Mr. Elie Califer alerts the Minister of the Economy, Finance and Industrial, Energy and Digital Sovereignty to the persistent weakening of insurance coverage in Guadeloupe and, more broadly, in the overseas territories. The penetration rate of damage insurance remains structurally lower than that observed in France, standing at around 50% in Guadeloupe and Martinique compared to 96% in average in France, according to Senate information report no. 122 (2019-2020) and the report of the General Inspectorate of Finance and the General Council for the Environment and Sustainable Development of January 2020. This situation, already documented after the devastating passage of Cyclone Irma in September 2017 - the cost of which for insurers amounted to 2 billion euros in Saint-Martin and Saint-Barthélemy - continues to get worse. In its April 2026 report devoted to the natural disaster compensation system, the Court of Auditors notes that the overseas territories, which represent only 4.1% of the French population, concentrate 10% of the claims of the CatNat system since 2000 for only 1.8% of the contributions collected, with a coverage rate significantly lower than that of France depending on the territories. The first report from the Observatory insurability, implemented by the Central Reinsurance Fund as part of the third national plan for adaptation to climate change and submitted in June 2026, confirms the need for particular vigilance overseas, where the number of insurers present remains half as many as in France. In the field, companies and individuals report increasing premiums as well as refusals or limitations of coverage which make certain goods difficult to insure, aggravating an already fragile situation for territories particularly exposed to climate risks. If the Government announced, on June 17, 2026, three lines of action in response to this report - including the launch of an inter-inspection mission on overseas insurance coverage and the periodic review of the CatNat surcharge rate -, no precise timetable nor any guarantee on the balanced distribution of this burden between policyholders has not yet been communicated. He therefore asks what means the Government intends to mobilize to guarantee, in conjunction with insurance players and local authorities, lasting access to insurance in the overseas territories. He also asks him to specify the timetable for the announced inter-inspection mission.

Mr. Elie Califer draws the attention of the Minister of the Economy, Finance and Industrial, Energy and Digital Sovereignty to the conditions of effective application, in Guadeloupe, Martinique and Guyana, of the new edition of the social leasing system for electric vehicles. Launched in January 2024, this system, which allows the rental of a new electric vehicle for a rent capped at 200 euros per month, excluded the Antilles and Guyana from its first edition. During its second edition, opened at the end of September 2025, an official extension to all overseas territories was announced; in fact, only Reunion Island was able to benefit from it, the system remaining unavailable in Guadeloupe, Martinique and Guyana due to a lack of dealers able to offer the required monthly payments. On October 21, 2025, this situation had been brought to the attention of the Government, which had recognized the anomaly and announced the referral to the prefect of Guadeloupe in order to identify the causes. Professionals in the sector have since clearly established the structural blockages involved: an average additional cost of 10% on new vehicles linked to maritime transport and dock dues, higher bank interest rates than in France, a lower repurchase value due to of climatic exposure and the absence, unlike Reunion Island, of an exemption from dock dues on electric vehicles. The Government announced, on July 8, 2026, the opening of the third edition of the system in the Antilles and Guyana from July 16, 2026. If this announcement is expected, the precedent of 2025 calls for caution regarding its concrete translation, since the same economic and taxes would not have been specifically treated for Guadeloupe, Martinique and Guyana. He asks him to specify the tax and financial adaptation measures specific to the Antilles and Guyana which are concretely implemented to guarantee that the monthly payments offered in Guadeloupe, Martinique and Guyana will actually be comparable to those in France. Furthermore, he asks him to specify the timetable implementation in these territories as well as the monitoring methods by the Government to ensure, in the weeks following the opening of the system, that West Indian and Guyanese households will actually be able to access it; for the moment, this essential device for the purchasing power and energy transition of Guadeloupe excludes precisely the households that it claims to target: in Guadeloupe, the poverty rate reaches 34 to 40% of the population, compared to 14 to 15% in France.

