On March 9, Édouard Philippe and Nicole Belloubet, Keeper of the Seals, presented in Reims the main axes to build efficient, fast and accessible justice for all across the territory.

Launched on October 6, 2017 in Nantes by the Prime Minister and the Keeper of the Seals, Chantiers de la Justice have prepared a comprehensive reform of Justice through a broad consultation of 5 months.

The 4 components of the reform presented in Reims make it possible to tackle all the major issues of Justice:

the improvement and simplification of criminal and civil procedures, the digital transformation, the meaning and the effectiveness of the sentences, the adaptation of the judicial organization. Among the flagship measures presented by the reform, we can mention: the reduction of unnecessary delays while improving the work of the investigators, the path of the victims and the exercise of the magistrates; the trial of a departmental criminal court for the less serious crimes with the aim of relieving the courts of assize and limiting pre-trial detention; Litigation in the district and high courts will be merged, but all sites will be maintained, particularly when they are isolated. Thus the litigant will be able to seize the civil or penal justice or to inquire about its litigation on all the judicial sites. His case may be judged closer to home. All of these simplification measures aim at improving the work of the investigators, the victims' journey while taking into account the work of the magistrates.

On the basis of the restitution of the building sites, the consultation will continue with the detailed presentation of the project to the trade union organizations, before the transmission to the Council of State. The bill will then be discussed in Parliament.

The 2017 report on wealth indicators has just been released. As every year, since 2015, it shows through 10 indicators of reference, the complete statistics and the most recent data on the economic, social and environmental situation of France.

Since the vote of the law of April 13, 2015, the wealth of France is no longer just weighed by the yardstick of gross domestic product (GDP). It is now based on 10 development indicators – indicators of inequality, quality of life, sustainable development … – which allow to analyze more closely the economic, social and environmental sustainability but also the quality of life group of French people with regard to the proposed model.

With these ten indicators, France has a unique tool with regard to the evolution of society and the way in which it envisages the notion of collective progress associating the economic dimension with that of social and environmental well-being. A tool readable by the French who, at the level of the civil society, territories, companies, can appropriate this grid of reading.

This tool also has a deep political meaning. Every year, the Government submits a report to Parliament based on these new indicators. The 2017 report provides a valuable inventory to assess the Government's action in the light of the country's situation, and thus to mobilize the various stakeholders around France's transformation and development project.

In the same way, next year, the main reforms initiated by the Government will thus be evaluated and judged in their adequacy, in particular the will displayed by the Government to engage France towards a model of sustainable growth, more inclusive and greener.
