CAPEB welcomes the simplification of the RGE and GME

CAPEB declares itself satisfied to see the government recognize the need to facilitate GME by planning to eliminate the joint liability of companies in groups. The formal and clear confirmation of the RGE simplification measures, impatiently awaited by craft construction companies, also constitutes a positive commitment.

Among these measures, we should welcome the introduction of several priority simplification proposals formulated by Capeb and its network, such as the simplification of the terms of access and renewal of the RGE, the dematerialization of files to simplify qualification requests and the creation of a standard estimate for assisted renovations.

CAPEB also underlines the interest of the provisions relating to public procurement: the reliability of the counting of payment deadlines for public buyers, the possibility of applying with only Siret, the creation of an electronic safe and advance conditions on works and guarantee retentions favorable to the cash flow of small businesses.

Several general measures such as the VSE/SME Test and the simplification of the social declaration of self-employed workers are also going in the right direction.

Although these announcements are in line with the expectations of the companies supported by CAPEB, there is still a long way to go to complete them. The government's desire for annual monitoring is encouraging in this regard.

For Jean-Christophe Repon, president of CAPEB: “We are pleased that many of our proposals have been included in the government's plan. Nevertheless, CAPEB will remain vigilant on the effective implementation of these provisions as soon as possible. Particularly when it comes to RGE and GME. On this last point, we hope that its legislative translation will take place quickly so that the GMEs are operational without delay, and not only for energy renovation work but also, at a minimum, for work on the adaptability and accessibility of housing to the time when staying at home is becoming a major societal issue. »