Mr. Elie Califer alerts the Keeper of the Seals, Minister of Justice, to the persistent absence of a specially designed hospital unit (UHSA) in Guadeloupe, even though the situation in the territory's penitentiary establishments is becoming particularly worrying. Several serious attacks committed against prison staff illustrate the urgency of this problem. In December 2023, a supervisor was scratched, stabbed and bitten, to the point of losing part of his ear. In October 2024, another agent was the victim of a scalding event which resulted in serious burns to his face and arm. In June 2025, a supervisor was again thrown with hot liquid, while in December 2025, a supervisor was violently punched in the face. These attacks all have one thing in common: they were committed by prisoners with psychological disorders, lack of suitable structures allowing their secure care. In fact, Guadeloupe still does not have any UHSA, a structure that is nevertheless essential for the reception and monitoring of detained people suffering from mental health disorders. Created to meet the specific psychiatric care needs of prisoners, UHSAs constitute an essential hybrid system between the universe prison and psychiatric hospital. However, more than twenty years after their introduction into the French prison landscape, Guadeloupe remains deprived of this fundamental tool. This deficiency occurs in a context that is already particularly tense for the local prison administration. Staff, faced with chronic prison overcrowding and understaffing estimated at sixteen missing positions, denounce poor conditions. degraded work, generating professional burnout and psychosocial risks. Furthermore, the local context of high intensity of violence and crime further reinforces the urgency of an adapted response. In 2025, Guadeloupe recorded 47 homicides, 237 attempted homicides and 286 weapons seized. In such an environment, the effectiveness of the penal response imperatively requires a penitentiary system capable of to fully ensure its missions of security, surveillance and care of the most vulnerable prisoners. Faced with this alarming situation, he asks what concrete measures the Government intends to implement so that Guadeloupe can finally be equipped with a specially equipped hospital unit, meeting the growing needs for psychiatric care in prisons and thus guaranteeing better protection of prison staff.

Mr. Elie Califer draws the attention of the Minister of Agriculture, Agri-Food and Food Sovereignty to the attractiveness of local public agricultural education and professional training establishments in France. In a context marked by the need to strengthen food sovereignty and promote more sustainable production models, agricultural education constitutes a strategic lever essential. Local public agricultural education and vocational training establishments (EPLEFPA), commonly called “agricultural high schools”, fully participate in the training of future professionals called upon to take on these major challenges. However, they remain insufficiently known and suffer from a lack of attractiveness. The significant increase in the number of pupils, apprentices and students observed in these establishments for seven years must be put into perspective insofar as it is mainly based on the development of apprenticeship, followed in particular by adults already engaged in the agricultural sector. Information report no. 2701 on agricultural education in 2024 highlights that the number of students enrolled in initial training through school decreased by 5% between 2017 and 2023. Since 2023, the school route has experienced a increase of 1% each year. While one in two farmers will retire within ten years, these student numbers are still largely insufficient to ensure the renewal of generations of workers in the agricultural sector. EPLEFPAs continue to suffer from a lack of appeal, largely attributable to communication that is still too limited and insufficiently structured. Agricultural sectors remain insufficiently known or too often perceived as intended for students in difficulty or only for the children of farmers, despite the diversity of pathways they offer, the wealth of their opportunities and their structuring role in transformations in the agricultural sector. Increased mobilization is necessary in order to make this type of education better known and to encourage the orientation of students towards these establishments from the college. The orientation law for food sovereignty and the renewal of generations in agriculture (LOSARGA Law) promulgated in March 2025 set the objective of increasing by 30% the number of learners in agricultural and agri-food training by 2030. If the text provides for a set of actions and mechanisms aimed at promoting EPLEFPA from the outside, no provision provides for credits allowing these establishments to implement internal communication to promote their training and courses. He would like to know what budgetary credits the Government intends to mobilize to strengthen communication and the promotion of agricultural high schools among students, families and the general public by providing agricultural education in particular with dedicated personnel trained in communication professions, in order to conduct a ambitious and coordinated national strategy in this area, an essential condition for responding to the challenges of renewing agricultural generations and transitioning towards a more sustainable model.

Mr. Elie Califer draws the attention of the Minister to the Minister of Labor, Health, Solidarity and Families, responsible for health and access to care, to the HeberProt-P treatment so that it can be marketed in France. HeberProt-P is a Cuban treatment that promotes healing of advanced foot ulcers in diabetic patients. Foot ulcer affects 25% of diabetic patients. In addition being painful and disabling, it can also lead to amputation. In 2022 in France, more than 4 million people were identified as diabetic, or 5% of the population. In the overseas territories, the population rates affected by diabetes are even higher: 13.6% in Reunion, 12% in Guadeloupe and around 11.5% in Guyana and Martinique. All these patients are threatened by the risk of amputation. In Guadeloupe, 300 lower limb amputations are carried out each year because of wounds that do not heal, including those on diabetic feet. These figures are alarming. The fight against foot ulcers is a public health issue that must be taken seriously. HeberProt-P helps reduce amputation rates in patients by up to 75%. It has already demonstrated its effectiveness by significantly improving the quality of lives of around 450,000 people. In Colombia, for example, out of 469 patients treated, only three had to be amputated. While this treatment is already used in 25 other countries, including the United States of America and France, particularly overseas, is strongly affected by diabetes, the impossibility of using this treatment within the territory seems unreasonable. She therefore asks him to specify the modalities by which he could stimulate the start of clinical research on the HeberProt-P treatment which will increase the chances of French diabetics avoiding amputation.

