Question 3857 — transports ferroviaires

France · National Assembly · 11 December 2017

M. Pierre Dharréville attire l'attention de Mme la ministre, auprès du ministre d'État, ministre de la transition écologique et solidaire, chargée des transports, sur la ligne nouvelle Provence-Côte d'Azur (LNPCA). Les enjeux de mobilité sont prédominants dans la société. En Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur, cette préoccupation est d'autant plus prégnante que la population se concentre à 80 % sur le littoral méditerranéen. Actuellement, sept millions de déplacements sont effectués quotidiennement dans les Bouches-du-Rhône, le Var et les Alpes-Maritimes. Dans la majorité des cas (6 déplacements sur 10), la voiture est le moyen de transport utilisé, ce qui engendre de nombreux embouteillages et la saturation du trafic. Si rien n'est fait, la situation ne va pas s'améliorer puisqu'à l'horizon 2025, les besoins de déplacements risquent d'augmenter de 15 %. C'est une priorité majeure auquel il est urgent d'apporter une réponse. La construction d'une ligne TGV reliant Marseille à Nice avait été actée en 2001. Or celle-ci n’a jamais vu le jour. En conséquence, les lignes ferroviaires étant insuffisantes, les transports par route sont saturés. Elles ne permettent pas de desservir confortablement et durablement les villes du littoral méditerranéen. Malgré les modernisations réalisées et l'augmentation du nombre de TER passant ainsi de 250 par jour à 600 par jour entre 1998 et 2015, cette progression ne suffit plus à réduire les encombrements de circulation. Par conséquent, c'est la route qui malheureusement devient le moyen de transport le plus fréquemment utilisé. Cette situation porte atteinte à la sécurité, à l'environnement et à la santé des habitants. La région Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur est actuellement desservie par une seule ligne ferroviaire côtière épousant un relief difficile, limitant ainsi la vitesse autorisée. Il devient donc urgent de réaliser une deuxième ligne ferroviaire. La ligne nouvelle Provence-Côte d'Azur reliant Marseille à Nice doit être réalisée au plus vite. Diverses décisions ministérielles depuis 2013, ont validé les différentes étapes de la construction de cette ligne. Celle-ci doit permettre un maillage performant et intelligent avec les TER pour une meilleure desserte de l'ensemble des villes littorales. Elle sera également un outil qui améliorera la rapidité de transport. La LNPCA sera décisive pour désenclaver les villes du littoral de la région Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur avec un gain de temps entre Marseille et Nice. L'objectif est également d'assurer un report modal de l'avion et la route vers le train, afin de diminuer la congestion et la pollution chronique. La construction de cette ligne répond par ailleurs aux enjeux de la COP 21, qui a conclu à l'urgence de revenir à des transports propres. L'instruction d'une déclaration d'utilité publique de la première phase le plus rapidement possible devrait permettre une mise en service avant 2030. Si l'État ne consacrait pas les moyens nécessaires à la réalisation de cette ligne, les conséquences seraient catastrophiques pour la population du territoire en termes de mobilité et de santé publique. La LNPCA est un enjeu d'intérêt général. L'argent pour financer cette ligne nouvelle existe. Deux ans jour pour jour après la conclusion de l'accord de Paris, à la COP21, le Président de la République Emmanuel Macron a annoncé un point d'étape qui permettra de « prendre de nouvelles actions pour le climat, notamment sur le plan financier ». Ce point d'étape visera à « mobiliser les financements privés et publics » promis lors de la conférence des Nations unies de décembre 2015 et à « identifier les projets » devant être soutenus, a précisé le chef de l'État. La construction de la ligne nouvelle devra faire partie des financements publics soutenus par l'État. Il aimerait connaître les intentions financières du Gouvernement pour la construction de cette ligne nouvelle.

Question 3794 — politique extérieure

France · National Assembly · 11 December 2017

M. Buon Tan appelle l'attention de M. le ministre de l'Europe et des affaires étrangères sur la détérioration de la situation politique au Cambodge. Il y a 26 ans, presque jour pour jour, les accords de Paris sur le Cambodge mettaient un terme à la guerre civile qui frappait le pays depuis trois décennies, causant au moins 2 millions de morts. Ces accords, dont la France est garante, amorçaient une nouvelle ère pour le Cambodge et représentaient l'espoir d'une véritable démocratie. Aujourd'hui, les milliers de Français d'origine cambodgienne vivant en France s'interrogent sur la réalité de cet engagement. Les mesures coercitives mises en place depuis plusieurs mois par le gouvernement du Premier ministre Hun Sen portent un coup d'arrêt au processus de démocratisation du pays. L'exil forcé de M. Sam Rainsy, leader du parti d'opposition, puis l'emprisonnement de son successeur M. Kem Sokha, ne sont pas acceptables dans un État de droit. Les observateurs internationaux présents sur place soulignent également la dissolution forcée d'associations locales de protection des droits de l'Homme et la suppression de journaux et stations de radios indépendants. Ainsi, il l'interpelle sur les propositions du Quai d'Orsay pour relancer le processus de démocratisation du pays et défendre l'État de droit et les droits humains au Cambodge.

