GRACE Act

United States · United States Congress · 9 April 2019

Guaranteed Refugee Admission Ceiling Enhancement Act or the GRACE Act This bill establishes that the maximum number of refugees admitted each fiscal year shall be no less than 95,000 and that the maximum number shall be treated as the numerical goal for refugee admissions for the applicable fiscal year. The President may set a higher number if it is justified by humanitarian concerns or is otherwise in the national interest. Currently, the number admitted each fiscal year may not exceed 50,000 unless the President determines that a higher number is justified by humanitarian concerns or is otherwise in the national interest. The bill directs the President to take into consideration information from the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees when establishing the maximum admission number and making certain other related decisions. The President shall report to Congress quarterly on (1) the number of refugees admitted during the preceding quarter, (2) the number of aliens who were security-cleared during the preceding quarter, (3) a plan to reach the numerical goal for admitted refugees for that fiscal year, and (4) other related information.

Question 20148 — impôts locaux

France · National Assembly · 5 April 2019

M. Laurent Garcia attire l'attention de M. le ministre de l'économie et des finances sur la mise en œuvre de la taxe de séjour réformée en 2017 et entrée en vigueur depuis le 1er janvier 2019, et plus précisément sur les dispositifs d'exonération qui risquent de mettre en difficulté financière les communes ou intercommunalités susceptibles d'en percevoir les recettes. En 2016, le produit total de la taxe de séjour s'est élevé à 364 M d'euros, réparti entre les communes (236 M d'euros), les EPCI (109 M d'euros) et les départements (19 M d'euros). Or ces recettes se montrent nécessaires pour certaines communes afin d'assurer une comptabilité soutenable et durable. Les dispositifs d'exonération établis dans l'article L. 2333-31 du code général des collectivités territoriales postulent que sont exemptées de la taxe de séjour « les personnes bénéficiant d'un hébergement d'urgence ou d'un relogement temporaire ». Ainsi, les personnes ayant droit à un hébergement d'urgence comme régi dans l'article L. 245-2-2 du code de l'action sociale et des familles, ou en situation de relogement temporaire sont hébergées par les efforts de l'État. La pratique de l'État d'acheter des hôtels, comme l'acquisition de 62 Hôtels Formule 1 par la SNI en 2018 pour loger des demandeurs d'asile et des citoyens en situation d'urgence se traduit par une perte d'offre hôtelière dans la commune. De plus, les résidences hôtelières à vocation sociale, définies selon l'article L. 631-11 du code de la construction et de l'habitation qui permettent à l'État de louer des hôtels à des prix fixés préalablement, ont grandi en volume et font ainsi partie de l'exonération de la taxe de séjour. De fait, ces pratiques sont un transfert de moyens locaux à l'État central. Pour chaque nuitée payée par l'État pour héberger des demandeurs d'asile ou des personnes en situation précaire, cela signifie une perte pour les municipalités ou les intercommunalités qui, en dehors de ces dispositifs, pourraient accueillir des personnes éligibles à payer la taxe de séjour. Il lui demande donc si le Gouvernement envisage de modifier et adapter les dispositifs pour trouver une solution qui permette aux collectivités de recevoir des entrées fiscales en relation avec les coûts préexistants que signifie l'hôtellerie.

Stand zum EU-Umverteilungsmechanismus für Flüchtlinge

Germany · German Bundestag · 5 April 2019

Originaltext der Frage(n): Welche Verantwortung trägt die Bundesregierung dafür, dass es bislang noch nicht zu einer Verständigung über einen Ad-hoc-Mechanismus zur Umverteilung aus Seenot geretteter Flüchtlinge gekommen ist, indem sie nur bereit ist, Asylsuchende mit einer &bdquo;guten Bleibeperspektive“ zu übernehmen (vgl. z. B. Sitzung des Innenausschusses des Deutschen Bundestages vom 20. Februar 2019, Tagesordnungspunkt 5a), was nach meiner Auffassung bedeutet, dass ein bedeutender Teil der Geretteten im Erstanlande-Mitgliedstaat verbleiben würde (bitte ausführlich mit Bezug zum aktuellen Verhandlungsstand beantworten), und inwieweit ist die Bundeskanzlerin vor dem Hintergrund der erneuten Probleme, aus Seenot Gerettete an Land zu bringen (vgl. https://sea-eye.org/alan-kurdi-sucht-einen-sicheren-hafen/), bereit, auf die Forderungen von weit mehr als 250 zivilgesellschaftlichen Organisationen einzugehen (Brief vom 3. April 2019 an die Bundeskanzlerin mit den Forderungen: Notfallplan für Bootsflüchtlinge, Ermöglichung zusätzlicher Aufnahme durch offene Städte, keine Rückschiebungen nach Libyen, bitte begründen)?
