The Price Observatory, of margins and income of Reunion Island has taken up the ball launched by the National Assembly's investigation report on the cost of living in Overseas Territories, which recommends revaluing the budgets of the Domian observatories. During its plenary session on August 10, he called for “legislative and regulatory measures which will strengthen the OPMRs in their statutes, means and missions, so that they can participate more effectively in the fight against the high cost of living.”. If they are followed, parliamentary recommendations would allow the Reunion Observatory to manage an annual budget of more than 260,000 euros as it wishes, whereas today it depends on the prefecture to function. The OPMR is also asking to be the recipient of mass distribution accounts “which should be automatically transmitted to the authorities in charge of competition” and an expansion of its powers..