Question 3731 — État

France · National Assembly · 11 December 2017

M. Joël Giraud appelle l'attention de M. le ministre d'État, ministre de la transition écologique et solidaire, sur la programmation des investissements publics réalisés au bénéfice de Météo-France, opérateur de premier plan dans la connaissance du climat, la transmission des informations et la sensibilisation du public aux effets du dérèglement climatique. En effet, outre la baisse continue du financement direct de l'État (- 2 % en 2018), il est à noter que le montant de la subvention pour charges de service public dont bénéficie l'opérateur ne couvre pas l'ensemble de ses dépenses de personnels. Pour mémoire, en 2017, 76 % des charges liées à la masse salariale étaient couvertes par ladite subvention. Par ailleurs, la moitié du financement de l'opérateur est extérieure à l'État et dépend de facteurs exogènes (redevances de navigation aérienne, recettes générées par l'activité commerciale de l'opérateur en baisse constante du fait de la pression concurrentielle). Pour disposer d'outils technologiques compétitifs et particulièrement d'un supercalculateur performant, Météo-France doit assurer de lourds investissements annuels et réduire dans un contexte de restructuration qui pousse les effectifs à un seuil critique, ses dépenses. Dans ce contexte, il lui demande les garanties que le ministère d'État compte apporter sur cet investissement dans l'augmentation de la puissance de calcul du nouveau supercalculateur dont il a été démontré par le Commissariat général à l'investissement que le rapport d'investissement est de 1 à 12 (12 fois plus de bénéfices économiques). Cet investissement est de surcroît nécessaire pour assurer les missions de sécurité assignées à Météo-France par la COP.

Question 3687 — commerce extérieur

France · National Assembly · 11 December 2017

Mme Christine Pires Beaune attire l'attention de M. le ministre de l'agriculture et de l'alimentation sur les accords entre l'Union européenne, le Canada et le Mercosur. Malgré l'absence de ratification par les Parlements nationaux du CETA, sa mise en application est particulièrement alarmante pour les filières d'élevage et en particulier la filière bovine française. Car le volet agricole du texte d'accord ne comporte aucune réelle garantie quant au respect des normes européennes ou de la qualité des productions. L'ouverture du marché européen, sans droits de douanes, à 65 000 tonnes de viandes bovines canadiennes produites au sein de feedlots en est l'exemple le plus frappant. Ces négociations et la conclusion de ce traité vient ainsi impacter directement l'ensemble des éleveurs du Puy-de-Dôme. Ainsi, personne n'a pu à ce jour démontrer l'intérêt pour les Européens de disposer de viande bovine canadienne, transitant sur des milliers de kilomètres et aux normes environnementales et de qualité bien inférieures, alors que les productions communautaires et locales, à l'instar du charolais, sont reconnues. Aussi, elle lui demande, au regard de la gravité désormais reconnue des conséquences du CETA pour le secteur agricole, s'il compte au final refuser la signature de cet accord et pour le Mercosur, si le Gouvernement envisage une révision du mandat de négociation de l'accord de l'UE-Mercosur, conformément aux engagements pris par le président de la République à Rungis le 12 octobre 2017.

Question 996 — enseignement secondaire

France · National Assembly · 8 December 2017

M. Michel Castellani alerte M. le ministre de l'éducation nationale sur la situation du collège du Cap Corse. Implanté à Luri, il possède deux forts atouts pédagogiques, une filière d'excellence sportive scolaire judo et l'ouverture de projets éducatifs en lien avec le parc naturel marin du Cap Corse. De plus, la communauté éducative a ouvert des parcelles avec trois écoles primaires de son ressort (Luri, Macinaghju, Centuri), ce qui contribue à son rayonnement. Toutefois, situé au cœur d'une microrégion à faible densité, il s'expose de manière récurrente aux menaces de fermeture du fait des clefs de répartition définies par le ministère. La logique comptable nationale ne peut correspondre aux zones rurales. Poumon de cette microrégion, le collège de Luri demeure un rempart à la désertification du territoire. Il souhaiterait connaître les mesures envisagées par le ministère de l'éducation nationale afin de consolider l'existence du collège du Cap Corse et assurer aux enfants capcorsins un accès à la scolarité sur leur territoire.

National Integrated Drought Information System Reauthorization Act of 2018

United States · United States Congress · 6 December 2017

National Integrated Drought Information System Reauthorization Act of 2018 This bill reauthorizes through FY2023 and modifies the National Integrated Drought Information System (NIDIS) Program. The bill amends the National Integrated Drought Information System Act of 2006 to require, under NIDIS, that the collection and integration of information on the key indicators of drought and drought impacts includes indicators of precipitation, soil moisture, and evaporative demand. NIDIS shall also: provide timely data, information, and products that reflect watershed differences in drought conditions; through interagency agreements, coordinate and integrate future federal research and monitoring in support of a drought early warning information system; utilize existing forecasting and assessment programs and partnerships, including forecast communication coordinators and cooperative institutes, and improvements in seasonal, subseasonal, and low flow water prediction; and continue ongoing research and monitoring activities related to drought, including research activities relating to the prediction of drought. NIDIS may: engage with the private sector to improve drought forecast and communication if the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration determines such partnership is appropriate, cost-effective, and beneficial to the public and the decision-makers specified in the Act; and facilitate the development of one or more academic cooperative partnerships to assist with NIDIS functions. NIDIS shall develop a strategy for a national coordinated soil moisture monitoring network. The bill amends the Food Security Act of 1985 to extend through FY2023 certain activities related to the provision of agricultural and silvicultural weather and climate information.
