Mr. Moerani Frébault draws the attention of the Minister of the Economy, Finance and Industrial, Energy and Digital Sovereignty to the difficulties encountered by the municipalities and public establishments of French Polynesia in the implementation of budgetary and accounting instruction M57. Since January 1, 2024, instruction M57 constitutes the budgetary and accounting framework under common law for local authorities and of their public establishments. This reform aims in particular to modernize local budgetary and accounting management, improve the quality of financial information and strengthen the transparency of public accounts. In French Polynesia, its implementation, however, remains confronted with a major technical difficulty linked to the lack of availability of the TOTEM computer protocol, necessary for production, publishing and transmission of budget models associated with the M57 nomenclature. This situation causes significant operational difficulties for Polynesian municipalities and public establishments, which must anticipate the implementation of new budgetary and accounting obligations while financial software publishers do not have the technical specifications necessary to adapt their solutions. The Union for promotion of the communes of French Polynesia (SPCPF) has therefore initiated, with the stakeholders concerned, several approaches to State services and publishers in order to move this issue forward. Despite these steps, no precise operational timetable concerning the provision of the TOTEM protocol has, to date, been communicated to the communities concerned. This situation is particularly worrying for municipalities Polynesians, who must be able to have, within deadlines compatible with their budgetary deadlines, the IT tools allowing them to prepare, produce and transmit their budgetary documents under legally and technically secure conditions. Also, he asks him to please specify the progress of the work relating to the TOTEM protocol and the reasons explaining its lack of availability. effective for communities in French Polynesia. It also asks it to specify the estimated timetable for finalization, transmission to software publishers and deployment of the TOTEM protocol, as well as the measures that the Government intends to take, in conjunction with the Polynesian communities and the publishers concerned, in order to guarantee effective and secure implementation of the M57 nomenclature in Polynesia.

Mr. Moerani Frébault questions the Minister of Action and Public Accounts on the need to anticipate the extension of tax aid schemes for productive investment overseas. Extended until December 31, 2029 by the finance law for 2024, these measures constitute an essential lever for the economic development of overseas territories. They make it possible to offset part of the additional structural costs linked to insularity, distance, the narrowness of markets and the logistical constraints specific to Overseas Territories. However, the most structuring investments require several years of preparation, financing and implementation. As the expiry of the measures is assessed on the date of completion of the operations, many projects can no longer be undertaken under satisfactory conditions. This situation creates uncertainty detrimental to investors and banking establishments, which condition their financing on sufficient visibility on the applicable tax framework. In French Polynesia, this problem is particularly sensitive. Investments in the tourism, infrastructure, renewable energy, agri-food processing and productive economy sectors require legal stability long term in order to sustainably support economic activity and employment. He therefore asks whether the Government intends to include, in the finance bill for 2027, an extension of tax aid schemes for overseas productive investment until December 31, 2034 in order to guarantee economic actors the visibility essential to the conduct of their projects.

Mr. Moerani Frébault draws the attention of the Minister of Action and Public Accounts to the situation of the regional customs directorate of French Polynesia and the demands made by the trade union organization Solidaires Douanes. The Solidaires Customs section of French Polynesia has sent a particularly comprehensive complaint file relating to the human and material resources of the regional customs directorate of Polynesia French (DRPF), the forecast management of staff and skills, the career conditions of agents falling under CEAPF status, as well as the conditions for carrying out missions in a territory characterized by strong island constraints and major security issues. This document highlights in particular persistent difficulties in terms of operational resources, adaptation of staff to sovereign missions, as well as as well as questions relating to internal promotion mechanisms and equal treatment between agents of different statuses. It also warns of the potential consequences of the recodification of the customs code on the organization of the service and on the conditions for carrying out missions in French Polynesia. Despite a first transmission of this file and a relaunch carried out in October 2025, no overall return has not been made at this stage. Consequently, he asks what action the Government intends to give to the demands made by the staff representatives of the regional customs directorate of French Polynesia; whether an evaluation of the human and material resources of this department is currently underway or planned; what guarantees can be provided in terms of equal treatment and career development CEAPF agents; whether a structured dialogue involving local trade union organizations is envisaged in order to examine all the issues raised and what response or consultation timetable the Government intends to implement on this issue.

