It envisages transfers of competence, services and average materials with the territorial collectivities in the fields in particular related on the roads and the great infrastructures like the ports, the airports and the ways of water. These transfers, which affect 30000 agents, also suppose an important reorganization of the decentralized services of ministry (DDE mainly).
