Reinforced support for family pensions

MIL OSI Translation. French Polynesian to English –

Source: Government of French Polynesia

The Assembly of French Polynesia adopted, at its meeting last Friday, the country's law modifying the aid scheme for family pensions.

The new provisions provide for a doubling of the ceiling amount granted per program:

Up to 10,000,000 Fcfp for a creation program instead of 5,000,000 Fcfp; Up to 7,000,000 Fcfp for an extension or renovation program instead of 3,500,000 Fcfp; Up to 5,000,000 Fcfp for other development programs instead of 2,500,000 Fcfp.

The country's law also removes the advisory board that reviews and renders prior notice of aid applications. This commission, which met only three times in five years, unnecessarily lengthens and delays the procedure and the granting of aid. In addition, it provides for the possibility for the aid recipient to start the implementation of his development program upon receipt of the application receipt.

In addition, the Minister of Tourism, Nicole Bouteau, proposed an amendment to further support the non-Tahiti islands to reduce the additional costs associated with the installation or development of a family pension on the islands. The maximum intervention rate was therefore set at 50% of the investment amount for the island of Tahiti and at 60% for the other islands. During the examination of the country's bill, the Tourism Committee pointed out that pensions in the non-Tahiti Islands should be eligible for greater support because of their remoteness.

Finally, it has been proposed that additional support be provided for investment projects that comply with government guidelines, particularly in the area of ​​the environment and accessibility for persons with reduced mobility (PRM).

The debates enabled the Minister of Tourism to recall the objectives pursued by the country, which are to constantly upgrade and improve quality, lighten and simplify administrative procedures and increase investment support for boarding houses.

The increase in the country's financial support is intended to broaden and improve the offer of tourist accommodation, particularly in remote archipelagos, as demand grows with the arrival of new airlines, the creation of family today assuming a minimum investment of about 20 million Fcfp.

The country's support also covers training needs identified by professionals in the areas of management, accounting, security (first aid) and communication (marketing through the use of social networks).

It is also a specific campaign, "Stay at a Tahitian Guesthouse" deployed by Tahiti Tourism in the Anglo-Saxon markets, who know little about this type of accommodation This promotion on the Anglo-Saxon markets goes hand in hand with the development of the Airline service from San Francisco, with French Bee and United Airlines.

The 57 representatives of the Assembly of French Polynesia unanimously approved the proposed amendments, congratulating the government for the support provided to the family pensions.

Main tenant une loupe avec une punaise de lit en direction d'un lit

Since the 1990s, there has been a worldwide resurgence of bed bug infestations. Hotel rooms, youth hostels, mountain lodges, collective housing, special habitats, shelters, retirement homes, prisons, hospitals, night trains, cruise ships … and no big city seems to be spared.

Bedbugs feed at night with human blood. They are attracted by the vibrations, the heat, the smells and the carbon dioxide released by the individuals. They are found mostly in bedrooms (mattresses, box springs and bed frames) but they also live in other dark and quiet places (sofas, cracks in walls and floors, backs of paintings, curtains). They can also invest the washing machine if they have been brought in with contaminated linen and if the washing is always done with warm water.

How to get rid of it?

if contamination occurred during a trip, place your baggage on a hard surface away from areas where bedbugs might nest; wash at least 60o your clothes immediately. Also wash the bag at the same temperature; put the non-washable items in the dryer and cycle for at least 30 minutes at the highest possible temperature; where possible, put the objects in the freezer at -20o minimum for 48 hours; do not dispose of infested furniture (mattresses, chair, etc.) without being treated, as they may contaminate others; put the end of your vacuum cleaner on your mattress, bed and surrounding objects (bedside table, curtains, books, etc.). Pack the bag tightly and throw it in an outdoor bin, then clean your vacuum cleaner; to treat nooks and upholstery, use 120o steam cleaning which destroys insects; seal cracks and crevices on walls, behind skirting boards and wooden bed frames; remove or re-glue the peeling wallpaper; if necessary, reattach the switch plates.

Do not hesitate to contact a specialist in pest control or hygiene services at your town hall.

Warning :

Avoid improvising a chemical treatment that could disperse bedbugs, aggravate the problem and promote the appearance of resistance of the parasites to treatment.

How to identify them?

These insects are visible to the naked eye, they measure 4 to 7 mm in adulthood. Their bodies are flat, oval in shape (like an apple seed) and brown in color (reddish after a meal). They are wingless and do not jump but move very fast.