Mr. Moerani Frébault draws the attention of the Minister of Action and Public Accounts to the situation of agents reporting to the State Corps for the Administration of French Polynesia (CEAPF) assigned to the regional customs directorate of French Polynesia. Several trade union organizations have warned of the impossibility for certain category C agents falling under CEAPF status to apply for the suitability lists allowing access to category B, even though they meet the required statutory conditions. This situation raises questions regarding the principle of equal treatment between public officials as well as the provisions of Decree No. 68-20 of January 5, 1968 relating to state bodies for the administration of French Polynesia. Staff representatives emphasize in particular that CEAPF agents can access certain professional exams nationals and that CEAPF category B agents can benefit from promotions towards category A, which makes it difficult to understand their exclusion from the category C to B suitability lists. He would therefore like to know the precise legal basis of this exclusion, the number of agents concerned as well as the measures that the Government intends to take in order to guarantee CEAPF agents a career development and rhythm of advancement equivalent to those of civil servants of the corresponding metropolitan bodies.

Mr. Moerani Frébault draws the attention of the Minister of Armed Forces and Veterans to the situation of minor students from French Polynesia educated in military establishments located in mainland France, in particular at the Technical Education School of the Air and Space Force (EETAAE) in Saintes. In August 2025, seven young Polynesians aged around 16 joined this establishment in general first class or technological as part of a course of excellence and commitment to the service of the armed forces. However, these minor students are not authorized to stay in the establishment during school holidays. Families must therefore either finance their return to French Polynesia, or find temporary accommodation solutions in mainland France, which are particularly difficult for young people who do not have any family support on site. THE The cost of a round trip between the mainland and French Polynesia is estimated at around 300,000 CFP francs, or more than 2,500 euros, entirely borne by families. If the initial outward ticket is covered by the army, no specific system seems to exist today to support returns during school holiday periods. This situation creates a de facto break in equality for overseas students engaged in these military training courses, to the extent that they cannot benefit from the Mobility Passport, nor from territorial continuity schemes, nor from specific assistance from the Ministry of the Armed Forces, in particular because of their status as “pupils” and not “students”. The families thus denounce a real administrative gray zone penalizing minors more than 15,000 kilometers from their territory of origin. This problem raises several important issues: maintaining family ties for minors; equal opportunities in access to military schools; the adaptation of national systems to overseas realities. Consequently, he asks: if the Government is considering the creation of a specific mobility assistance system for minor overseas military students; if an adaptation of the Mobility Passport or territorial continuity devices could be studied for these particular situations; whether long-term accommodation measures are envisaged; and finally, if discussions are initiated with the airlines in order to establish agreed rates for the families concerned.

Mr. Moerani Frébault draws the attention of the Minister of Culture to the structural difficulties encountered by the audiovisual sector in French Polynesia in accessing national support systems for cinematographic and audiovisual production, in particular the international tax credit (C2I) managed by the National Center for Cinema and Animated Images (CNC). Several Polynesian companies in the audiovisual sector have recently alerted to the persistent obstacles to the development of this sector, which is nevertheless strategic for local employment, the attractiveness of the territory and the cultural influence of France in the Indo-Pacific area. As the system currently stands, Polynesian production companies cannot benefit directly from the international tax credit, reserved for companies established in mainland France or in territories recognized as eligible. This This situation forces local producers to use French relay companies in order to make international filming eligible for the tax system. This constraint leads to a loss of local added value; a transfer of legal and financial governance outside the territory; structural dependence on metropolitan co-producers; and a weakening of the competitiveness of French Polynesia compared to other Pacific destinations with more accessible tax mechanisms. Furthermore, despite the existence of an agreement signed in 2013 between the CNC and the government of French Polynesia, several eligibility criteria for national aid remain largely unsuited to the economic and structural realities of the territory: obligation of CNC approved broadcasters, high financial thresholds, linguistic criteria or even mechanisms automatic support that is difficult to achieve given the volume of local production. This situation severely limits the ability of Polynesian producers to access national support systems, even though the sector represents several hundred direct and indirect jobs and fully participates in French cultural influence in the Pacific. Consequently, he asks him if the Government plans to allow direct access for Polynesian production companies to the international tax credit; whether an adaptation of the CNC's eligibility criteria to overseas realities, particularly Polynesian ones, is envisaged; and finally what is the progress of the audiovisual support fund project for Oceania announced in 2024, as well as its estimated implementation schedule.

