After a long course on a sea that was not always quiet, the bill “3ds” – for differentiation, decentralization, deconcentration and simplification – has arrived at a good port. The Joint Joint Joint Commission (CMP), composed of seven senators and seven MPs, joined Monday 31 January, has reached an agreement on a common text. It should be approved by both Houses, the National Assembly on February 8 and the Senate on 9 for a final adoption.
The result was nothing acquired. He required a long work of clearing and advance exchange, so much so that the CMP, originally planned on January 27, had to be postponed four days. In a statement published at the end of this last conclusive meeting, the Chamber of the Palais du Luxembourg welcomes an agreement “which resumes the positions of the Senate”. An elegant way to pass the pill with those who, in the right-wing senatorial majority, did not wish to offer the executive the benefit of the adoption of a bill expected by local elected officials, a few weeks of the presidential deadline.
Among the points that remained under discussion, the housing component was not the least sensitive, particularly with regard to the extension of the solidarity and urban renewal (SRU), which sets to 2,111 urban communes the objective. to reach 20% or 25% of social housing at the expiry of 2025. An objective that is still far from reaching for 773 of them. So the bill is planning to postpone the obligation beyond 2025 for the deficit municipalities, provided that they sign with the prefect, after the opinion of the SRU National Commission, a social mix contract to establish A calendar of construction of missing social housing. The bill provided for this timetable to two three-year periods; Senators got that it was three times three years. Was also removed the opinion of the SRU commission, the “Paris veto”, according to the Senate formula.
“Complete satisfactory”
Another major tension point: the articulation of skills between municipalities and intercommunities. The Senate remains hostile to the transfer of skills that operated towards the “Intercos”, pleading for “à la carte” transfers. No question of “Processing” the intercommunities, had warned the Prime Minister, the Government’s willingness to finalize ongoing transfers. However, on the management of water and sanitation, traditional TOTEM of the “Chamber of Territories”, two proposals have been accepted, facilitating the maintenance of the unions, to which the Community competence may be delegated, and allowing the intercommunities of draw in the general budget to pay the water and sanitation budget.
