While the President of the Republic has launched the broad construction of the administrative organization of the territory, the Concorde Foundation, which ensures have already inspired by the past Governments on the poles of competitiveness or the creation of a Ministry of sustainable development, does not want to stay away from this debate. This sort of "think tank" close to the Elysee advocates in a work which has contributed experts and elected a series of urgent reforms in the governance of the territories. All animated, as is the head of State, by a concern for reduction of public spending, some of the proposals of the Foundation may however susceptibility number of local elected officials.
It thus proposes to reduce 36,000 to 12,000 the number of communal budgets by encouraging the consolidation of small neighbouring communes around a same budget. To do this, it would suffice to refresh Act Marcellin on the fusion-association of municipalities of 1971. "The displayed objective will be to stabilize the tax burden on five or ten years, constant investment with a guarantee of the State", says the Foundation. The attacks also Commons "spending structures from their conception" communities by offering development contracts where the level of subsidies of other communities and the State would be dependent on the efforts to reduce their operating expenses.
Not convinced by the effectiveness of the regional power "an association of departments would have filled the same missions" , the authors advocate "to organize the Department-area couple" in an association by "same election and the same elected to manage the two levels". This merger of the two executives, already adopted in other forums, "will de facto be a more coherent management of means", ensure its promoters. In all the circumstances, the State retains a leading role with a preponderant place given in the field to the prefect, even if it is to share his authority on some services, such as the DDE or the gendarmerie. In this new architecture, the sous-préfectures must disappear: they are even sold and replaced by simple shops in the downtown "which issue official coins in to self-sustaining financial both."
The proposals of the Concorde Foundation confined however not simple reorganization of administrative levels. The underlying objective is of "free local initiative and to submit to the companies and projects centre representatives of entrepreneurs", provides the Economist Michel Rousseau, Chairman of the Foundation and an advocate for business networks. The creation of "territorial Foundation" missions, oriented mainly towards the development of the economic and social life of the regions, could help. They can leverage the power of mobilization of a public-private partnership, judge the study relies on foreign examples. Other proposals also include the creation of "departmental mediators", the personalities of high level, able to resolve disputes with banks, insurance, major providers of public services. Their mission would be akin to a role of local elected officials. "The Republic do itself credit by creating an institution of proximity with a human face to strengthen the link in a complicated society and the rights of citizens", judge the Concorde Foundation.
