Question 22676 — eau et assainissement

France · National Assembly · 8 October 2019

M. Loïc Prud'homme interroge M. le ministre de l'agriculture et de l'alimentation sur les conditions de l'accès à la ressource en eau suite à la période de sécheresse traversée par le pays. Au 30 août 2019, 89 départements connaissaient des mesures de restriction d'eau et plusieurs zones sont actuellement alimentées par camions citernes. Le bureau des recherches géologiques et minières signale que depuis juillet 2019 les nappes sont descendues à un niveau « modérément bas » et les mesures du « dispositif Onde » de l'Agence française de la biodiversité signalent plusieurs cours d'eau en état d'assec, quatre sont comptabilisés sur le seul département de la Gironde en août 2019. Cette pénurie dans l'accès à l'eau est bien sûr la conséquence des périodes de sécheresses successives traversées par le pays cette année mais aussi d'un conflit autour de l'usage de l'eau. Sur le bassin d'Adour-Garonne, 70 % des prélèvements estivaux sont en effet effectués pour l'irrigation des terres agricoles. L'agriculture intensive préempte ainsi l'usage de l'eau au détriment des autres usages. Cette situation est rendue possible par la multiplication des retenues d'eau qui ont des conséquences dramatiques sur l'étiage des cours d'eau et sur l'ensemble de l'écosystème des bassins. Une étude publiée en 2018 dans le Journal of Geophysical Research montre en effet que ces aménagements humains pourront certes réduire la sécheresse agricole de 10 % mais conduiront à une augmentation de l'intensité des sécheresses sur l'ensemble des bassins à hauteur de 50 %. Cette situation de crise sera amenée à se répéter et à s'amplifier du fait des conséquences du changement climatique dans les années à venir si l'agriculture irriguée ne se réoriente pas vers un modèle moins gourmand en eau. Il lui demande ainsi quelles mesures de court et moyen termes il entend prendre pour garantir à toutes et à tous un égal accès à la ressource en eau et l'accompagnement de l'agriculture française vers des pratiques de sobriété en eau.

Question 22674 — développement durable

France · National Assembly · 8 October 2019

Mme Jennifer De Temmerman appelle l'attention de M. le Premier ministre sur la mise en œuvre de l'Agenda 2030 et l'implication du Gouvernement et de l'ensemble des politiques publiques françaises pour contribuer à l'atteinte des objectifs de développement durable (ODD). Les objectifs de développement durable (ODD) adopté en 2015 par l'ensemble des États de ONU définissent 17 priorités pour un développement socialement équitable, d'un point de vue environnemental, économiquement prospère, inclusif et prévisible à horizon 2030. Les ODD ont de nombreux atouts : un cap chiffré, un agenda universel, un cadre holistique, un langage commun nécessaire à la réalisation des partenariats, clé de voûte des ODD, notamment formalisé par l'ODD N° 17. Tout le monde est concerné par les ODD. Chaque acteur a des impacts positifs comme négatifs sur la réalisation de ceux-ci et a un rôle à jouer pour assurer la réussite de l'Agenda 2030. L'ensemble des acteurs politiques, académiques, économiques et de la société civile sont appelés à se mobiliser sur les ODD dans leurs sphères de compétences. Chaque citoyen est également appelé à participer à l'agenda 2030 en adoptant des éco-gestes au quotidien et en modifiant ses comportements. La société a montré à plusieurs reprises qu'elle était prête à faire ce changement. Le Gouvernement doit donc naturellement suivre, ce qui est prévu avec l'acte II du quinquennat. De nombreux États signataires de l'Agenda 2030 ont pris des mesures concrètes pour la mise en œuvre des ODD sur leur territoire. Certains États comme la Norvège ou le Mexique ont été jusqu'à aligner leur budget sur les ODD. D'autres, notamment dans les pays en développement, font du respect des ODD des critères décisifs d'attributions des marchés publics. Afin d'atteindre les ODD tout en relevant les défis nationaux, la France a décidé de se doter d'une feuille de route qui devait voir le jour au plus tard en juillet 2019, aujourd'hui repoussé en septembre 2019, pour le sommet des ODD, à l'occasion de l'anniversaire de l'adoption de l'Agenda 2030. Celle-ci a vocation à définir les enjeux prioritaires et la trajectoire de mise en œuvre du développement durable par la France, tout en mobilisant des leviers d'action concrets et en engageant l'ensemble des acteurs français. Il est essentiel de communiquer sur les ODD et de donner envie d'y contribuer en explicitant les opportunités qu'ils représentent. Dans cette perspective, elle souhaite savoir quelles sont les actions de sensibilisations et de valorisations des initiatives des ODD soutenues par l'État et quelles mesures le Gouvernement s'engage à prendre pour respecter la feuille de route.

