The Supervisory Board of Société du Canal Seine Nord Europe met on June 14, 2018 in Lille.
On the initiative of Xavier Bertrand, the Commission is now a permanent guest of these meetings. During his speech, Jean-Louis Colson, representing the European Commission presented the proposals of the European Commission made in May 2018 for the evolutions from 2021 of the "interconnection mechanism in Europe", mechanism which finances the Seine Canal -Northern Europe.
The Commission has proposed that cross-border projects, such as the Seine-Escaut network within which the Seine Nord Europe canal is inserted, could see their rate of financing of works increase from 40 to 50%. This proposal will be debated in the coming months in the Council and the European Parliament.
During this meeting, the Supervisory Board approved a framework partnership agreement for the implementation of the Canal Emploi program . This agreement, signed between Pôle Emploi (the French public employment service) and the Société du Canal Seine Nord Europe (Seine-Nord Europe Canal Company), establishes the general framework aimed at making the Canal a source of employment opportunities for the region. The development of a skills toolkit for canal-related jobs, training sessions for Pôle Emploi advisors on the skills required for a major construction project, and information sharing for the development of a construction site monitoring system are among the first actions undertaken.
“Canal Emploi” is thus the first system of the Grand Chantier approach, piloted by the prefect of Hauts de France, to have a framework partnership agreement. The Société du Canal Seine Nord Europe is currently preparing other partnership agreements for integration (Canal Solidaire, with the departments), companies (Canal Entreprises with the CCI Hauts de France and the Hauts de France region), training ( Canal Formation with the Hauts de France Region) and for the reception of site employees (Canal Accueil with the DREAL Hauts de France).
