Question 24422 — politique extérieure

France · National Assembly · 10 December 2019

M. Sébastien Nadot alerte M. le ministre de l'Europe et des affaires étrangères sur la situation de Ramy Shaath, défenseur des droits humains, prisonnier politique en Égypte. Arrêté le 5 juillet 2019 au milieu de la nuit par la police égyptienne, il est depuis détenu en prison dans des conditions difficiles, tandis que sa femme, citoyenne française, a été expulsée vers la France sans même avoir pu bénéficier des services consulaires français sur place en Égypte. La dégradation des droits humains en Égypte est inquiétante à bien des égards. M. le ministre a affirmé à plusieurs reprises qu'une relation privilégiée existait entre l'Égypte et la France. Si tel est bien le cas, comme à un ami, il faut pouvoir lui dire ce qu'il lui est difficile d'entendre, notamment sur la légitimité de cette détention. Aussi, il lui demande s'il peut utiliser toute son énergie et son savoir-faire diplomatique pour favoriser la libération inconditionnelle de Ramy Shaath et permettre qu'il retrouve au plus vite son épouse.

Question 24398 — justice

France · National Assembly · 10 December 2019

M. Dimitri Houbron interroge Mme la garde des sceaux, ministre de la justice, sur la place accordée aux algorithmes dans le secteur juridique, notamment sur la fonction « prédictive » de ces outils. Il rappelle que certains pays membres de l'Organisation de coopération et de développement économiques (OCDE), tels que la Finlande ou les États-Unis, ont de plus en plus recours à des algorithmes dans leurs systèmes de justice. Il cite, à titre d'exemple, le logiciel américain COMPAS, mesurant le risque de récidive des prévenus, qui s'est révélé peu précis et peu efficace. Il en déduit qu'il est fondamental que les professionnels du secteur et l'État se saisissent du sujet de l'intelligence artificielle (IA) dans la justice et définissent les usages qu'ils veulent en faire afin d'éviter l'avènement d'une justice expéditive et déshumanisée. Il rappelle que les outils d'IA sont dénommés, à tort, « justice prédictive ». Il précise qu'il s'agit, en réalité, de statistiques sur des décisions de justice qui peuvent faciliter la compréhension des professionnels du droit pour orienter une stratégie. Il en déduit que l'IA ne représente qu'une aide qui complète, et non remplace, l'intelligence humaine dans le processus de décision. Il rappelle les propos d'un ancien vice-président du Conseil d'État qui déclarait que bien que les algorithmes dans le droit constituent « une opportunité », il est nécessaire de les utiliser « en sachant faire preuve d'une grande vigilance sur l'intangibilité d'une justice indépendante, impartiale, transparente, humaine et équilibrée » afin de garantir à tous les citoyens un égal accès à la force du droit. Il note que le secteur juridique privé français gagnerait à établir des bonnes pratiques et à respecter une certaine déontologie en matière de transparence des outils. Il cite, à titre d'exemple, des éditeurs juridiques privés qui ont déjà créé des algorithmes sans boîtes noires en France. Il lui demande donc de clarifier la position du Gouvernement sur le développement de l'IA dans le secteur du droit et de la justice, et sur la possibilité de travailler avec les « legaltech » à la mise en place d'une certification qui permettrait le déploiement raisonné et éthique de ces solutions d'IA.

Question 24367 — enseignement secondaire

France · National Assembly · 10 December 2019

Mme Clémentine Autain attire l'attention de M. le ministre de l'éducation nationale et de la jeunesse sur la situation du collège René Descartes à Tremblay en France. Depuis la rentrée 2019, ce collège ne dispose que d'un poste de CPE (contre 1,5 en 2018), il n'y a pas d'assistant social, et la seule infirmière présente ne l'est que deux jours sur cinq. La communauté éducative tire depuis quelques semaines la sonnette d'alarme pour alerter sur les dégradations du climat scolaire, liées à un manque d'encadrement et à un suivi beaucoup moins individualisé des élèves de l'établissement. Cette situation crée des dysfonctionnements qui mettent en danger les élèves ainsi que les personnels. Il y a quelques semaines, un enfant tombé dans les escaliers est rentré chez lui sans faire d'examen médical car il n'y avait dans le collège ni infirmière ni CPE. Après examen, il s'est avéré qu'il avait une fracture du bras. Par ailleurs, Mme la députée précise que le collège René Descartes a été sorti en 2014 de la carte REP alors qu'il aurait visiblement dû rester dans le dispositif. La refonte de la carte de l'éducation prioritaire, très attendue par la communauté éducative, ne cesse aujourd'hui d'être reportée. Elle tient donc à interpeller M. le ministre sur l'avenir de la carte REP, alors que la sortie du rapport Azéma-Mathiot invite l'État à se désengager en délégant à chaque rectorat l'allocation de moyens supplémentaires aux établissements. Elle attire enfin l'attention de M. le ministre sur les attentes de la communauté éducative et des parents d'élèves du collège René Descartes. Le refus du rectorat de les recevoir le mardi 5 novembre 2019 et leur renvoi vers la direction des services départementaux de l'éducation nationale qui les avaient déjà reçus est le signe d'une communication abîmée. Alors que le Gouvernement a récemment reconnu le défaut d'égalité dont était victime le département de la Seine-Saint-Denis, et que l'éducation est l'un des secteurs les plus fragiles du département, il devient urgent de revaloriser le dialogue et les conditions de travail des différents personnels de la communauté éducative. Elle lui demande quelle est la position du Gouvernement sur ces questions.

