Question 2717 — professions judiciaires et juridiques

France · National Assembly · 10 July 2017

Mme Corinne Vignon appelle l'attention de Mme la garde des sceaux, ministre de la justice, sur le tirage au sort mis en place par la loi Macron du 6 août 2015 afin de libéraliser la profession des notaires. Depuis son entrée en vigueur, cette loi permet d'ouvrir de nouvelles études notariales. Celle-ci a aussi mis en place le mode d'affectation des offices sous la forme d'un tirage au sort, auquel l'inscription se fait numériquement. Cependant, dans le département de la Haute-Garonne celui-ci provoque des inquiétudes et des incompréhensions au sein de la profession car il a été effectué, semble-t-il, en toute opacité. De plus, aucune procédure n'impartialité n'a été mise en place. Il apparaît curieux que plus de 40 % des offices créés ont été attribués, soit à des enfants de notaires, soit à des épouses de notaires, soit à des salariés de notaires. Une des plus grosses études de Toulouse a bénéficié de 7 tirages au sort favorables, ce qui ne manque pas d'attirer l'attention de Mme la Députée, compte tenu du nombre élevé de postulants. Aussi, elle aimerait connaître les conditions du tirage au sort afin de pouvoir répondre aux doutes et interrogations des notaires de sa circonscription.

Question 2664 — enseignement secondaire

France · National Assembly · 10 July 2017

M. Belkhir Belhaddad attire l'attention de M. le ministre de l'éducation nationale sur la difficulté à remplacer des enseignants de langue vivante (allemand) dans le second degré. En l'espèce, un lycée de sa circonscription semble avoir été confronté à l'incapacité de remplacer une enseignante d'allemand dans le cadre d'une absence de longue durée prévue et planifiée. La mission d'intérêt général d'enseignement confère au ministre l'obligation légale d'assurer l'enseignement de toutes les matières obligatoires inscrites aux programmes d'enseignement. Aussi, il souhaite connaître la nature des difficultés structurelles à remplacer les enseignants de cette discipline et les mesures prises pour y pallier.

Question 2657 — enseignement

France · National Assembly · 10 July 2017

Mme Patricia Mirallès interroge M. le ministre de l'éducation nationale. L'article 75-1 de la constitution affirme que « les langues régionales appartiennent au patrimoine de la France ». Elles constituent la richesse du patrimoine français. C'est ainsi que la création d'une agrégation de langues de France, par arrêté du 15 mars 2017, s'inscrit pleinement dans la préservation de l'histoire et de la culture françaises. La première session d'agrégation verra le jour en 2018. Cette session se doit d'être ambitieuse et de répondre concrètement au besoin du territoire. À titre d'information, la langue d'oc recouvre 32 départements et exige donc la mise en place d'une politique cohérente avec des moyens spécifiques attribués à l'enseignement des langues régionales au sein des écoles de la République. Elle lui demande donc d'expliciter quelles sont les actions que souhaite mettre en œuvre le Gouvernement afin de permettre aux langues régionales d'avoir toute leur place au sein de l'éducation nationale et d'en assurer la pérennité.

Question 2655 — énergie et carburants

France · National Assembly · 10 July 2017

M. Jean-Marie Sermier interroge M. le ministre d'État, ministre de la transition écologique et solidaire, sur l'article 553-3 du code de l'environnement qui dispose que l'exploitant d'une éolienne est responsable de son démantèlement et de la remise en état du site à l'issue de l'exploitation, quel que soit le motif de la cessation de l'activité. Il demande ce que recouvre cette disposition, en particulier, si elle inclut l'élimination des fondations sur lesquelles la tour de l'éolienne était boulonnée qui, pour une éolienne standard de puissance nominale de 2 MW à 3 MW représente un diamètre de 14 mètres à 20 mètres, une hauteur de 2,5 mètres à 4 mètres et un volume de béton de 250 m3 à 400 m3. Dans l'affirmative, il lui demande ce qu'il advient dans l'hypothèse où la société exploitante a fait l'objet d'une liquidation judiciaire.

Question 2644 — défense

France · National Assembly · 10 July 2017

M. Bruno Fuchs interroge Mme la ministre des armées sur les perspectives de développement de la filière munitionnaire en France. Depuis la fermeture en 1999 de l'établissement de Giat Industries qui produisait au Mans des munitions de petit calibre, la France est dépourvue de filière de munitions militaires. Pour approvisionner les FAMAS en cartouches 5,56 mm au standard OTAN, il a fallu avoir recours d'abord à des munitions anglaises et israéliennes, qui se sont avérées inadaptées au pas de rayures du canon du fusil d'assaut français, puis à des balles émiraties qui se sont révélées dangereuses, provoquant maints incidents de tir. Les besoins en équipement munitionnaire sont en constante progression, en raison de la participation française à diverses opérations extérieures et des menaces terroristes qui planent sur la France. L'acquisition de munitions étrangères représente un effort financier, non seulement déjà élevé mais qui devra être amplifié dans un avenir proche. De plus, il y a un risque de pénurie, car les commandes sont prises au plus juste. Soucieux de remédier à cette situation et sachant que la France est le leader mondial de la fabrication de munitions de chasse, le ministre de la défense décidait, en mars 2017, de réimplanter sur le territoire national, à Pont-de-Buis (Finistère), une capacité industrielle complète de production de munitions de petits calibres, destinées à l'approvisionnement des forces armées, de la police et de la gendarmerie. À cette occasion, il annonçait la constitution d'un consortium réunissant le premier groupe industriel français de défense, Thales, le principal fabricant de poudre au monde, Nobel Sport, et le champion international de l'équipement munitionnaire, Manurhin. Il s'agit d'une opportunité qu'il convient de saisir, d'autant plus que le marché munitionnaire connaît une très forte croissance, en raison d'un contexte géopolitique instable dans plusieurs régions du monde, y compris en Europe. C'est pourquoi il lui demande de lui préciser les délais de mise en œuvre du projet de Pont-de-Buis. Il voudrait savoir si elle estime que la reconstitution d'une filière munitionnaire constitue une priorité stratégique et une condition indispensable de la souveraineté nationale et de l'indépendance des approvisionnements de la France.
