For once, trade unionists, shipowners, local elected officials of various political colors all met on Tuesday at the Ministry of Sustainable Development. They came to celebrate the signing of the implementing decrees of the law passed unanimously last June to fight against social dumping in cross-Channel maritime transport.
Everyone was mobilized in March 2022 when the British company P
A bill was tabled in January 2023 by the deputy for Finistère, Didier Le Gac (Horizon), to guarantee working conditions, remuneration and safety for sailors who carry out cross-Channel traffic regardless of the flag of their vessel . “We often accuse parliamentarians of passing laws that have no impact on people’s lives,” regrets the MP. This will have an impact from tomorrow on that of sailors and companies on the cross-Channel,” says the MP less than a year and a half after submitting his bill.
In recent years, the low-cost model has further eroded the French flag's market share on cross-Channel routes. DFDS and Getlink, which operates the Channel Tunnel and even operated ships for a few years, supported the parliamentarians' approach.
From now on, shipping companies will have to respect working conditions and minimum remuneration levels when they serve French ports. “They will no longer be able to pay sailors two euros an hour or grant them two days of rest for four months of work,” summarizes Hervé Berville, the Secretary of State for the Sea. Since Brexit, cross-Channel traffic has 'evolves more in European waters. International law has replaced Community law and certain companies have engaged in social dumping. Those who do not comply with the law will be punished criminally and administratively.”
They will face a fine of 4,000 euros multiplied by the number of sailors. Two operators are in the crosshairs of the authorities: P
MEP and President of the Transport Committee in the European Parliament, Karima Delli, was delighted that “the maritime sector, often excluded from social progress”, could be at the “avant-garde” in France. Castigating the “poison of social dumping”, she said she intended to include these measures in the “maritime security package”.
