The inappropriateness of the cadastral income as a criterion for considering the constitution of ‘commissions syndicales’ of the ‘sections de commune[L’inadaptation du revenu cadastral comme critère permettant d’envisager la constitution des commissions syndicales des sections de commune]

. The inappropriateness of the cadastral income as a criterion for considering the constitution of ‘commissions syndicales' of the ‘sections de commune' Among the various measures it took in 2013 to gradually phase out local authority sections, the French legislature has tightened up the conditions for setting up their ‘commission syndicale'. One of these conditions is that the section must have a minimum annual ‘cadastral income'. However, not only because the minimum amount of ‘cadastral income' is a questionable one, the very criterion of cadastral income is unsuitable in view of the paradigm shift surrounding the renewal of the social and environmental functions of the ‘communaux'. ‘Cadastral income' is an abstract, outdated construction, disconnected from the activity or quality of the current assets of the ‘sections de commune'. It does not take into account any real income nor, even more fundamentally, the environmental services they provide.
