l'attention de M. le ministre de l'agriculture et de la souveraineté alimentaire sur la situation des producteurs d'oignons doux des Cévennes. M. le député considère que le régime de calamité agricole doit pouvoir être déclenché pour indemniser les agriculteurs. En effet, il relève que, cette année, les cultures d'oignons doux des Cévennes (AOP) ont été frappées par un ravageur : la cicadelle. L'origine de l'ampleur des dégâts serait due à la sécheresse, les champs d'oignons étant la seule culture irriguée au sein d'un milieu très sec, ce qui aurait conduit à une pression importante de l'insecte. Or le régime de calamité ne pourrait être déclenché au motif qu'il s'agit d'un risque sanitaire et non climatique ; pourtant, c'est bien une variation anormale d'intensité d'un agent naturel climatique, comme défini dans l'article L. 361-5 alinéa 2 du CRPM, qui est à l'origine de la perte d'exploitation. L'oignon doux des Cévennes a la distinction « zéro résidu de pesticide », (ZRP), ce qui exclut la pulvérisation d'insecticides, qui est de toute façon inefficace sur des exploitations de petites tailles, en terrasse, au sein d'un environnement forestier. La sélection génétique des variétés d'oignons pourrait être en partie une solution mais l'INRAE ne mène aucune recherche sur le sujet. Ces éléments font dire à M. le député qu'une réflexion sur le modèle de production agricole que l'on souhaite promouvoir est de rigueur. M. le député demande donc à ce que M. le ministre s'empare de ce sujet en prenant des mesures fortes en faveur du déclenchement du régime de calamité agricole et de la protection d'un modèle agricole écologiquement soutenable. Il porte la voix des producteurs, des représentants et de la coopérative Origine Cévennes consultés en lui demandant s'il va agir.
