000 m2 in 2008 including 46000 m2 in Paris

A symposium on the estate of the State organized in the National Assembly on 11 June 2009, by Georges Tron, MP for Essonne and President of the Council of State housing, a "review of progress" on the reform of the management of the national heritage committed four years ago. Recalling that there is little the State knew or surfaces or the value of its built Park, Eric Woerth, Minister of the Budget, public accounts and public service, stated that this park is now valued in the accounts of the country to EUR 49.3 billion and stressed the need to optimize the 60 million square metres occupied by its services in France with 12 million meters square offices. "Our efforts to do so the State improves performance of management", he said, while exposing the first results of this awareness of the need "to reduce surfaces better maintained buildings. Administrative areas decreased by 60,000 m2 in 2007 and 77.000 m2 in 2008 including 46,000 m2 in Paris. A low figure compared with 600,000 m2 ceded by the British public services last year!

Assignments have beaten records in 2007 with revenues of EUR 820 million who are confined, in a depressed environment, 395 million in 2008, with anticipation of an also modest volume in 2009, "for not dismantle domestic goods". This advance does not include exceptional operations of sales of rights-of-way Parisian of the Ministry of defence, assessed before the downturn of the market at EUR 1 billion. "The route of these sales is not did without pitfalls with some restive jurisdictions", recalled Georges Tron, the head of this Council was established in June 2006 to carry out a mission of monitoring the implementation of the housing policy of the State: sales, lease, various ministries investment projects, implementation of indicators of performance and economic ratios taken.

The end of the opacity

Each administration shall reduce the position by agent 12 m2 15 today, and often 18-20 m2 in the province, said Eric Woerth. The ownership of the property of the State is now entrusted to the Ministry of the Budget, it is valuing these assets and, in doing so, to implement a more rigorous management of surfaces and a maintenance policy that takes into account the Grenelle of the environment. "We have identified the means, said the Minister, and in 2010 the budget will be agreed between 150-200 million euros while the stimulus plan has made EUR 200 million this year." The 655 state operators invited to communicate their Park, 620 inventory provided details and others will be sanctioned "on the variable part of the income of the Director", warned Eric Woerth.

Real estate strategy multiannual schemes already requested departments are also required their services. In addition, prefects will set before December 31 of the masterplans devolved State services in 100,000 buildings and this state of affairs translates into a lease for a term of nine years and rent, naturally indexed. "It requires the lessee to enter into a logic of performance", summarized Daniel Dubost, head of the France domain, the structure responsible for buildings policy of the State. He said that "the appropriations of rents that Governments will address the State will be registered in the draft finance law 2010 in respect of buildings mostly offices". "It is a true intellectual revolution", is the representative of the owner State. The departments budget rents reported 700 million euros to the budget of the State in 2008 against 300 million in 2007.

Jean-Pierre Lourdin, Secretary General of the CIE, welcomes the implementation finally the Census and identification of heritage, the implementation of a policy of market rents and the creation of the trust account (case) which pass the disposals and acquisitions and operates a sharing of revenues. The creation of a maintenance programme on 1 January 2009, complete the device, in accordance with the proposals of the global strategic pattern of State owner given to Eric Woerth by the CIE July 3, 2008.

Georges Tron "reform is rather successful with respect to the occupying State who successfully implement the rents, remove the specific assignment of vested buildings departments and establish a policy for the maintenance of the buildings." "However, the owner State is not firm and France domain has neither the means nor sufficient powers to manage alone the Park he was assigned as long as there is a financial share repaid to the departments concerned in assignments". These departments will feel in fact recognized as holders of their also square meters long part of the sales will return them.
