Question 4447 — lieux de privation de liberté

France · National Assembly · 31 August 2018

M. Gabriel Serville alerte Mme la garde des sceaux, ministre de la justice, sur l'évasion dans la nuit de la Saint-Sylvestre de trois détenus de la prison de Rémire-Monjoly dont deux purgeant des peines de 10 ans de réclusion pour meurtre. Cette évasion met une fois de plus en lumière les graves difficultés auxquelles est confronté le centre et les dysfonctionnements inadmissibles qui en découlent. Pourtant, la situation de la prison qui cumule surpopulation carcérale, sous-effectif, vétusté des bâtiments et un niveau sans commune mesure de violence entre détenus est connue de tous depuis longtemps. Il en a lui-même alerté les différents ministres de la justice par des questions écrites publiées au Journal officiel les 23/09/2014, 02/06/2015, 23/06/2016, 11/10/2016 et plus récemment le 01/8/2017, ainsi que lors de la séance de questions au Gouvernement du 06/06/2016. Force est de constater qu'à ce jour, la situation ne s'est toujours pas améliorée. C'est pourquoi il lui demande de bien vouloir l'informer des mesures, notamment budgétaires au titre du PLF 2018, qui sont actuellement mises en œuvre en faveur de cette prison et qui sont de nature à rassurer la population qui craint désormais pour sa sécurité.

Question 4442 — industrie

France · National Assembly · 31 August 2018

M. José Evrard interroge M. le ministre de l'Europe et des affaires étrangères concernant les résultats des élections législatives allemandes. Les difficultés que rencontre l'Allemagne pour la formation de son gouvernement tiennent de la perte d'influence de la CDU-CSU et de l'écroulement du SPD au profit d'autres partis comme les libéraux du FDP et l'AFD. Les décisions de la chancelière concernant l'immigration ont pesé dans le choix des électeurs, mais ses décisions concernant l'industrie ont pesé tout autant bien qu'il n'en soit jamais fait mention dans les médias français. La décision d'abandonner la production électrique nucléaire a ainsi doublement compté. Elle a permis la relance d'un mouvement écologiste à bout de souffle qui a fait de la construction de centrales thermiques charbon-lignite polluantes son cheval de bataille. D'autre part, les industriels du secteur, dont Siemens qui souhaita un moment acquérir le nucléaire Alstom, se sont vus imposer d'abandonner des productions. L'industrie allemande, qui fait la richesse de ce pays, va, à n'en pas douter, influencer le futur gouvernement. Il lui demande quelles conséquences peut-on envisager pour l'industrie française de la situation politique allemande et lui demande quelles mesures de coopération le Gouvernement envisage d'organiser avec les partenaires industriels allemands.

Question 4403 — automobiles

France · National Assembly · 31 August 2018

M. José Evrard interroge M. le ministre de l'économie et des finances concernant l'annonce du ministre de l'écologie de « la fin de la vente des voitures à essence et diesel d'ici 2040 ». La fin de la vente des voitures à essence et diesel signifie si les mots ont un sens la fin de la fabrication des moteurs thermiques classiques et le choix du véhicule « tout électrique ». Sans aborder les questions techniques que soulèvent cette décision, n'y a-t-il pas le risque de voir la France disparaître des pays constructeurs de véhicules ? Si M. le député en juge par les informations communiquées par des cabinets d'expertise à l'horizon concevable de 2030, neuf véhicules sur dix seront équipes de moteur thermique. La voiture « tout électrique » de M. Hulot tient donc de la niche commerciale. À n'en pas douter, les deux constructeurs français de taille mondiale vont trouver là une raison supplémentaire de transférer leur fabrication à l’étranger. La fabrication française de voitures a fait ses preuves. Grand pourvoyeur de main-d'œuvre, elle alimente toute l'économie, la décision d'imposer un modèle de véhicule virtuel est-il de la responsabilité du Gouvernement ? Il lui demande suite à l'annonce du ministre de l'écologie de « la fin de la vente des voitures à essence et diesel d'ici 2040 », ce qu'il compte entreprendre pour sécuriser les travailleurs de ce secteur quant à leur avenir.

Question 8123 — bois et forêts

France · National Assembly · 4 August 2018

Mme Fabienne Colboc appelle l'attention de M. le ministre de l'agriculture et de l'alimentation sur la situation de l'industrie du parquet français. Entre 2007 et 2012, cette industrie a perdu 50 % de son chiffre d'affaires et 50 % de ses salariés. En effet, cette industrie est confrontée à une difficulté d'accès à la matière première, le chêne. Une exportation toujours plus importante du bois met l'avenir de l'industrie du parquet français en danger, les producteurs français n'arrivant plus à s'approvisionner suffisamment en matières premières traitées en France. Les grumes françaises approvisionnent les producteurs de parquet étrangers, notamment chinois, qui ont un avantage de gains de productivité sur le travail de la matière, dû en partie à des salaires très bas. Ainsi, elle le sollicite afin de savoir quelles mesures vont être envisagées pour préserver cette filière économique française.

Question 8108 — agriculture

France · National Assembly · 4 August 2018

Mme Sandrine Josso interroge M. le ministre d'État, ministre de la transition écologique et solidaire, sur l'avancée de la mise en place du mécanisme de soutien financier à la méthanisation, annoncé à hauteur de 100 millions d'euros par le Président de la République le 22 février 2018 devant les jeunes agriculteurs. En effet, alors que la France souhaite pleinement encourager le développement des énergies renouvelables et arriver à un mix énergétique 100 % renouvelable en 2050, le financement des unités de méthanisation reste un frein important à leur développement. Les apports en fonds propres des porteurs de projet, en grande partie issus du milieu agricole, sont faibles d'une part et les banques réticentes à s'engager au regard de risques financiers envisagés d'autre part. La mise en place, par la BPI, de prêts sans sûreté adossés à un fonds de garantie abondé à hauteur de 100 millions d'euros permettrait l'octroi de 300 à 400 millions d'euros de prêts qui génèreraient 1,5 à 2 milliards d'euros de financement de projet. Ce mécanisme est d'autant plus justifié et attendu que la méthanisation contribue pleinement aux objectifs de transition énergétique pour la croissance verte et se situe à la croisée de différents enjeux : climat, autonomie énergétique, gestion des déchets et l'agriculture. Le groupe de travail lancé par le secrétaire d'État auprès du ministre d'État, ministre de la transition écologique et solidaire, M. Sébastien Lecornu, a pointé lors de ses conclusions les nombreux avantages à un développement massif de la méthanisation : la diminution de la quantité de déchets organiques à traiter par d'autres filières, la diminution des émissions de gaz à effet de serre par substitution à l'usage d'énergies fossiles ou d'engrais chimiques, le traitement possible des déchets organiques graisseux ou très humides... Il est aujourd'hui considéré que les agriculteurs, pour qui la méthanisation représente un complément de revenus d'intérêt, doivent être en première ligne pour atteindre les objectifs fixés par la dernière Programmation pluriannuelle de l'énergie. Les annonces du Président de la République portent l'ambition du Gouvernement de développer la montée en puissance des gaz verts et plus particulièrement l'injection de biométhane dans les réseaux qui nécessitent l'allocation de réels moyens financiers. Elle souhaite donc connaître le calendrier de mise en place de ce fonds et ses modalités de mise en œuvre.