Mr. Elie Califer draws the attention of the Minister to the Minister of State, Minister of the Interior, to the fact that the method of burial consisting of burials in vaults raised above the ground and comprising several boxes or drawers in which the coffins are placed is, in the current state of the legislation, an “illegal” burial process. Indeed, article R. 2223-3 of the general community code Territorial (CGCT) provides that “each burial takes place in a separate grave. Each pit is 1.50 meters to 2 meters deep and 80 centimeters wide. It is then filled with well-trodden earth.” However, for many years, burials in raised vaults, called “enfeu burials”, have been carried out in several French municipalities. This method, long tolerated, has taken on importance growing, particularly following the covid-19 pandemic, which has led to a sharp increase in the number of deaths and, consequently, a rapid saturation of available funeral spaces. The absence of a clear legal framework surrounding this practice places municipal authorities in a situation of legal vulnerability, exposing them to possible liability being called into question, despite the clearly necessary for these arrangements. Many municipalities today find it physically impossible to offer new vaults or burial sites in the ground. Also, he asks to please indicate the regulatory provisions that he intends to specify in this regard.

M. Elie Califer appelle l'attention de M. le ministre de l'intérieur et des outre-mer sur la question de l'application de la Charte sociale européenne dans les outre-mer. Adoptée en 1961, ratifiée par la France en 1973 et révisée en 1996, la Charte sociale européenne est un traité du Conseil de l'Europe qui, complétant la Convention européenne des droits de l'Homme, garantit aux individus des droits sociaux et économiques fondamentaux. Plus rigoureusement, elle leur assure un large éventail de droits tels que le droit à l'emploi, le droit au housing, le droit à la santé, le droit à l'éducation, le droit à la protection sociale, le droit aux services sociaux, etc. Aussi, elle met l'accent sur la protection des personnes vulnérables comme les personnes âgées, les enfants, les personnes handicapées et les migrants. Néanmoins, en dépit de la ratification faite du texte en 1973 par les autorités françaises, il semble qu'à ce jour, aucune mesure n'ait été prise pour qu'il soit fait application de la Charte sociale européenne dans les territoires ultramarins. En effet, selon les termes disposés par article L de la Charte, une telle application aurait nécessité des autorités gouvernementales d'adresser au Secrétaire général du Conseil de l'Europe une déclaration faisant état de cette dite application ultramarine de la Charte. Or en l'absence d'une telle déclaration, aucune procédure de réclamations collectives ne semble à ce jour pouvoir être introduite au profit des droits sociaux et économiques fondamentaux des ultramarins devant le Comité européen des droits sociaux. En conséquence de cela, il lui demande de préciser les mesures que le Gouvernement souhaite prendre pour que la présente Charte puisse désormais bénéficier aux territoires ultramarins et leurs populations.

Mr. Elie Califer draws the attention of the Minister Delegate to the Minister for Ecological Transition and Territorial Cohesion, responsible for transport, to the surge in prices affecting air connections between France and Guadeloupe and its consequences for students from the archipelago. After a cumulative increase of 21.8% over 2022, the passenger air transport price index shows an increase air fares of more than 49% in January 2023 for flights linking Guadeloupe to Paris. A few months before the summer university break, thousands of Guadeloupean students studying in mainland France are worried about their financial capacity to reunite with their families living on the archipelago. Thus, if the credits relating to territorial continuity carried by the overseas mission have experienced a favorable development and have been increased by parliamentary amendment, they remain dramatically underfunded in view of the inflationary fever which is hitting the price of plane tickets (which can now exceed the equivalent of a monthly minimum wage). Considering that the repercussion of the increase in fuel prices cannot, in itself, explain this price surge, the MP wishes to know the position of the Minister on the establishment of negotiations allowing a reduction in “fuel surcharges” unduly collected by airlines to compensate for the increase in the price of oil, security expenses and insurance premiums. He would also like to know the Minister's opinion on a revision of the resource threshold per tax share to benefit from the various continuity aids and on a change in the calculation of public continuity aids. territorially not in a lump sum manner (amount defined by regulation) but according to a support rate (aid therefore evolving according to the ticket prices observed). Finally, beyond the proposals he has made in favor of the establishment of an "overseas resident tariff", he wishes to have details of the initiatives carried out by the Ministry of Transport in favor of better regulation of airline ticket prices, a possible price capping and preservation of the purchasing power of overseas households.