How to detect the infestation?

The contamination is mainly observed by the presence:

skin lesions due to pitting, in the form of raised red spots of 5 mm to 2 cm with a hemorrhagic red spot or a vesicle of clear fluid in the center. They are responsible for more itching in the morning than in the evening. They are generally located on the parts of the body discovered during the night: arms, legs, back, neck; small black spots of 1 to 3 mm on the sheets, the mattress, the box spring and / or the walls of the room corresponding to the droppings of insects; streaks of blood on the sheets following the crushing of the bedbugs during the sleep of the person.

What to do in case of bites?

Bed bugs do not present any risk of transmission of infectious agents (viruses, bacteria, parasites, etc.). The affected person can wash normally but must avoid scratching. The bites can disappear spontaneously after 10 days. However, they sometimes cause dermatological or allergic disorders requiring a medical consultation.

The President of the French Republic, Emmanuel Macron, the Prime Minister of the Portuguese Republic, António Costa, the President of the Government of the Kingdom of Spain, Pedro Sánchez, as well as the European Commissioner for Climate Action and Climate Change. energy, Miguel Arias Cañete, met in Lisbon on July 27, 2018, with the aim of accentuating the development of energy interconnections between the three countries. The Vice President of the European Investment Bank (EIB), Emma Navarro, was also present at this meeting.

Leaders reaffirm their commitment to fighting climate change. The challenges ahead require rapid and sustained mobilization. For this reason, Portugal, France and Spain, at the Lisbon meeting, pledged to actively promote the energy transition and the decarbonisation of the economy. The European Commission and the EIB will provide full support, including financial support.

(Internal Energy Market)

Committed to the establishment of the European Energy Union and the energy transition, the signatories reaffirm the strategic role of interconnections to improve the functioning of a secure, competitive and clean internal energy market. to engage in a transformation towards a more sustainable energy system, in line with European energy and climate objectives. They also recognize the importance of an efficient energy market to contribute to the competitiveness of European industry and to job creation.

The participants, being exposed to the same risks of supply taking into account the technological evolutions and the international geopolitical context, underline that the development of the energy interconnections makes it possible to bring a common answer, which testifies to the added value of a European approach, as is the case with security and defense.

In the wake of the Madrid Summit of 4 March 2015, the signatories reiterate their commitment to the development of interconnections and agree to set an ambitious common agenda to complete the energy transition.

They reiterate their willingness to implement the conclusions of the October 2014 European Council, in particular the 2020-2030 targets for interconnections. Similarly, they recognize the importance of the conclusions of the Clean Energy for All Europeans package and, in particular, the Energy Union and Climate Action Governance Regulation, which sets targets for for interconnections up to 10% for 2020 and 15% for 2030.

They also emphasize the importance of meeting interconnection targets to promote renewable energy and to meet the commitments made under the Paris Agreement.

They reaffirm their commitment to the objectives set and the commitment to build the infrastructure necessary for the efficient functioning of an efficient and decarbonised internal energy market, in particular the cross-border interconnections of natural gas and electricity networks, in particular in Member States that have not yet reached a minimum level of integration in the European energy market, as is the case in Spain and Portugal.

The signatories welcome the work done by the South West Europe High Level Group on Interconnections (HLG), created following the Madrid Summit. Chaired by the European Commission, the High Level Group played a central role in establishing a roadmap for the implementation of the projects contained in the Madrid Declaration. The signatories confirm their willingness to support the HLG in evaluating the development of projects of common interest (ICPs) necessary to avoid the energy isolation of this region and included in the implementation plan adopted in September 2016.

Russia, Portugal, France, Spain, the European Commission and the EIB, committed to renewing the political momentum towards achieving the objectives of energy interconnections, reaffirm their commitment to the CIPs already identified, but have not yet been committed or completed. The use of the most environmentally friendly technologies and more economical will be essential to improve the local acceptability of infrastructure and meet the cost-benefit criteria.

They also agreed to review the implementation plan for implementing the current ICPs, as well as to identify new or alternative projects as soon as possible. These projects will also enable Portugal, France and Spain to reach a more ambitious target by 2030.

The three countries will continue to coordinate closely, with the participation of all relevant stakeholders, in monitoring interconnection projects, while assessing the corresponding funding needs and overseeing their evolution in order to develop a new roadmap for implement them.

