Question 1753 — anciens combattants et victimes de guerre

France · National Assembly · 9 October 2017

M. Guy Teissier appelle l'attention de Mme la secrétaire d'État, auprès de la ministre des armées, sur les revendications exprimées par le monde combattant. Ce dernier constate - et regrette - l'absence d'un ministre ou secrétaire d'État dédié spécifiquement aux anciens combattants. Or la défense du droit à réparation et la mission mémorielle ne sont pas en soi une mission du ministère des armées ni du ministère des affaires sociales et nécessitent la mise en place d'un interlocuteur unique. Aussi, à l'occasion de l'examen du projet de loi de finances 2018, le monde combattant, qui participe à la mission mémorielle en s'adressant aux jeunes ainsi qu'à la défense des valeurs républicaines, attend qu'un signal fort lui soit adressé. Il lui demande donc si le Gouvernement envisage le maintien d'un interlocuteur gouvernemental spécifique doté d'un budget, seul en capacité de traiter directement avec le monde combattant.

Question 1752 — aménagement du territoire

France · National Assembly · 9 October 2017

M. Julien Dive alerte Mme la ministre, auprès du ministre d'État, ministre de la transition écologique et solidaire, chargée des transports, sur la situation du projet « Canal Seine Nord Europe ». Le canal Seine Nord Europe relie la Seine à l'Escaut. Il crée une offre alternative aux poids lourds compétitive sur cet axe où les marchandises circulent presque exclusivement par la route. Il permet de développer le débouché fluvial qui bénéficiera à tous les grands ports maritimes et fluviaux de la Seine à l'Escaut. Ses retombées économiques attendues permettent d'envisager 45 000 emplois pérennes entre la Seine et l'Escaut d'ici 2050 en structurant une économie autour d'une infrastructure compétitive les reliant à 20 000 km de réseau à grand gabarit et à la mer à moindre coût. Durant les sept années du grand chantier, il permettra de dynamiser les territoires traversés qui accueilleront 13 000 emplois chaque année. Après plusieurs années d'atermoiements, de mobilisation des différents acteurs financeurs, le 20 avril 2016 le ministère des transports a créé par ordonnances la Société de projet. Ce nouvel établissement public, aura pour mission la réalisation de ce grand projet, il réunit au sein de ses organes de gouvernance, et notamment de son conseil de surveillance, l'ensemble des partenaires financiers du projet, État et collectivités territoriales. Or le début du quinquennat du Gouvernement Philippe vient marquer une pause dans le démarrage du projet, des propres mots du Premier ministre. Refusant l'idée de l'abandon du projet de canal Seine Nord Europe, les élus locaux ont fait des propositions actant une implication accrue des collectivités. Le conseil régional des Hauts-De-France et les départements du Nord, du Pas-de-Calais, de la Somme et de l'Oise, qui mettent déjà un milliard sur les 4,7 milliards nécessaires à la construction du canal, acceptent d'avancer l'argent pour les deux premières années de travaux, pour soulager le budget de l'État. Ils se portent également garants de l'emprunt de 700 millions d'euros, et sont prêts à prendre la responsabilité de l'infrastructure. Inédite dans l'histoire de la Vème République cette démarche est l'illustration très claire de l'importance de ce projet pour l'avenir des territoires. Dans ce contexte, il appartient désormais au Parlement de pouvoir se prononcer et légiférer afin d'assurer le transfert de la gouvernance de la société de projet de l'État vers la région des Hauts-de-France. Il souhaiterait donc connaître son opinion sur le sujet.