Mr. Elie Califer draws the attention of the Minister of the Interior and Overseas Territories to the material and human resources devoted to the fight against drug trafficking, against the illegal circulation of weapons and, more generally, against insecurity and delinquency in Guadeloupe. The annex to Law No. 2023-22 of January 24, 2023 on orientation and programming of the Ministry of the Interior announces the deployment of resources in each overseas community: “new technological tools to fight against trafficking or even irregular immigration”; “observation and surveillance equipment (night sight binoculars, long distance cameras)”; “additional nautical resources”; “container scanners in major seaports or hand-held scanners in maritime terminals”; “surveillance radars, body scanners and dog technical teams”; “surveillance drones”. Fully mobilized to offer all the means to the archipelago to ensure public security and order, the MP wishes to know the results of government action carried out in this area since 2017 as well as the details or projections, for each of the aforementioned items, of the quantum of additional resources from which Guadeloupe will benefit as well as a forecast timetable. deployment of LOPMI. Furthermore, given the actions taken to dismantle drug networks, he would like to be informed of the human investigative resources deployed in Guadeloupe by the Anti-Narcotics Office. Finally, he asks him to confirm that Guadeloupe will be considered a priority territory for the allocation of additional personnel, to benefit from FIPDR funds and to welcome new units of mobile forces or new gendarmerie brigades among the 200 which will soon be created at the national level.

Mr. Elie Califer draws the attention of the Prime Minister to the political follow-up to be given to the judgment rendered on January 2, 2023 by which the Paris High Court rendered a decision to dismiss the case in the chlordecone poisoning scandal. Although deemed irresponsible under article L. 121-2 of the penal code, the State, responsible for this pollution and contamination, remains accountable and responsible for the scourge. Scandalous for some, offensive for others, this dismissal must call, beyond the legal action to be taken by the parties, a strong political response. Thus, in addition to the Chlordecone 4 plan, the MP would like to know the means committed to fundamental research and the depollution of water and soil. He thus asks the Prime Minister if the Government is ready to declare “interest national » research into soil depollution so that everything is done to degrade this molecule which contaminates soil, water and bodies. He would also like to know about ongoing medical studies funded by the State to establish a link between exposure to chlordecone and the development of a pathology. Finally, following the model of what has been done in favor of asbestos victims, he wishes to know the position of the Government on the advisability and feasibility of creating a compensation fund for all victims of exposure to chlordecone, making it possible to initiate real reparation.

Mr. Elie Califer draws the attention of the Minister of Health and Prevention to the application of article 71 of Law No. 2019-774 of July 24, 2019 relating to the organization and transformation of the health system. Faced with medical desertification at work in overseas territories, this article aims to enable practitioners with diplomas from outside the European Union (PADHUE) to settle in the Antilles-Guyana and Saint Pierre and Miquelon. The MP recalls in this case that with 87 doctors per 100,000 inhabitants, Guadeloupe ranks fourth among the regions with the lowest densities of doctors and that 21 municipalities out of 28 are classified as “priority intervention zones” by the ARS. This measure taken as a derogation and transitional ending on December 31, 2025, he would like to have a quantitative and qualitative assessment of the impact of this facilitation of the recruitment of practitioners trained outside the national territory on the provision of care in the territories concerned in order to consider its renewal or adjustments.

Mr. Elie Califer alerts the Minister of Health and Prevention on the reinstatement of personnel suspended under the application of the provisions of article 12 of the law of August 5, 2021 relating to the vaccination obligation of healthcare personnel. Seven months after the excesses and acts of urban violence which set Guadeloupe and Martinique ablaze, no one can ignore that the vaccination obligation imposed on personnel in contact of patients was the catalyst. In Guadeloupe, this vaccination obligation would have had the direct consequence, according to available data, of the immediate suspension of 1,150 professionals out of the 17,500 people subject to it. If the number of new hospitalizations for covid remains, for the moment, relatively stable, the probable intensification of the circulation of the virus on the archipelago raises fears of the specter of a rapid embolization of care provision. While the Minister showed himself open to a possible reintegration of caregivers during the discussion of the health monitoring bill and the new article 4 of the said law would make it possible to return to this vaccination obligation under certain conditions, he would like to know what prospects for reintegration, compensation and advancement the State can currently give to these unfairly ostracized personnel.
