The entire tourist ecosystem pleads in favor of developments, hoteliers and restaurateurs in the lead.
The subject is also closely followed by Travel Companies (EDV) as part of the Confederation of Tourism Actors (CAT) which brings together all the professions in the tourism sector: accommodation and restaurant owners, travel operators, carriers, event trades and activities generating tourist flows.
However if Jean-Pierre Mas, President of EDV is aware of the concern raised by this deadline, he tempers: “Everything in its time. We are of course following the subject, but it is not an immediate hot topic. “
The HCR sector (Hotels, Coffee, Catering) is not missing an opportunity to step up to the plate.
At the 6th Annual Congress of the National Group of Independents (GNI) on November 15, the subject was put on the table. But Bruno Le Maire, Minister of the Economy, had given an end of refusal: “I am as always very direct and very transparent with you, I do not envisage universal measures”.
He once again reiterated the same message at the UMIH congress, which will be held in Strasbourg on November 23, 2021. The Union pleads in favor of a rescheduling of EMPs.
But the Minister of the Economy has once again swept away any new development. Quoted by France Bleu Alsace, he recommends dealing with cases on a case-by-case basis: โI think rescheduling is not the best solution. I prefer treatment on a case-by-case basis. I know BMPs are a real concern.
But I am providing a more efficient and rational response. (…) Those who would have difficulty repaying should not be face to face with their bank advisor either. There must be a mediator (…) “]i
The Minister specifies that in each department a mediation has been set up.
For Damien Duval, general manager of the Clubs Cap France villages: “The whole issue of the PGE is to be able to postpone its reimbursement to 5 or 10 years, it being understood that for many structures subject to seasonality and to certain customer profiles, the COVID crisis has not been resolved. This would be a real relief because, let us not forget for almost a year the only response that was provided at the height of the crisis (2020) was the subscription of a loan.
The solidarity fund did not really gain momentum until November 2020. Between the recovery plan, European funds and the mechanism for reclaiming tourism, the link could be the postponement of reimbursements of EMPs ”
Except that Bercy is opposed to it for the moment.
Already at a question asked by Muriel Roques-Etienne deputy LRM, published in the OJ on October 12, the Ministry of the Economy replied in this direction: “The Government has ensured that the EMP can effectively be extended, within the framework of a restructuring of all the debts of the company under the aegis of a judge”.
As underlined by the netPME site, a decree published in the Official Gazette on July 8 allows the extension of the reimbursement of EMPs beyond 6 years within the framework of amicable restructuring (mandate and conciliation) and judicial (safeguard, receivership, restructuring) procedures. crisis treatment procedure for VSEs / SMEs).
