Question 14290 — industrie

France · National Assembly · 14 April 2026

Mme Véronique Besse attire l'attention de M. le ministre délégué auprès du ministre de l'économie, des finances et de la souveraineté industrielle, énergétique et numérique, chargé de l'industrie, sur les difficultés rencontrées par les PME sous-traitantes de la métallurgie, et notamment celles de Vendée, au regard de la taxe affectée au Centre technique des industries mécaniques (CETIM), collectée par le COREM. Si le principe de mutualisation sectorielle qui fonde cette contribution obligatoire est légitime dans son intention, son application soulève aujourd'hui de réelles questions d'équité. Les actions de recherche et développement financées par cette taxe sont majoritairement conduites en région parisienne et bénéficient en priorité aux grands groupes industriels. Les PME sous-traitantes, souvent éloignées des centres de décision et peu impliquées dans des programmes structurés de R et D, se trouvent néanmoins soumises à cette cotisation dans les mêmes conditions que les grands donneurs d'ordre, sans en retirer de bénéfice proportionnel. Cette situation a été aggravée par la campagne de régularisation menée par le COREM en 2023, qui a donné lieu à des rappels de cotisations antérieures auprès de nombreuses entreprises de la filière métallurgique, fragilisant davantage leur compétitivité. Elle lui demande donc quelles mesures le Gouvernement entend prendre pour réévaluer le périmètre des entreprises assujetties à cette taxe, en tenant compte de leur taille, de leur niveau d'implication réel en R et D et des retombées concrètes qu'elles tirent des travaux du CETIM, afin de restaurer l'équité du dispositif et de préserver la compétitivité des PME industrielles.
