A National Education some 16000 positions should be deleted see below

Already 100,000 deletions made posts, upcoming other 100,000 between 2011 and 2013: the application of the principle of replacement of a staff member on two starting retirement will become more and more difficult on the ground. Nevertheless: the Government will confirm this goal on 6 July, during the policy debate of public finance in the National Assembly. And it intends to demonstrate that it is possible through the reform of the State, a few days before, at a new public policy Conference.

Bilateral meetings between François Baroin, in charge of the Budget, and the Chief Ministers were completed last week. Matignon has almost finalized the efforts to apply to each of the departments the year next to 34,000 positions (to a few hundred close) deletions. A National Education, some 16,000 positions should be deleted (see below). But, in proportion, it is Bercy to again produce the largest effort of 56 to 57 of the workforce not replaced. Defence will be among the largest contributors as expected in its act of programming, and the sustainable development and Agriculture. As in 2010 ( 200 positions) Justice should be the only Department to see its numbers grow, to accompany the construction of prisons (see below). And, as promised, the staff of higher education and research will be preserved again.

Productivity gains

But, beyond 2011, the Government must now complete fifteen days before the years 2012 and 2013. With a question: this rate of 34,000 deletions per year can be maintained without degrading the public service Accused - including by the Court of Auditors - to focus on a purely accounting vision, the Ministry of the Budget defending indicating rely on productivity of each administration. The hearing of inmates by videoconferencing, for example, to reduce the frequency of the trips to the tribunal: 1,200 police positions thus become unnecessary. The tax service is also modernized. Payment cheques, once managed manually in the 3,000 cash flows, are now read in three high-tech centres, in Rennes, Lille and Créteil, each dealing with 400,000 cheques per day, without human intervention. Hundreds of jobs can be thus earned. "We rely on the reform of the State, it has no standard applied to the blind," insists on the Ministry of the Budget.

Engines that "is faltering.

Other measures in project should help to maintain the pace, provides Bercy. Experienced in four local communities, notification by e-mail or mail parking fines should lead to the reduction of the number of police officers assigned to this task. They will be able to "flasher" without registration plates to fill the traditional Butterfly placed on the windshield. Another track of progress: the payment of local taxes of dematerialized manner, as practice already for three households in four, with the income tax.

Some administration officials admit however, informally, that the drivers of productivity "is faltering. "When Governments increasingly, the replacement of a staff member on two happens rather well." Where productivity gains are less obvious, it creaks more", said Luc Rouban, Director at Sciences po (Cevipof) research centre, which observed a"net"degradation of the social climate in the police and National Education.