Question 24359 — énergie et carburants

France · National Assembly · 10 December 2019

Mme Gisèle Biémouret appelle l'attention de Mme la secrétaire d'État, auprès de la ministre de la transition écologique et solidaire, sur le projet de réhabilitation des friches en faveur du développement d'énergies renouvelables. Selon une étude de l'Ademe, leur potentiel est particulièrement important pour la production d'énergie photovoltaïque. Le ministère a donc lancé un groupe de travail afin d'identifier et lever les freins à l'utilisation de ces zones délaissées. Parallèlement lors du Conseil de défense écologique, le Président de la République avait demandé la réalisation d'un inventaire du gisement des friches par département afin d'évaluer le potentiel de développement d'énergies renouvelables sur ces terrains. Les dernières informations estiment ce gisement à au moins 2 400 sites. Dans ces conditions, elle lui demande de bien vouloir lui indiquer l'état d'avancement du travail du groupe de travail et les résultats de cet inventaire effectué pour le département du Gers.

Question 24358 — énergie et carburants

France · National Assembly · 10 December 2019

M. Sébastien Cazenove appelle l'attention de Mme la ministre de la transition écologique et solidaire sur le développement du réseau des infrastructures de recharge pour les véhicules électriques. En lien avec les objectifs du Plan Climat, et en cohérence avec les mesures pour la transition vers des véhicules propres, l'électromobilité connaît depuis 2017 une croissance importante du maillage de points de charge publics, en ligne avec les objectifs de 55 000 à 65 000 bornes installées d'ici à 2020 et de 100 000 bornes en 2022. Toutefois, les constructeurs proposent des modèles de véhicules avec des types de prises différentes (1, 2, 3 ou 4) et contraignant parfois le conducteur d'un véhicule électrique à rechercher une zone de recharge en fonction du type de prises correspondant à sa voiture électrique. Ainsi, ces inconvénients peuvent constituer un frein à l'achat d'un véhicule électrique. Aussi, il souhaiterait savoir comment sont identifiés les besoins d'infrastructures au niveau territorial, quels dispositifs le Gouvernement envisage de mettre en œuvre pour aider les collectivités locales et les inciter au déploiement des infrastructures de recharge et enfin si le Gouvernement entend agir afin de standardiser les prises de recharge.

Question 24351 — défense

France · National Assembly · 10 December 2019

M. Sébastien Nadot interroge Mme la ministre des armées sur les mesures prises pour protéger la sécurité des Françaises et des Français face au risque environnemental et climatique. En 2007, le prix Nobel de la paix a été attribué à deux symboles du combat contre le réchauffement planétaire : le Groupe d'experts intergouvernemental sur l'évolution du climat (GIEC) et l'ancien vice-président américain Al Gore. La lutte contre le réchauffement peut ainsi être considérée comme une œuvre de paix. Lors de la COP21, le ministre des affaires étrangères Laurent Fabius affirmait « le dérèglement climatique favorisera de plus en plus les conflits violents dans les pays en développement. La détérioration du climat aggrave les crises humanitaires majeures, intensifie la violence et favorise la propagation des conflits dans certaines régions ». De la maîtrise du réchauffement climatique semblent dépendre bien des situations de paix ou de guerre pour les générations à venir. Plus récemment encore, l'ex-ministre de l'environnement Nicolas Hulot a déclaré : « sur le réchauffement climatique, nous sommes en guerre ! ». La Revue stratégique 2017 indiquait que « les menaces et les risques identifiés dans le Livre blanc de 2013 se sont manifestés plus rapidement et avec une intensité plus forte qu'anticipée ». Le livre blanc de 2013 ne faisait guère état des questions de sécurité relatives aux problématiques environnementales. Sécheresse, approvisionnement en eau, épidémies, appauvrissement des sols, migrations ne peuvent pourtant aujourd'hui être ignorés. Et l'urgence écologique pourrait également se manifester concrètement comme menace plus vite que prévu. Or la loi de programmation militaire (LPM) pour 2019-2025 ne semble pas en tenir compte. Des capacités nouvelles y sont bien prévues pour faire face aux menaces croissantes dans le cyberespace et dans l'espace exo-atmosphérique. Mais rien pour faire face au danger climatique et environnemental. En dehors des satellites d'observation et éventuellement des avions de transport militaire, aucun équipement ne figure dans la programmation de la LPM qui pourrait servir à protéger des risques environnementaux majeurs ou à intervenir en cas de force majeure. Il lui demande si cela signifie que le changement climatique et environnemental ne présente aucun danger pour les Françaises et les Français ou bien qu'aucun matériel ni dispositions spécifiques ne sont nécessaires pour y faire face d'ici 2025.

Question 24338 — bois et forêts

France · National Assembly · 10 December 2019

Mme Marion Lenne attire l'attention de Mme la ministre de la transition écologique et solidaire sur la gestion des forêts communales pour l'Office nationale des forêts et principalement sur la délégation des communes à cet office. Interpellée par des élus communaux de sa circonscription, il semble que l'Office national des forêts ponctionne des frais et des participations sur les budgets communaux sans que les communes ne puissent avoir quelque avis à donner. Ainsi, elle l'interroge sur les règles en matière de participation pour les communes forestières envers l'Office national des forêts et sur le devenir de cet office qui est sous le contrôle de l'État.
