Article L6264-5 of the French General Code of Local Authorities

In application of article LO 6271-5, a global grant for school construction and equipment is instituted in order to help compensate for the net increases in charges for the collectivity of Saint-Barthélemy resulting from the transfer of powers to it.

The global grant for school construction and equipment corresponds to the average annual amount of appropriations devoted by the department of Guadeloupe and the commune of Saint-Barthélemy to capital expenditure for the Saint-Barthélemy secondary school between 1997 and 2006 inclusive; this amount is indexed to the growth rate of gross fixed capital formation of general government associated with the 2007 and 2008 finance bills.

Given the positive difference between the amount of taxes and the amount of costs transferred by the State to the collectivity of Saint-Barthélemy, the total amount of the global grant for school construction and equipment calculated in 2008 for the benefit of the collectivity of Saint-Barthélemy, in accordance with the second paragraph, is not paid to the collectivity of Saint-Barthélemy and is deducted from the State budget. For the same reason, no global grant for school construction and equipment is due to the collectivity of Saint-Barthélemy from 2009.

Original in French 🇫🇷
Article L6264-5

En application de l’article LO 6271-5, une dotation globale de construction et d’équipement scolaire est instituée afin de contribuer à compenser les accroissements nets de charges de la collectivité de Saint-Barthélemy résultant des transferts de compétences à son profit.

La dotation globale de construction et d’équipement scolaire correspond au montant annuel moyen des crédits consacrés par le département de la Guadeloupe et la commune de Saint-Barthélemy aux dépenses d’investissement du collège de Saint-Barthélemy entre 1997 et 2006 inclus ; ce montant est indexé sur le taux de croissance de la formation brute de capital fixe des administrations publiques associé aux projets de loi de finances pour 2007 et 2008.

Compte tenu de l’écart positif existant entre le montant des impôts et celui des charges transférés par l’Etat à la collectivité de Saint-Barthélemy, le montant total de la dotation globale de construction et d’équipement scolaire calculé en 2008 au profit de cette dernière, conformément au deuxième alinéa, ne lui est pas versé et est prélevé au profit du budget de l’Etat. Pour la même raison, aucune dotation globale de construction et d’équipement scolaire n’est due à la collectivité de Saint-Barthélemy à compter de 2009.
