And therefore, if the proposal of the senator from Guadeloupe to pass the increase of 9 euros ultimately 2.63 euros, was not retained.
Republican elected officials have also submitted an identical text who was adopted to him.
It thus provides for an exceptional measure for overseas territories. It states that it aims to correct a “fare inequity affecting overseas populations traveling between mainland France and their territories on a round trip, in economy class, as proposed by the Government’s amendment.
Thus, this subamendment proposes to maintain the rate applicable to these journeys at €2.63, in accordance with the solidarity rate provided for air transport, as defined in 2° of article L. 422-20. It ensures equitable application for all populations concerned.”
This scale, the one applied before the government’s decision to triple the amount of the tax, should therefore apply to overseas territories and Corsica.
At the same time and as we revealed to you this morning, the scale is also expected to evolve for other destinations, if PLF 25 is maintained by the government and voted on in the National Assembly.
“We proposed texts to 150 senators, we sent them twice.
Indeed, the Senate adopted a text which returns to the initial project, which generally increases the tax for European destinations from 9 to 5.30 euros. Contrary to what is currently circulating, we also had an amendment taken up by a senator called Madame Petrus, and who took word for word the text that she was asked to present, and which takes out the overseas and Corsica.
It’s an action that we can still be satisfied with,” said Valérie Boned, during the Selectour congress in Doha.
And to continue with the words of the president of the EDV, another text was indeed adopted by the Senate. It was tabled by the centrist Union and 60 senators.
