Navigo single price: Valls cut the grass under the feet of Pécresse – Liberation

So far, the term used most often by Valérie Pécresse to qualify the Navigo pass single rate was “Slate” . Here it is erased and for long. What the LR candidate presented as a drag on the budget of the Ile-de-France, and it amounted to 300 million euros found, was found.

In a letter Manual Valls sent this weekend to Valérie Pécresse, we read the different tracks that provides for one-time funding in 2016 and then for a lasting solution from 2017. “Everything has been settled in a fortnight . This proves that we have the tracks to pass the course, said Pierre Sernes (EE-LV), former Vice-President responsible for transport under the left. M ^me Pécresse knew that we had started to negotiate. “

” tracks “ for 2016 is the addition of quite varied ways, including the use of funds that the STIF (Syndicat des transports d’Ile-de-France) was provisioned for litigation which opposed the RATP around the payroll tax. The Prime Minister also asked the operator to the subway and bus to sell its headquarters on the Quai des Grands-Augustins and dig into its exceptional results in 2015.

for the following years, “work was committed to following the vote of the Finance Act 2016, writes Valls. The government will present the conclusions to Parliament in September. It will examine the conditions and terms for the transfer of a part of CVAE [value added contribution of companies] to the Ile-de-France region in 2017 “.

Still, the Prime Minister also took the opportunity to put the numbers straight. The “hole” caused by the Navigo single tariff is it really 300 million as claimed by STIF and the new president? “It will be necessary to wait until the end of the semester in order to have a more precise quantification of the actual cost of the past [...] as well as revenues generated by higher transportation payment.” For if the we want to know how much the single price, one must also know how he relates in additional revenue. “We ended up having monthly revenue figures over the first four months says Pierre Sernes. On the basis of September and October, before the attacks, we see that the pass rather cost EUR 400 million. So a hole 200 million “.

On the political front, Matignon and Bercy budget kidnapped Valérie Pécresse to the argument of a threat that hover on the budget of the region , preventing it from applying its program. Clever.