Question 22671 — cycles et motocycles

France · National Assembly · 8 October 2019

M. Jérôme Lambert interroge Mme la ministre de la transition écologique et solidaire sur l'homologation des deux-roues motorisés modifiés. La législation française ne permet aucune transformation qui soit de nature à modifier le type mine du véhicule, seules les pièces d'origines sont acceptées. Un artisan allemand qui travaille en Allemagne sur la modification d'une moto achetée en Allemagne peut la revendre en Allemagne mais aussi en France. Un artisan français qui travaille en France sur la modification d'une moto achetée en France peut la revendre dans les pays voisins mais n'a pas la possibilité de la vendre en France. Cette règle empêche le développement dans le pays de tous les acteurs et tous les artisans de la « custom » culture. Pour éviter l'accroissement des importations de ces motos, il convient de fixer un cadre légal pour les motos modifiées avec la mise en place par la France d'une autorisation, sur le modèle TÜV allemand et une harmonisation européenne sur les pièces détachées aux normes CE/TÜV afin qu'elles puissent être utilisées sur toutes les motos. Par ailleurs, il conviendrait de mettre en place une procédure simplifiée, accélérée et peu coûteuse en partenariat avec la Fédération française des véhicules modifiés (FFVM) pour l'homologation des deux-roues motorisés modifiés, en respectant les caractéristiques et impératifs de sécurité et d'environnement. Cette évolution nécessite la création d'un registre national des véhicules modifiés (RNVM) permettant de délivrer la carte grise dite « Moto modifiée ». Il lui demande quelle est la position du Gouvernement sur cette question.

Question 22659 — climat

France · National Assembly · 8 October 2019

Mme Laurence Vanceunebrock-Mialon interroge Mme la secrétaire d'État, auprès de la ministre de la transition écologique et solidaire, sur les nombreux courriels envoyés chaque jour et qui émettent une forte quantité de CO2 dans l'atmosphère. En effet, 300 milliards de ces messages sont reçus et envoyés chaque jour dans le monde, générant pour chacun une émission de 20g de CO2. De plus, environ 90 % des courriels envoyés ne sont jamais lus et sont stockés dans les boîtes de réception des internautes, ce qui engendre une émission de 10g de CO2 par année de stockage. Ce qui vient donc s'ajouter au 20g déjà émis lors de l'envoi du message. Après leur envoi ces courriels sont stockés dans des data centers , qui représentent 10 % de la consommation d'électricité française, et 2 % de la consommation mondiale, soit autant que l'aviation civile. Or il existe des alternatives, permettant notamment de transférer des fichiers en limitant leur durée de stockage à seulement quelques jours. Les recherches internet sont aussi de grands fléaux pour l'environnement, en effet une recherche unique émet environ 7g de CO2. Si cela peut paraître minime à l'échelle individuelle, en France, tous les ans, chacun des 47,5 millions d'internautes effectue environ 1 000 recherches sur le web , ce qui équivaut à environ 287 600 tonnes de CO2 émis dans l'atmosphère, soit 1,5 millions de kilomètres parcourus en voiture. Elle souhaiterait donc savoir ce que le ministère envisage en réponse à ce problème environnemental, que ce soit en termes de mesures prises directement dans les administrations ou de sensibilisation de l'ensemble de la population.

Question 22643 — agriculture

France · National Assembly · 8 October 2019

Mme Annie Chapelier attire l'attention de M. le ministre de l'agriculture et de l'alimentation sur la baisse, annoncée dans le projet de loi finances pour 2020, du financement des chambres d'agriculture et les conséquences que cette baisse aura sur leurs missions. En effet, le Gouvernement souhaite la signature d'un contrat d'objectifs avec les chambres d'agriculture mais envisage, en même temps, de réduire les moyens mis à leur disposition en diminuant de 15 % la taxe additionnelle sur le foncier non bâti, taxe qui leur rapporte 292 millions d'euros et représente près de 40 % de leur budget. Or la moitié de la TFNB est supportée par les 450 000 exploitants français, l'autre moitié par les propriétaires fonciers. L'application de la mesure correspondrait à une baisse moyenne de 50 euros de charges par exploitant. Ce qui représente une économie insignifiante au vu des conséquences engendrées sur les services apportés à l'ensemble des exploitants. À l'heure actuelle, les chambres d'agriculture bénéficient de missions spécifiques et d'un champ d'actions particulier qui rendent incohérente la comparaison avec les autres organismes consulaires. En effet, au-delà de leur rôle de conseil et d'accompagnement, elles participent activement à la mise en œuvre de priorités initiées par le Gouvernement que ce soit dans le domaine de l'aménagement du territoire, la lutte contre le changement climatique, la sécurité alimentaire du pays ou la gestion des ressources en eau. Les chambres d'agriculture ont mis en place un projet 2019-2024 basé sur trois axes principaux : accompagner l'agriculture dans ses transitions économiques sociétales et environnementales ; créer plus de valeur dans les territoires via des projets territoriaux associant les agriculteurs, les collectivités et la société civile (gestion de l'eau, du foncier, la conversion en bio) ; restaurer le dialogue entre la société et l'agriculture. Diverses actions ont été définies par les chambres d'agriculture : repérer et rencontrer les 160 000 agriculteurs susceptibles de transmettre leur exploitation et ainsi préparer l'installation d'un nouvel agriculteur ; proposer d'ici fin 2023 à chaque agriculteur un conseil stratégique via un audit individuel ; d'ici deux ans, rencontrer toutes les intercommunalités et convenir de la bonne relation de service ; accompagner 50 % des agriculteurs bio (avant, pendant et après leur conversion). Les chambres d'agriculture, pour mettre en œuvre ce projet ambitieux, aspirent à avoir les moyens budgétaires correspondants. Les efforts financiers et organisationnels sont déjà effectués, notamment dans le cadre de restructurations du personnel, comme cela a été le cas par la chambre d'agriculture du Gard. Aussi, elle souhaiterait connaître les dispositions que le Gouvernement envisage pour pallier cette réduction de moyens financiers et la stratégie qu'il compte mettre en place pour aider les chambres d'agriculture dans leur projet.
