Full discussion of the draft Finance Bill, currentlyin the hands of advisers for the Benkirane Team. They are called to communicate on a flagship project that the government must carry out during his tenure.
Critical Issues include how to build a vision of regional development? What is the approach to contracts between the state and region? Finally, what is the institutional care of the governance of territories? These are questions among others that the current Executive must deal with..
If today, the government has tweaked a project, it is not even in terms of its variation on the field. The task becomes even more complicated when the questionis seen from an electoral point of view. Knowing that the next local elections are approaching inexorably, the big unknown remains, the regional configuration to be adopted. Will there be in 16 regions or will switch fromone to 12 as envisaged in the project of regionalisation? For whilst the 120 advisers of the second chamber will be installed in October, all the bodies represented in turn must be elected before that date, including those from regional councils.
Already, there is a positive point in the adoption of the draft by all political forces, since the report of the Advisory
Board of regionalisation (JRC) there has been a consensus. Regarding the economic viability of the new regional configuration, leverage must come into play with more picked up by the new regional division which has the advantage of creating autonomous areas which are economically strong. For illustration, each region has its Regional Agency of project implementation (AREP). In addition, the The State will support the initiative so that it will succeed. Additional resources will be invested in the new regional councils. The JRC report mentions an increase in 1 to 5% of the shares of the products of the SI and IR assigned to them. There will also be shared equally between the state and regional councils of the product registration fees and annual special tax on motor vehicles.
Success also depends on the men and women who will assess the standard. They must have the profiles of managers who can generate ideas and translate them into projects for the economic role of each of their regions. Also, should the process should start by clearing the ground and clarifying the relationship between state and regional actors and the fields of allocation in the region.
It should also improve local management of human resources, the local taxation and finally overcome this intertwining of powers responsible for the slowness of the proceeding