Mr. Moerani Frébault draws the attention of Mr. Keeper of the Seals, Minister of Justice, to the serious dysfunctions encountered by people born in French Polynesia in their efforts to obtain a criminal record extract (bulletin no. 3). Since October 4, 2022, following the entry into force of Decree No. 2022-1135 of August 5, 2022, requests for criminal records from people born in French Polynesia are now centralized with the national criminal record in Nantes, putting an end to the local delivery previously provided by the court of first instance in Papeete. However, many users have since encountered automatic rejection of their requests, due to a national directory of places of birth that is manifestly incomplete or unsuitable for Polynesian administrative realities. Several municipalities or birthplaces in Polynesia French would not be properly integrated into national bases, notably Hanavave, Omoa, Fatu Hiva, Apataki, Mangareva or even Mataiea. This situation results in the impossibility of making certain requests online, inconsistencies between local civil status data and national databases, long and complex paper procedures and abnormally long delays in obtaining a bulletin no. 3. The consequences are particularly burdensome for the citizens concerned, with blockages in procedures linked to employment, training, administrative approvals and even voluntary activities. A concrete case notably led to the blocking for more than five months of the renewal of an approval with the employment, training and professional integration service (SEFI) in French Polynesia, preventing the continuation of training intended particularly to people with disabilities, employees and volunteers. The various exchanges initiated locally seem to converge towards a technical and structural problem falling under exclusively national competence, requiring intervention by the Ministry of Justice in order to update and harmonize the databases used by the national criminal record and the systems linked to civil status. Consequently, he asks him what measures the Government intends to take in order to quickly correct the dysfunctions affecting places of birth in French Polynesia in the national bases; when could complete harmonization of Polynesian civil status data with national systems take place; and finally, if transitional measures are considered in order to guarantee Polynesian citizens normal and rapid access to their criminal record extracts.

Mr. Moerani Frébault draws the attention of the Minister of State, Minister for Overseas Territories, to the obstacles encountered by many Polynesian students when settling in mainland France and more particularly by those who do not benefit from any scholarship or financial aid from the Country or the State. Indeed, the conditions imposed by lessors and real estate agencies, in particular the requirement for guarantors residing in mainland France and having of a tax notice, create a manifest inequality of treatment for these overseas students. Although they are French citizens, many find it impossible to meet these criteria, their families and guarantors residing in French Polynesia. This situation, recurring and reported by many students and their loved ones, places these young people in worrying precariousness and makes their academic career particularly difficult. It reflects the need to put in place specific and adapted measures to guarantee fair access to housing for overseas students in mainland France. Also, he would like to know what measures the Government intends to take to facilitate access to housing for Polynesian and overseas non-scholarship students, in particular by lifting the requirement for tax guarantors residing in mainland France; put in place an administrative support system adapted to their situation, and guarantee real equality of treatment between all French students, regardless of their place of family residence.