Question 1751 — aménagement du territoire

France · National Assembly · 9 October 2017

M. Christophe Lejeune interroge M. le ministre de la cohésion des territoires sur les conséquences de Paris 2024 en termes d'attractivité des territoires ruraux. Les investissements prévus pour la construction de nouvelles infrastructures à Paris et en Seine-Saint-Denis nécessiteront de la main-d'œuvre qualifiée, puisant ainsi dans les ressources des professionnels du BTP. Le coût du projet Paris 2024 est estimé à 6,2 milliards d'euros, un budget serré en trois volets : 3,2 milliards pour l'organisation, 1,7 milliard dédié à la construction d'équipements sportifs, 1,3 milliard lié aux infrastructures non sportives. De plus, les Jeux de Paris conduiraient à la création d'environ 200 000 emplois dans le tourisme et la construction. Les entreprises du BTP présentes dans les territoires ruraux s'inquiètent de l'appel d'air que pourraient créer ces investissements alors même que ces entreprises ont des difficultés à recruter. La faible attractivité structurelle des zones rurales ainsi qu'une formation inadaptée ont pour conséquence une inadéquation entre l'offre et la demande de travail. La question de la fidélisation des salariés se pose également pour ces entreprises n'ayant pas les ressources nécessaires pour aligner les salaires sur ceux proposés par les entreprises de la région parisienne. Dès lors, le basculement de la main-d'œuvre qualifiée des territoires ruraux vers l'Île-de-France pour un projet ponctuel risque de renforcer les difficultés rencontrées par les entreprises du BTP en termes d'emploi et d'attractivité. Il lui demande ce que le Gouvernement compte mettre en œuvre pour éviter le renforcement des inégalités territoriales que pourrait entraîner Paris 2024.

Question 1748 — aide aux victimes

France · National Assembly · 9 October 2017

M. Meyer Habib attire l'attention de Mme la garde des sceaux, ministre de la justice, sur la situation complexe et précaire dans laquelle se trouvent certains Français victimes d'attentats terroristes perpétrés avant le 1er janvier 1982, handicapés à vie. En effet, la loi n° 90-86 du 23 janvier 1990 portant diverses dispositions relatives à la sécurité sociale et à la santé prévoit en son article 26 une indemnisation rétroactive des victimes d'attentats terroristes commis depuis le 1er janvier 1982. Or M. le député est saisi par des Français victimes de l'attentat à la bombe de Jérusalem le 29 juillet 1976, qui ne bénéficient d'aucune reconnaissance et ne jouissent pas de facto des mesures mises en place par l'État français pour indemniser ses ressortissants blessés dans de telles circonstances dramatiques. C'est pourquoi il lui demande quelles sont les mesures alternatives offertes aux ressortissants victimes d'attentats terroristes perpétrés avant le 1er janvier 1982.

United States · United States Congress · 5 October 2017

Department of Veterans Affairs Financial Accountability Act of 2017 This bill expresses the sense of Congress that: (1) the normal Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) budget process should be grounded in sound actuarial analysis based on accurate demand forecasting, (2) the regular VA budget process should be the norm, and (3) supplemental requests for appropriations should be used sparingly and for unforeseen demand or natural occurrences.

The VA shall submit an implementation plan to Congress within 60 days after completion of the review and development. The VA shall appoint one individual within the Office of the VA Secretary to monitor the implementation of third party recommendations. Whenever the VA submits to Congress a request for supplemental appropriations or other appropriation outside the standard budget process the VA shall submit a justification for the request within 45 days before the date that such budgetary issue would affect a program or service. Concurrent with the President's annual budget request to Congress the VA Chief Financial Officer shall submit to Congress: (1) an assurance that budgetary financial projections are sufficient to provide VA benefits and services, and (2) an attestation of collaboration with the financial officers of the concerned facilities and components.

Impeding North Korea's Access to Finance Act of 2017 This bill directs the Department of the Treasury to prohibit a foreign financial institution that knowingly provides significant financial services to a "covered person" from opening or maintaining a correspondent account in the United States. "Covered person" includes any person doing business with North Korea, a North Korean person employed outside North Korea, and any person that knowingly employs a North Korean person outside North Korea. The bill establishes civil and criminal penalties for violations. Treasury must prohibit a U.S.-based financial institution from knowingly engaging in a significant transaction with a covered person. The bill establishes civil penalties for violations. The bill amends the Bretton Woods Agreements Act to direct the United States to oppose international financial assistance for a foreign government that does not implement these sanctions against North Korea. The President may waive this directive after specified steps are taken. The bill amends the Export-Import Bank Act to prohibit the bank from providing support to a covered person. Treasury must report on compliance with this bill among financial institutions, including any penalties imposed and efforts by Treasury to support compliance. The bill amends the International Financial Institutions Act to require Treasury to: (1) instruct the U.S. Executive Director at the International Monetary Fund (IMF) to support the use of the IMF's administrative budget for technical assistance that strengthens the capacity of IMF members to prevent money laundering and the financing of terrorism, and (2) report on the effectiveness of such assistance. The President may suspend or terminate sanctions under this bill if certain steps regarding nonproliferation of weapons of mass destruction are taken by North Korea.
