The Court of Auditors returned to the charge, mi-september, on the thorny subject of additional remuneration for overseas civil servants, to which she devoted a very critical report in 2015. In a letter addressed to Matignon, its president Pierre Moscovici reiterated his recommendations for reform of a system “generating inequalities between agents, poorly measured on a budgetary level, source of drift and increase in its cost, of the order of 1,5 billion euros for state civil servants and the military alone, even though it only imperfectly meets its initial objectives”. In his response, the government was content to procrastinate by emphasizing the “high complexity” of implementing the Court’s recommendations, in particular the unification of supplementary remuneration schemes for all the territories concerned.