Mr. Moerani Frébault questions the Minister of State, Minister for Overseas Territories, on the consequences that the reform of exemptions from social charges provided for under the LODEOM regime could have, as envisaged for the social security financing bill for 2026. The joint report from the General Inspectorate of Finance and the General Inspectorate of Social Affairs, published in May 2025, makes several proposals which aim to standardize the system, in particular by removing the specific regimes applicable to certain territories (Guyana, Saint-Martin, Saint-Barthélemy) and by establishing a single scale for all overseas companies, regardless of their sector, size or location. These guidelines are causing serious concern across all overseas territories. They raise fears of an increase in labor costs, a reduction in qualified employment and an increased weakening of small businesses, in territories already marked by high unemployment rates, a lack of attractiveness for qualified labor and structural costs higher than those in France. If French Polynesia is not directly concerned by LODEOM due to its autonomy in matters of social security and labor law, the structural difficulties and The economic imbalances it faces are comparable to those of the DROMs. This is why this reform, even if targeted, calls into question the Government's overall vision in terms of differentiated support for economic activity in overseas territories. Furthermore, the MP questions the robustness of the economic hypotheses retained in the report, in particular the use of data from the year 2021, strongly marked by the health crisis and the failure to take into account recent reforms relating to general reductions in charges. He also notes a contradiction between these guidelines and the statements made by the Minister of the Economy before the Senate in May 2025, according to which the Government does not wish to increase the burdens on businesses. In this context, he asks him if the Government intends to renounce any reform purely budgetary of LODEOM, for the benefit of more in-depth, concerted work adapted to the diversity of economic and social realities overseas, including those of the communities governed by article 74 of the Constitution.

Mr. Moerani Frébault draws the attention of the Minister of Labor, Health, Solidarity and Families to the worrying situation of health policy in French Polynesia and more particularly to the crucial question of financing expensive molecules, particularly in the treatment of cancers and radiation-induced diseases. Like all overseas territories, French Polynesia is facing challenges specific in terms of public health: geographical fragmentation, isolation, dispersion of infrastructures and health indicators generally less favorable, or even deteriorating, compared to mainland France. Faced with this reality, the State's commitment to strengthening health policies in our territory is essential. Since 2021, the State has redirected its support towards improving the provision of care, the training of health professionals and the development of local research. These objectives are relevant and necessary, but they cannot obscure an urgent and structural need: that of supporting the coverage of the most expensive treatments, which weigh heavily on the Social Security Fund. As an illustration, cancer treatment in French Polynesia represents approximately 3 billion F CFP per year (or approximately 25 million euros), for nearly 800 new patients each year and more than 7,000 patients monitored. Nearly 30 to 40% of this expense is linked to the purchase of expensive molecules. Added to this is the cost of emergency medical evacuations, also borne by the CPS. These costs have now become unsustainable for the local social protection system. Without reinforced state support, continuity and equal access to The most innovative and necessary treatments risk being compromised. This could lead, in the short term, to a deterioration in the quality of care, an increase in evacuations to France and a widening of inequalities between Polynesian, overseas and French patients. The MP would like to point out that the right to access to care for all is guaranteed by the public health code, in particular its article L. 1110-5, which fully applies to overseas territories. It is therefore imperative to translate the principles of national solidarity and territorial equality into concrete actions. In this context, he regrets that the new “State-Country health” convention, although announced by the Minister of Health as having to be finalized in 2025, has still not been initiated. The renewal, for the second time, of the current agreement for one year additional, without a clear perspective, arouses great concern, both among elected officials and health professionals. Also, the MP would like to know precisely the progress of the discussions relating to this new “State-Country health” convention: Will this new framework take into account the financial reality of the CPS? Will it explicitly include support for financing expensive molecules and medical evacuations? And when can we expect to see this agreement come to fruition? He thanks him in advance for the insights that the MP will be able to provide on this situation, which calls for responses commensurate with the human, social and health challenges in French Polynesia.

Mr. Moerani Frébault draws the attention of the Minister of Labor, Health, Solidarity and Families to the shortcomings and administrative delays which persist in the care of injured soldiers from French Polynesia, as well as their families. The second edition of the Forum for Military Wounded, recently organized in Tahiti, highlighted a deeply worrying situation: numerous devices support and support applicable in France, whether it concerns health coverage, psychological monitoring, access to specialists, support for caregivers or aid for integration through employment, are still not operational on Polynesian territory. However, these systems exist within the framework of the ministerial “Wounded” plan or fall under common law. Even though Polynesia represents a significant breeding ground for recruitment for the French armies, injured soldiers returning to fenua find themselves confronted with a fragmented, sometimes failing system and a lack of fairness in access to rights and care compared to their brothers in arms from other overseas territories or France. The testimonies heard during this forum highlighted the endless obstacle courses to access benefits provided for by the law, as well as insufficient support for families, who are the first lines of help for the injured. It would seem that an agreement between the State, the Country and the Social Security Fund has been under discussion for several years in order to guarantee the effectiveness of these measures in Polynesia, without any concrete progress having been noted to date. This situation, unjustifiable with regard to the principles of national solidarity and of territorial equality, has become unjustifiable. Consequently, he wishes to know what measures it intends to take, in conjunction with the ministries concerned, to accelerate the finalization and signing of the agreement planned between the State, the Country and the CPS; guarantee equal access to care, social assistance and reintegration pathways for injured Polynesian soldiers; ensure better institutional coordination between national systems and local systems in favor of these soldiers and their families.

