Savings through reorganization
In France there may soon be the necessity of reorganizing the state development and promoting agriculture ecology. In the framework of discussion over the budget the senate voted for dissolution of the special appointed for this purpose Agence Bio and transfer to its tasks to the ministry of agriculture or to office ds. agriculture FranceAgriMer.
The proposal this is presented by republican senator Laurent Duplomb. He hopes that thanks to restructuring the state will save 3 million euros. The deputy didn’t explain however, how precisely this could happen. Expenditures of agencies in 2022 year would be about 4 million euro.
Do really need more than 1000 representatives of authorities?
Minister of Agriculture Annie Genevard was open and talked about a essential proposal. However, implementation must be taken commonly with stakeholders ; this is a matter of acceptance.
In his speech delivered on 14 January , Prime Minister François Bayrou publicly expressed doubt about whether the state really needs over 1000 agencies, authorities and companies. This labyrinth is without democratic control – the prime minister stressed.
President of the agency, Jean Verdier, stressed in talks with media representatives the effectiveness of the actions of his institution. Agence Bio employs only about 20 people.
Fierce criticism from the branch
More ambiguous words have come from the agricultural sector. The Association Farming Ecological (FNAB) highly criticized this decision. For years promotion has not had clear direction, and now, in the middle of a crisis, the government wants to abolish the promotion sales agency.
Also the French Federation of Farmers (FNSEA) and Organization of Young Farmers (JA) were not too enthusiastic about it. FNSEA and JA jointly stated, that the request should be rejected both formally, as and meritally. Ecological agriculture is going through a period of great economic and structural difficulties, therefore it is necessary to support it.
About 30 billion euros are to be rescued
The French government is today taking measures to reduce the budget deficit. Recently there has been talk of
savings of an order 30 billion euro.
The French budget for the current year is not yet available. Currently expenditures can be made only
on the basis of a special decree. The government wants to achieve an agreement in the National Assembly by the end of January, so that the
budgetcould
be enacted as fastest.
