Lecornu Orders Ministers to Enact 70 Measures in 'État Efficace' Drive to Streamline the State

The move seeks to make public action readable by designating a single accountable authority for each policy.

Overview

  • The prime minister sent roughly twenty letters instructing ministers to clarify their administrations’ missions and name one person in charge per policy.
  • Matignon’s package outlines seventy urgent steps that include agency mergers or rapprochements, resource reviews, and digitalisation projects.
  • Requested actions include dematerialising certain civil-status procedures and shifting electoral propaganda to digital formats to cut costs and paper use.
  • Other measures call for reviewing how the biodiversity office and the gendarmerie share environmental policing, studying a HAS–ANSM rapprochement, and bringing CCI and CMA networks closer.
  • The initiative follows a three‑month audit across ministries, and officials say any productivity gains will be presented as measured results with no aggregate savings disclosed upfront.