Mr. Moerani Frébault draws the attention of the Minister of State, Minister for Overseas Territories to the application of the principle of territorial continuity in French Polynesia. Article 2 of Law No. 2017-256 of February 28, 2017 relating to real equality overseas provides that “the establishment and maintenance of continuous territorial connections between the different components of the territory of the Republic constitute an issue of sovereignty and a priority of State action. This principle aims to strengthen cohesion between the overseas territories and France, as well as to guarantee regular connections within these territories, in accordance with article L. 1803-4 of the transport code. The latter explicitly provides for the eligibility of internal transport for state aid when particular access difficulties exist. French Polynesia, with its 118 islands, 76 of which are inhabited, scattered over an area of 5.5 million square kilometers, perfectly illustrates these difficulties. For example, the connection between the island of Fatu Iva in the Marquesas archipelago which does not have an airport and Papeete is obvious: 4 hours by boat to get to Hiva Oa, then 45 minutes by car to reach the airport and finally 4 hours by flight to reach Papeete for a total transport cost exceeding 600 euros. In a context where the cost of living is higher than in France, this amount constitutes a significant obstacle to the mobility of residents. Opening up Polynesian territories is essential to guarantee people's access to health services, education, employment, administrative procedures, as well as public services. It also responds to the need to maintain links with the most isolated populations, while fighting against the exodus towards urban centers and supporting the economic development of the islands. Currently, Guyana benefits from state support for internal mobility, to the tune of 1.5 million euros. This system, although beneficial for this territory, could usefully be extended to French Polynesia, whose geography and needs in terms of internal transport are just as glaring. The MP therefore asks the Minister to please specify the reasons why internal territorial continuity in French Polynesia, provided for by the legislation in force, is still not implemented. He would also like to know if the Government plans to create a specific system to meet the mobility needs of Polynesians.

Mr. Moerani Frébault draws the attention of the Minister of State, Minister for Overseas Territories, to the lack of transparency surrounding the allocation of criteria of moral and material interests in transfer procedures for overseas civil servants. The CIMM system, although essential to allow agents from overseas to practice their profession as close as possible to their territory and their families, suffers from a glaring lack of data encrypted. To date, no regular and exhaustive publication makes it possible to know the total number of requests made each year by territory, the percentage of favorable and unfavorable decisions, as well as the possible reasons for rejection. This lack of information prevents any effective monitoring and any objective evaluation of the system. The only official report presented on this subject is that of the general management of Administration and Civil Service (DGAFP), provided for by article 26 of Law No. 2019-828 of August 6, 2019 on the transformation of the civil service. However, this report, although necessary, remains insufficient to fully assess the impact of CIMMs and guarantee the fairness of decisions. Overseas elected officials, regularly contacted by citizens in distress faced with transfer refusals, struggle to obtain precise answers due to a lack of official data accessible. Also, the MP asks the Minister if he is considering the establishment of a system allowing better transparency on the application of the CIMM, in particular through the regular publication of detailed statistics by territory and by administration.

