Coincidentally the order is not released

MP UMP sum yesterday informed the commission of the laws of the Assembly his report on the implementation of the Act of 13 August 2004. According to him, the State was correct on financial transfers and Act II of decentralization has not resulted in additional costs for local communities. In contrast to various measures and reforms which followed.

Is the timetable for implementation of the law of decentralization required

The law assumes a series of devices that the latter will be initiated in 2007 when TOS officers will have to choose between staying in the State civil service or integrate the territorial public service, the FPT. We can estimate that the Act was fully implemented in 2009-2010. For the time being, the State is times, although it is often at the last moment, taking on 23 December the necessary decrees for January 1. It was expected that local public institutions can carry out experiments. National Education opposed. Coincidentally, the order is not released.

Optional transfers have little success. Why

Actually, Commons thirty only agreed, for example, manage the contingent of social housing in the prefect, three have arisen to support student housing and there are very few candidates for the resumption of historical monuments. Local communities, in fact, want a pause. For fear of do not master yet all the consequences of the Act, they remain at what is required. And then the financial resources transferred by the State, if they have been honestly, are modest. Elected officials discovered that he spent very little for historical monuments while them that close because of the land, would have had to meet strong demand.

Under what conditions is the transfer of personal TOS

Things go normally, although some worry about the low importance of personal materials transferred by the State. Here again, strictly corresponds to the means that it was. I would add that a concern expressed in the parliamentary debate will not be check: many of the TOS will change America for the FPT. If it is too early to make a balance, the right of option to January 1, 2007, it is clear that the TOS concerned first, seized that they had everything to gain to integrate the FPT, given optimal conditions which have been built. That, a contrario, told to the departments and areas that they do not have enough free rein to manage this staff.

In General, decentralization is also little flexibility. Take the RMI transfer prior to the Act of 2004: the range of proactive policies that the departments can conduct is limited. Their Presidents feel sort of Chiefs of service of the State on half of their duties. It is not false.

The financial plan, can what results we draw

The State was correct. He even gave more that it should, by adding EUR 30 million to the 1.4 billion expected and taking as reference the last year of exercise of jurisdiction by the State rather than the average in three years. The transfer of the TOS may have caused and additional costs related to the creation of coaching positions, but there is nothing extravagant. In fact, the additional costs come from measures to Act II of decentralization. The reform of the ASS, decided after the transfer of the RMI, resulted in an increase of the beneficiaries. The State responded to the fears of the departments in granting, in 2004, an additional allocation. The same commitment for 2005 and required. There is certainly something in 2006. But this does not fills the delta.

Other laws affect on departmental finances: the handicap, the reform of the status of childminders law and that the guardianship in cartons. The departments are not wrong to want to take a break. And then there was also that the France become a true centripetal country. Communities, regardless of whether the majority feel too framed by the State, much more stringent conditions for the exercise of their responsibilities as he was about himself.

The boundaries between skills are more net

The situation is clarified a bit, but not everywhere. The jurisdiction related to economic development, contrary to what some had feared, causes no clashes between the regions, departments, and the intercommunalités. The articulation of responsibilities works well in this area. I did not say as much health prevention policies. The Act allowed the departments, when they wanted to keep certain prerogatives, as in the fight against cancer, although logic would have intended that the State, responsible for health, retrieves. Result, in some areas, it has become unreadable.
