Public Life

In the same time Mr Ollier is assistant-Mayor in the city of Rueil Malmaison. Rueil is a high-class suburb of Paris, and a municipality which does not respect the "SRU law" (see chapter hereunder), a French law forcing municipalities to build 20% of social apartments. He is also, since March, 2007, the President of the Parliamentary Chamber in France.

Parliamentary Work

M. Ollier, following General de Gaulle's social positions, is the inventor of the "Work's dividend" who has been taken back in many Government decisions and parliamentary works.

Renewables Energies

Patrick Ollier présenta, lors du débat de lois d'orientation sur les énergies en 2005, un amendement sur les énergies éoliennes, dit "amendement Ollier", visant à hausser le plancher de rachat automatique par EDF de l'électricité produite par les parcs éoliens à plus de 30MW (contre 12MW précédemment), ce qui provoqua une levée de boucliers de la part des milieux associatifs et des organisations de défense de l'environnement et de promotion des énergies renouvelables. Face à la mobilisation engendrée, l'amendement fut finalement retiré. Électricité de France (EDF) is the main electricity generation and distribution company in France. ...

SRU Law

• M. Ollier constantly worked to amend the SRU law (solidarité et renouvellement urbains) (solidarity and urban renewal) of December 2000, and specially to amend and decrease the quota of 20 % of social apartments forced to the French municipalities ^[1].

• Ending January 2006, the SRU law was decreased by the National Assembly of the French Parliament by the adoption of a Patrick Ollier and Gérard Hamel's amendment, in first lecture (which means in the Parliamentary procedure that it has the governmental support) on a law project (loi ENL). This amendment Ollier-Hamel allowed to consider some real-estate operation to social accession to property as some social apartments. The French Senate suppressed these measures on April 2006.

• On may 30 2006, in the National Assembly, on a second-lecture of the law project (ENL), Patrick Ollier deponed again one amendment against the 20% quota od social appartments (logements sociaux) forced to 740 French municipalities.

Africa

• Patrick Ollier was head of the France-Libya friendship group of the French Parliament. He made several visits in that country, sometimes for the [Élysée]] or the Quai d'Orsay. He has been officially visiting other arab countries like Tunisia.

• Following Réseau Voltaire, he would have helped Elf to plant in Nigeria.

• In the Clearstream affair 2, his name has been cited in the meeting of the 9 janvier 2004 between Dominique de Villepin, Philippe Rondot and Jean-Louis Gergorin in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Jean-Louis Gergorin cited then «excessives links» of Patrick Ollier with arab countries. Le général Philippe Rondot aurait délibérément caché au ministre de la Défense que le nom de son conjoint avait été mentionné. Selon son témoignage, il avait reçu comme consigne de Dominique de Villepin de «ne rien communiquer au ministère de la Défense». Toutefois, il semble que son nom ne figurait pas dans les listings truqués de Clearstream. Patrick Ollier s'est constitué partie civile dans ce dossier.