Mr. Moerani Frébault draws the attention of the Minister of State, Minister for Overseas Territories, to the amendment to remove CESER France from the bill relating to economic simplification. The regional economic, social and environmental councils (CESER) of the overseas territories and the Economic, Social, Environmental and Cultural Council (CESEC) of French Polynesia play a fundamental role in local governance and democratic consultation. Their possible removal would call into question a fragile institutional balance and harm participatory democracy in territories where the economic, social and environmental issues are particularly specific. The overseas CESERs and the CESEC of Polynesia are the only bodies allowing organized civil society to be associated with regional and local public policies. Composed of representing businesses, unions, associations and the education and research sector, they constitute spaces for exchange and proposals essential for adapting public policies to overseas realities. In French Polynesia, the CESEC occupies a special place since it is included in the territory's autonomy statute. It plays an interface role between the local government, the Assembly of the French Polynesia and civil society. Its existence guarantees a permanent and stabilizing dialogue, essential to the proper functioning of autonomous institutions. The CESERs and the CESEC have seen their missions reinforced by the legislator over the years: the Grenelle 2 law (2010) gave them environmental responsibilities, the NOTRe law (2015) consolidated their role in evaluating public policies and the 3DS law (2021) placed them in the heart of territorial foresight. Their removal would contradict these legislative advances and would deprive the overseas territories of valuable expertise. Their budgetary cost is, moreover, extremely limited - representing on average 0.1% of regional budgets - while their contribution in terms of social dialogue, foresight and anticipation of economic and environmental transformations is considerable. In this context and in view of the particular challenges facing overseas territories, it appears unjustified and detrimental to eliminate these bodies. Also, he would like to know if the Government intends to guarantee the maintenance of the overseas CESERs and the CESEC of French Polynesia, in order to preserve an essential tool for institutional stability and participatory democracy in these territories.

Mr. Moerani Frébault draws the attention of the Minister of the Economy, Finance and Industrial and Digital Sovereignty to the lack of clarity of credits intended for overseas. During the examination of the finance bill (PLF), the credits intended for overseas territories are distributed among multiple budgetary missions and are not limited to the “Overseas” mission alone. This dispersion of credits makes it difficult for parliamentarians a global and precise understanding of the budgetary effort made by the State in favor of these territories. According to the Court of Auditors, in 2023, budgetary appropriations dedicated to overseas territories represented a little more than 3.8% of expenditure in the general State budget, or 22.16 billion euros in payment appropriations, spread over 101 programs relating to 32 different missions. The “Overseas” mission only represented 13% of this effort, far behind the “School education” mission, which alone brought together 37% of the funds intended for overseas. This fragmentation of credits harms the clarity of the State's real budgetary effort in favor of overseas territories. It complicates the analysis for parliamentarians, making it more difficult to have an overall understanding of the State's financial commitments towards these territories. The document of transversal policy (DPT) “overseas” is supposed to offer a consolidated vision of the financial effort of the State. However, according to a Senate report, this document suffers from an obvious lack of readability and is not available within a time frame allowing Parliament to use it effectively during budgetary debates. Faced with this lack of visibility and the resulting complexity, he asks him if he plans to make available overseas parliamentarians a summary document detailing all the credits allocated to overseas territories, all missions combined, in order to facilitate budgetary review and ensure better transparency on the State's financial commitments.

Mr. Moerani Frébault draws the attention of the Minister of Labor, Health, Solidarity and Families to a major problem concerning prison officers from overseas communities during their integration into the prison administration in France. Before their recruitment, these agents are affiliated to the social security systems of their territory of origin - the Social Insurance Fund (CPS) for French Polynesia and CAFAT for New Caledonia and Wallis and Futuna. However, as soon as they are integrated into the French prison administration, they must provide CERFA forms 988-02 and 988-03, attesting to the cancellation of the social security organization of their affiliation, in order to open their rights to the primary health insurance fund (CPAM) in France. However, this administrative transition leads to significant delays, during which these agents find themselves without effective social security coverage for several months, thus depriving them of rapid access to care and health benefits. This situation is unacceptable for civil servants entering the service of the State. The problem also arises for family benefits, the management of which is ensured in these communities by the CPS or the CAFAT. Transfer to the cash register of family allowances (CAF) in France being complex and slow, these agents find themselves deprived of family allowances for several weeks, generating financial difficulties for their households. Finally, access to the family treatment supplement (SFT) is seriously hampered. To benefit from it, agents are asked to provide a statement of family benefits corresponding to the month of their entry into training and that of the month of demand.
