Reform communities. Everything goes ...

or ... almost!

E n effect, the draft law reforming the local authorities on which the Constitutional Council been called upon to decide just be a partial censorship by the sages of the Palais Royal.


A Gap ...
In this case, the Constitutional Council has censured an annex to the text. Specifically, a table annexed fixing the number of advisers in six territorial departments. Indeed, the difference in numbers of territorial advisors with respect to the regional average was more than substantial because more than 20% at that territorial average.

The departments concerned are:
- Meuse in Lorraine;
- Cantal in Auvergne;
- in the Aude region Languedoc-Roussillon ;
- Haute-Garonne in Midi-Pyrenees
- Mayenne in Pays of the Loire;
- and Savoy for the Rhone-Alps.


Differences ...
But what is the rest of the text, the Constitutional Council has approved all of the provisions. And it is perhaps here that we should worry. Many have perhaps forgotten but the draft law reforming local Land was made by the will of the state against local authorities. The Senate, where they are represented, after several attempts to alter the text in a more friendly community, has seen his project thrown into oblivion in the second reading by the National Assembly which led to a disagreement between the two assemblies.

Reminder: In accordance with the constitution when the text concerns the local authorities, consideration of the bill must first pass first by the Senate. Though in practice this does not change much on the symbolic level, this aspect is not be neglected because it shows that the text will be first examined by the representatives of those it concerns first.

In other words, and to be more clear, the reform of local government took place without local authorities. The method used for the adoption of this text is usually in the Sarkozy era. What is less problematic and is that this text will apply to more than 36 000 municipalities, with a big hundred departments, the 26 regions without forgetting the EPCI (establishments of intercommunal cooperation, more commonly known as intercommunalities) and their public institutions. It did seem like much but all these entities weigh more than 70% of public procurement in France.

This text presented as a reform were actually two main objectives:
- reorganizing communities to allow a victory for the right even in an unfavorable context for it;
- to bear by local and regional efforts to reduce public debt.

Here is the problem and source of future uncertainty because we learn at the same time on the part of reporters Parliamentarians for PLF 2011 (draft budget law or budget) of things we already knew, namely that the government act the removal of business tax, the main resource of local authorities, without really knowing what was or how much it would cost. At the very least by the UMP which lifted the hare would be missing despite the new taxes created to compensate for the shortfall: 2.7 billion euros. Probably more practical.

In times of famine budget, and while the purchasing power of the president promised he would not be the president who would increase taxes, this makes task. A task that the French will realize on their next note of local taxes.
