A close look, the draft budget for 2007, presented Wednesday, September 27, is not quite as virtuous that says the Government. Of course, it displays for the first time a decrease in the volume of appropriations from the State, whose evolution is limited for 2007 of inflation less 1 point. This means that they increase only 0.8, or slightly more than EUR 2.2 billion. A constant structure, general budget appropriations amounted for 2007 to 268,3 billion euros. This effort is a step towards rigour after three years of stabilization in volume. From this point of view, the State in huge social security and the territorial communities. This strengthening of fiscal regulation is a tour de force since, outside a few transfers of skills to communities (personal TOS of Education for example), the contours of State intervention has not changed. But if Bercy manages to hold budget 2007 in the noose, it is, in part, with a few facilities: grants transformed to assigned revenue, expenditures under-budgeted, insufficiently offset payroll taxes.
Of the "assigned revenues" for EUR 2.6 billion
In the budget for 2006, the Government had reduced column "credits" of EUR 1.8 billion in dealing with the relief of social security contributions nor expenditures, but lower revenues. Not unwarranted change from the point of view of orthodoxy budget, but very appropriate. Budget 2007 extended the list of charges transformed to assigned revenue, for a total of EUR 2.62 billion. Example: rather than subsidize Oseo, born of the merger of the BDPME and the Anvar, Bercy assigns directly EUR 130 million made on the social contribution on profits of corporations (CSB). The National Agency for research is, also pay CSB EUR 825 million. In most cases, the link is not incoherent. Thus the allocation of EUR 45 million to the national agency of securities stamp duty secure. Drain the revenue of the State to secure the investment of these public bodies. But, in addition to this subdivision of resources is hardly in the spirit of budget reform, the multiplication of these practices can lead to question the ability of the State to fund public policy.
A lack of medical assistance to 230 million
For several years, benefits managed by the social security on behalf of the State are sous-dotées. This is the case of medical assistance to State (AME) granted to foreigners in an irregular situation (beneficiary 178.689 end of 2005). For 2007 as 2006, Bercy budget 233 million for the soul, whose actual cost is two times higher. Lone parent allowance is under-budgeted 150 million euros to its actual cost, but the Government has found a reason: each beneficiary must now make all benefits to which he may claim, including the allocation of family support, the burden of social security.
Close to 600 million euros of expenses not offset
If the General relief of charges on low salaries are actually offset by the State social security, this is not always the case of targeted relief. An annex to the draft budget of the social security for 2007 sales of EUR 580 million these inadequately compensated ad hoc exemptions: DOM (EUR 200 million), apprenticeship contracts (EUR 150 million), service (130 million euros).