(Electrical interconnections)

The signatories welcome the progress of the strategic project of the Bay of Biscay and the signing today of the financing agreement under the Connecting Europe Facility (CEF) – Connecting Europe Facility, granting the largest European financial support ever granted to an energy infrastructure. In this context, they insist on the necessity to carry out all the procedures with diligence, so that this connection can enter into service quickly. They welcome the EIB's commitment to assess the possibility of additional support for financing this infrastructure.

They renewed their support for European funding of the projects identified at the previous Summit in order to move towards their finalization: Cantegrit-Navarra and Marsillon-Aragon, as well as the interconnection of Portugal and Spain, between Vila Fria-Vila do Conde-Recarei (Portugal) and Beariz-Fontefría (Spain), which, when concluded, will bring a level of interconnection greater than 10% between Portugal and Spain.

They also express their full support for the speeding up of the preparation and identification of financing sources within the European framework in order to evaluate and implement new electricity interconnection projects between France and Spain.

They recognize that the new interconnections will also require additional reinforcement of existing networks in order to make full use of their capacity. These reinforcements will have to be identified as soon as possible and taken into account in the evaluations.

(Gas interconnections)

Portugal, France and Spain welcome the European Union strategy for liquefied natural gas (LNG) and its storage, adopted by the Commission in February 2016. They highlight the importance of LNG for diversification of EU sources and supply routes, with the aim of reducing dependency and enhancing energy security. To this end, it is essential to focus on the development of transport, storage and import infrastructures that will enable Europe to take full advantage of this source of energy.

Portugal, France and Spain recognize the importance of gas interconnections in the region, whether for regional purposes or as an essential contribution to the security of supplies on the European natural gas market.

The three countries are pleased to be able to contribute to this strategy via existing LNG infrastructure, which now accounts for the majority of imported LNG in Europe. This strategy should support increased gas flows between Portugal, Spain and France, in both directions, contributing to a safer and more affordable internal energy market in the context of a transition. clean energy.

The signatories also recognize the importance of concluding the MIBGAS treaty between Spain and Portugal, which will allow the deepening of the Iberian gas market and its future integration into the French market, thus improving the functioning of the entire European market for gas. energy.

The three countries support the priorities established under the Connecting Europe Facility (CEF), the Structural Funds and the European Fund for Strategic Investments, priorities which should be maintained in the next multiannual financial framework through the CEF and the future InvestEU program and again rely on the proper participation of the EIB.

Such financing should contribute to the construction of a viable, united European market without creating an excessive burden for consumers in the three countries.

(Energetic transition)

Portugal, France and Spain recognize the contribution that a fully interconnected internal energy market can make to the decarbonisation of the European energy sector. This energy transition plays a key role in the long-term European strategy for reducing emissions and the path towards carbon neutrality by 2050, consistent with meeting the objectives of the Paris Agreement.

They express their support for the development of this strategy and for the completion of the negotiation of all the legislative proposals of the "Clean Energy for All Europeans" package, before the start of COP 24, which will take place at the end of year in Katowice (Poland). All three also recognize the social, economic and environmental benefits of a clean energy transition, including its contribution to improving Europe's air quality, and the resulting opportunities in terms of investment, growth and growth. jobs.

The three countries agree on the need to set ambitious national targets for renewable energy development and energy efficiency. They also agree on the relevance of better coordinating their national energy-climate action plans and sharing coherent scenarios for energy supply.

In order to anticipate the evolution of the electricity interconnection needs, the three countries, in cooperation with the transmission system operators, will agree on the programming of the investments in the production of renewable energy for the purpose of accelerate the energy transition and contribute to security of supply.

Portugal, France and Spain agree to work together, with technical support from the European Commission, to put in place cross-border tenders for renewable energy production and development of bonds green investments to finance green investments.

In order to accelerate the decarbonisation of energy production, the three countries will jointly defend the implementation of a minimum carbon price.

In order to play a leading role in the European energy transition, which includes the strengthening of consumer rights and the possibility of consuming only green energy, the three countries agree to launch a trilateral consultation process with a view to establishing common criteria for green certificates, which will promote regional exchanges, will make full use of the European funding instruments available under the new multiannual financial framework and thus enhance the level of ambition of the EU contribution (NDC) to be presented in 2020.

The signatories pledge to cooperate in the fight against energy poverty and to establish a common strategy to remedy it.

The three countries also agree to share best practices for more efficient use of energy networks.

(Euro-Mediterranean cooperation)
