PLFSS 2016: intervention by Guillaume Arnell

As part of the Social Security Finance Bill for 2016 (PLFSS), Senator Guillaume Arnell intervened in a session on Article 9, at the beginning of the week, so that the specificities of the territory are taken into account. “The General Inspectorate of Finance (IGF) and the General Inspectorate of Social Affairs (Igas) have assessed the specific exemptions for overseas territories. Article 9 focuses them on low wages, up to 1,2 Smic for general reductions and 2,5 Smic for the CICE, while they apply today up to 4,5 Smic, to a level where their effect on employment is almost nil… Unfortunately, Saint-Martin and Saint-Barthélemy, communities whose status is governed by article 74 of the Constitution, do not benefit from the CICE, even though the abolition of aid for hotel renovations has done some damage. Be careful to take into account their particular situation! ”, Indicated the senator in particular.
